Ponds, not wells: the peace that stays

- How do you approach God in prayer without sounding phony or feeling like you are talking into a tin can?

Personality, peace, and why you shouldn't envy other testimonies
The testimony discussion continues: preaching doesn't make anyone a different person ('Dan's not debonair'), and envying dramatic rescue stories misses the point - 'God has more grace for the 20 that's trying than for the 80 that's absorbing.'
