I TIMOTHY

This letter, written by Paul around 65 A.D. to his trusted helper, Timothy, was written to guide Timothy in his leadership of the church in Ephesus.

Paul addresses false teachers and teachings; prayer; women in the church; ministry; widows, Elders; slaves; love of money; and closes with personal instruction to Timothy.

Pasted copy of an E-mail received regarding an imaginary evaluation of the twelve disciples:

Dear Sir:
Thank you for submitting resumés of the twelve men you have chosen for
management positions in your new organization. All of them have taken a battery of
tests and been interviewed by our psychologist and our company vocational aptitude
consultant. The profiles of the tests are included.
It is the staff’s opinion that most of the nominees are lacking in background,
education, and vocational aptitude for the type of world-wide enterprise you are
undertaking. Simon Peter is quite emotionally unstable and given to fits of
temper. Andrew, his brother, has absolutely no required qualities of leadership.
The two other brothers, James and John, obviously place their own personal
ambitions far above any group loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning
attitude that would tend to undermine morale. Bartholomew, also known as
Nathanael, also exhibits a skepticism that could also undermine morale. We
feel it our ethical duty to inform you that Matthew, the tax-collector, has been
blacklisted by the Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. Thaddeus and Simon, of
the Zealot Party, have radical leanings and are not good choices. One of your
chosen candidates, however, shows great potential, a man of proven ability and
resourcefulness, with a keen business mind and contacts in high places. We
highly recommend Judas Iscariot as your treasurer and right-hand man.
As for the others mentioned, we recommend that you continue your search for
persons of greater experience and talent.
Sincerely yours,
THE JORDAN
MANAGEMENT CO.

LINDEN’S LIFE
Had another birthday celebration! Thuc and I went to a Greek restaurant near where he lives. He had chicken and I had leg of lamb. Good meal and an equally good visit. He also gave me a box of chocolates. Back at his house, he showed me a DVD of his speech at an American Legion post regarding his family and his time during the Vietnamese war. I took a nap after I returned home. Watched the SOTU address in the evening.
