Calvin 500

Friends,

There are plenty of Calvin events this year commemorating the 500th year of Calvin's birth. In my neck of the woods University Reformed Church in conjunction with Providence PCA is hosting a conference from Feb 20-21 on Calvin. Also Princeton Seminary has daily readings from the Institutes, which is quite profitable. I've begun to read the daily readings and I've been struck by the clarity and simplicity of Calvin's writing. I've read different sections of the Institutes, but reading the daily readings has been wonderful. If you are interested go to http://www.ptsem.edu, and find the Calvin link on the homepage.

It's Been a Year!

I failed to write on Jan 1 to mark the one year anniversary of this blog. I was busy and tired; but I enjoyed a one day trip to New York City on New Year's Day. I was good to be back in my favorite city.

I want to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to all who have read this blog during the past year. I have been pleasantly surprised at how many are reading.

For the New Year, I pray that God will use this blog for his glory and for the reformation of Christ's Church among African Americans.

I pray that all of you have a blessed and prosperous New Year.
