Francis would work in the vegetable garden, while Edith made lunch.<br />Lectures, concerts, and eating together created a family atmosphere. Cow bells would wake me up to another day filled with new questions that came from people confused about life and searching for something. <br />Everyone could feel the love that came from these two.Dan Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774840405651938910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-67360902869613358932010-08-15T08:05:33.370-06:002010-08-15T08:05:33.370-06:00Dani:

When I was going through a period of depression a few years ago I was greatly encouraged by "True Spirituality". I think that that is his best book, and a classic treatise on sanctification. <BR/> Edith and he had an amazing gift of hospitality. I can't imagine what it would be like to have students, many of whom were hooked on drugs, come to my place and challenge me day after day, year after year. Only the grace of the Holy Spirit could help me!Martin Gamblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995416634326506884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-72508377530431730582008-12-29T12:36:00.000-07:002008-12-29T12:36:00.000-07:00Ben:This book is horrible, mean, and largely untru...Ben:<BR/><BR/>This book is horrible, mean, and largely untrue.
