"Preaching Around the Gospel"

I recently had a conversation with a man that I love dearly. Oh...you guys know him...Dad.
Anyway, during this conversation, Dad said something that I will never forget.
He said, that often times we have been "preaching all around the Gospel, and not on it." That phrase will stick with me forever, I have no doubt. I would love it, if dad would write down more of his thoughts about that conversation that we had, as i know it would be beneficial to all of you and for me to hear it again.(HINT, HINT DAD)

Anyway, I came across this quote today...

"Find the books that are blood-earnest about God, and you will discover they know the path that leads to joy more accurately than many contemporary guides."(The Supremacy of God in Preaching, pg. 61)

-John Piper

Hi Clif, I'm trying to get your dad to make "blogging" with you all his hobby. Give me time. I know once he got into it he would enjoy doing it.
We heard from Cirtis. He is in Ca. i talked to Lauren last nite and he called while we were talking so she had to go.
So keep praying for him.
I just want to tell you all that I love eachof you very much. Mom
