God's Grace and the Proclaimed Word

Preaching is a side ministry of mine. I, on occasion, fill the pulpit at my local church, Faith Bible Fellowship; it's actually the fulfillment of the calling and vision for ministry I developed while at seminary:
Use my training to support, help, and build up my local congregation as a lay teacher, while working in other areas. FBF is a wonderfully well suited place to fulfill that vision.
Sunday past, I was scheduled to preach. Balancing sermon preparation with all the other demands on life is never easy, so I've opted to progress systematically through a book. For some reason, which now, I can't recall, I chose the book of Isaiah. This Sunday had me at Isaiah 3:13-4:1, which, when you read it, is not the easiest passage to work through. It is filled with cultural pitfalls, offenses, foibles. But, it was next, so I dug in and ploughed through. From comments I've received, both first and second-handed, I can only thank God for His grace through this.
Solo Deo Gloria,

A Sample Entry

For context, see this.

A sample entry, primarly for Chris, from his comment. The limitations of the computer will not be observed. Limited artwork, based on an even more greatly limited skill, may attempt to adorn the pages. But here's the fundamental layout:

Name
Dates: Birth - Death
Relationship, with a nod to future generations who may not know the context.

An example, my father:

John Edward Brooks
October 27, 1943 - January 20, 2004
Husband of BB, father to Jason and Aunt J

If anything else comes to mind, let me know folks.

Solo Deo Gloria,
