Hello,<\/p>\n
I’ve written before. I preached for a couple of decades with no formal training. However, being an adult class teacher for most of my adult life helped a lot. We attend a small congregation. I retired from a large company, so I didn’t need a big salary.<\/p>\n
I never meant to get into that. This is just a thank you for your website. I use it often.<\/p>\n
I have been reading the material on hymns by Wayne S. Walker for quite some time. If I remember correctly, you mentioned him in an email. I enjoyed it immensely.<\/p>\n
Thanks again. All the best to you and yours.<\/p>\n\t
I’m always happy to hear that the website is beneficial to others in the church.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
