A long time fan of the music of John Michael Talbot, it was brought to my attention today that part of their facility, the Little Portion Hermitage, located in Arkansas' Ozark Mountains, was destroyed in fire last night, including the main chapel and library. In true JMT fashion his response to the fire was "God is stripping us back to what is really essential to our way of life and that we will rebuild with greater efficiency, but in stone." Unless we've experienced it ourselves, it is hard to imagine how we, ourselves, would react, given the same circumstances... What would I do if I were to lose all my "belongings" to fire, flood, or some other unforeseen disaster?... Sort of like the old adage, "It's hard to realize that God is all you need, until God is all you have..." or something like that... You can read more here.
