C.H. Spurgeon-THE MOURNER'S COMFORTER

 POST #4

Applying for a job.
"You're over-qualified."
So what?
Bigger fish to fry. 

Get a job. Finally. 
Winter.  
Mid-summer, leave work, sick. 
Doctors: Mononucleosis. 
Cure? Rest.

Alone, weeks later.
Feeling better.  
Find something to read.
On bulging bookcase, something
Older brother re-published
Sent me a copy
...had to be years ago. 

OK, something different. 


Quickly, from small, obscure book: 
"Even now, you live in the love of God."  

Really! Miserable me?

Two years since Bonhoeffer's Life Together.
A year-plus since Turning Your Faith Loose.  


This painfully hot summer
Comfort begins to seep in  
Sleep without nightmares!

and more.
