The EV authors were putting on paper what I had been thinking about
for at least the previous 10 years, and I wanted to connect with them personally because I was (pretty desperately) looking
for a group of Protestant Christians with whom I could seek God, hoping to find anything like what they were advocating and describing near where I live in the Coastal Range of northern California — the
pickin's were and are really
slim.
I spent some time searching Pinterest and Google last night
for inspiration (to give to our builder), but unfortunately, the
pickins were pretty
slim.
