NOTES ON THE FIRST IDIOT IN HEAVEN
I’ve read many books in my life on this religious topic or that one… but THE FIRST IDIOT IN HEAVEN is the only book I’ve ever read that acknowledges and salutes the saints listed in Romans, chapter 16. Listen… those folks in Romans 16 were very much like the folks who show up here to listen to Martin’s chats and make comments… we’re a ragtag bunch folks from all over the world, and the thing we have in common is we believe God and that is unique.
We’re plumbers, bakers, wives, ex-doubters, consultants, tentmakers, ex-christians, smokers and lovers of chocolates. Well, when I read Martin’s salute to the kids in Rome, I got choked up. Paul’s friends and co-workers had a lot of love. They loved each other and they loved Paul. And of course they loved the Lord.
Go read Romans 16… and then get a copy of THE FIRST IDIOT AND HEAVEN and read Martin’s nod to those guys. They are just like us. Misfits who found that their life was hid together with Christ in God. (COL 3:3)
Grace to you.
