Continuing with my farewell impressions... There have been some past members of TruthTalk that deserve mention. Slade and Kay Henson as well as their friend Jeff Powers were always pointing us toward our Hebraic roots. It was an interesting blend of traditionalism in regards to the written word of Scripture and yet liberal social philosophy. Kay's interest in social reform and her work with the messed up children's legal system in Florida will remain in my prayers. Glenn Tabor will be remembered for his passion toward basic foundations of Christianity. Glenn had a knack for bringing out a lot of discussion from people who differed from him. He always carried a pastor's care for everyone on the list, yet he was zealous toward ideology that conformed to traditional Christian beliefs. Laura Hamm likewise will be remembered in my heart as someone who stimulated thinking and was not afraid to jump into waters unknown. She had an ability to hear and seemed very able to represent the foot washing Baptists from time to time. Michael Douglas will always be close to my heart as a firm believer to communing with the Lord in prayer. His dialogue about praying against storms and calamities will not easily be forgotten. He brought to the forum practical considerations for the spiritually inclined. Michael was not content with ideology and philosophy, but ulitmately concerned with where the rubber meets the road in spiritual matters. His life of faith will always be a constant inspiration to my spirit. Jonathan Hughes will be remembered as a passionate person for truth without any fluff. Ideologically on the other side from me, his challenges to my mindset and working philosophical paradigms encouraged and promoted thinking. Caroline Wong will be remembered for being well informed and able to raise issues that I would typically otherwise consider mundane.
Terry Clifton will always have a special place in my heart. In many ways, when he was here, he was the resident TruthTalk elder. He served as a conservative anchor, always the calm voice of reason when things became tumultuous. Terry had a knack for being understanding yet unswayed away from the Biblical no-nonsense perspective of truth. More to come later...
