I have felt this way. And I have been this way!
“Thy friends here have been thy delight, and have they not also been
thy vexation and grief? They are gracious, and are they not also sinful?
They are kind, and are they not soon displeased? They are humble, but,
alas, how proud also! Their graces are sweet, and their gifts helpful;
but are not their corruptions bitter, and their imperfections hurtful?
And art thou so loath to go from them to thy God?”
From Richard Baxter, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest.
James Bradford Pate's comments on religion, politics, entertainment, books, and life
Welcome, Neighbor!
Thank you for sharing my journey with me. It's a bumpy ride, but hopefully you'll find it worthwhile! To reach out to me, send me an e-mail at jamesbradfordpate@yahoo.com.
About Me
- James Pate
- My name is James Pate. This blog is about my journey. I read books. I watch movies and TV shows. I go to church. I try to find meaning. And, when I can’t do that, I just talk about stuff that I find interesting. I have degrees in fields of religious studies. I have an M.Phil. in the History of Biblical Interpretation from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also have an M.A. in Hebrew Bible from Jewish Theological Seminary, an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School, and a B.A. from DePauw University.
This is me. :)
