This man was a good and decent man...

I have to thank Tangible (if you're reading, thank you again!) for pointing to this essay/blog of Fred Saunders. Here's a quote on the possibility that the connotation of "protestant" may be getting an unfair shake:

"Lord Jesus, I sin. Grant that I may never cease grieving because of it, never be content with myself, never think I can reach a point of perfection. Kill my envy, command my tongue, trample down self. Give me grace to be holy, kind, gentle, pure, peaceable, to live for Thee and not for self...
