This morning’s seminary class – or, at least, the second half of it – focused on the Lord’s Supper. Last week we all read a book entitled A Holy Meal by Gordon T. Smith.

So, apparently my last post was not as amazingly profound as I thought. Hence, I’m posting again, even though I still don’t have anything amazingly profound to say. At least what I say here won’t be amazingly (or profoundly) wrong…
