GraceTalk Messages



I recently read a message I'd given in 1984 and felt a mixture of embarrassment and surprise.  Embarrassed because it seems inadequate now, and surprised by how much my worldview has changed.   Twenty-five years from now, I might read these messages and have a similar reaction.  I offer no guarantee that my work or words will endure the eroding effects of time.  I can only assure you these thoughts have been helpful to me, and perhaps a few others, today.  With that qualification, I offer them to you.
