A Good Find

For my inaugural I thought I would start off by misspelling inaugural (that word never looks right), and I thought I would offer a less that profound suggestion. I recently bought a new CD entitled The Valley of Vision (produced by Sovereign Grace).

I share that because it is a collection of puritan prayers set to contemporary music. Now if you are a purist, which I would imagine some puritan followers are, you may not appreciate these prayers being ripped from the originals. But I have to say that I have truly enjoyed them.

Now that my first post is done, I shall try to move on to slightly more helpful posts.

Who wrote this?

Anyone want to guess who penned this autobiographical statement?:

But the next day, at evening, being under many fears, I went to seek the Lord; and as I prayed, I cried, and my soul cried to him in these words, with strong cries: "O Lord, I beseech thee, show me that thou hast loved me with everlasting love" (Jer. 31:3). I had no sooner said it but, with sweetness, this returned upon me, as an echo or sounding again, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love." Now I went to bed at quiet; also, when I awaked the next morning, it was fresh upon my soul--and I believed it.

(Hint: It's not the fellow pictured.)
