Just recently, while researching posts on MacArthur's "Strange Fire" conference, I came across an old post from April of 2008 by Tim Brister (formally known as Timmy). What memories came flooding back to my mind. Prior to marrying Michael in 2010, I was Dianna Kane (now Dianna Wood) and spent most of my free-time in the Word, studying theology, and reading and writing blog posts. One of my favorite blogs was Tim Brister's "Provocations and Pantings". In 2008, Tim, started the "Puritan Challenge" where thousands of people were reading the same Puritan Paperback together; a new one each month for twelve months, and sharing our insights and comments each week. If I recall over 2500 people (mostly men) were part of the Puritan Challenge. I was known as "D.L. Kane" - There is a great story behind that. as well; but, I will save that for another post.
It was one of the greatest times that I can recall of "fellowship" and "iron sharpening iron". I had forgotten all about winning the giveaway until I came across this just the other day:
Thank you "Timmy" for bringing so many of us together 5 years ago.
My husband Michael has since read through all four of the titles that I won during this give away, plus countless others.
