Greetings from Pop’s Pool Hall!
Imagine me standing behind a bar with a nice glass of cabernet sauvignon in front of me, pondering how hard it would have been for those early followers of Jesus, and thankful I didn’t have to do a book tour in first-century Palestine. (I hear the podcasters in Rome were brutal.)
Okay, so I’m not actually standing behind a bar as I write this. But that’s not the point.
See, I couldn’t resist writing one last time with three quick things to share.
First, yes, there really was a Pop’s Pool Hall! Well, sorta. Pops was my grandfather. He owned a pool hall, and he was very, very good at the game. Like, criminally good. I’ve inherited the honorary title of Pops for my granddaughter, but sadly, not my grandfather’s skill with the pool cue.
Second, the circular “thank you” paragraph. Many of you have written to say thank you for the devotions, so thank you for saying thank you! And if you’d like to say thank you in a more tangible way, please consider a gift to the nonprofit I started some years ago. You can say thank you here. Anything you give goes directly to help deserving students in Belize, and not a penny goes to me.
Third, by this time next year, I will have published a new book of devotions for the Easter season. We hope to have it available later this year, but the timing of these things is always murky. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, if you can’t get enough of the Junkyard Wisdom™ world, you can check out:
- My practical, funny book on leadership, Salvaged
- My seasonal devotional book, Junkyard Wisdom Advent
Thanks again for following along. I’m glad you’re on this journey with me … and I hope to see you for our emailed Advent devotions later this year!
Until tomorrow, whenever that might be,
Pops. Um, I mean Roy
