In my last email, I promised E2R subscribers a special Christmas treat. I said I had “a little project” I was working on.
Well, I have bad news and good news.
The bad news is I didn’t get it finished in time. This has been a huge year of writing and about a week ago I hit the wall. I had nothing left in the tank. Instead of beating myself up about it, we went away on a family weekend to here…
It was a lovely break. I played games with the kids, I went for a walk with Camilla, and we watched the cricket. I’m feeling much refreshed, thanks for asking.
The good news is you’re not going home empty handed. To make up for the other thing, I am giving away, this week only, my study note Spirit, Soul & Body: How to Walk In the Spirit. In this note I ask questions like: What is your spirit and what does it do? How does your spirit relate to your soul? How do we walk in the spirit? How do we test the spirits? How does the conscience relate to the spirit? And more.
Normally my study notes are only available to patrons. But it’s Christmas, so here you go.
Speaking of patrons, I would like to close this year by personally thanking my monthly supporters. Without the generosity of these wonderful people, there would be no Grace Commentary, no Grace Bible, and no Escape to Reality. On behalf of all my readers, I would like to give huge Christmas “thank you” to:

Paul
