So it’s been a real long time since I have updated. I need to use this more. I have a year of seminary under my belt…it doesn’t feel as impressive as it sounds. Last Spring I took a class on Calvin and had the opportunity to steep myself in Calvin’s understanding of Scripture. I highly recommend Calvin on prayer. Here is Calvin’s introduction to prayer
