Question 3: Share a transforming experience like Saul to Paul which came about reading Skip’s article(s).

Reading Skip’s articles has urged me to claim for myself that I can do what is required of me. At every turn, Skip reminds us that it is not a matter of human will, but of knowing ourselves as we actually are, God’s loved and completely spiritual expression. I’m not sure I’ve had a Saul-to-Paul transformation, but I do have a better idea of what’s needed and a greater willingness to engage in the work with more consistency. 

I remember one Association address when Skip (with his wry smile and quiet sense of humor) said something to this effect, “God doesn’t have a very good reputation—don’t we want to do what we can to improve that?” So as wimpy as my results sometimes seem, I still press on, knowing that with God all is possible. Although I have not completed reading Skip’s articles, I look forward to reading them all and gaining more of what our dear teacher so lovingly set out for us for all of time. Very grateful indeed.
