Twenty years of cold beans went by before Tom Jacobs learned that his wife had been asking for something other than what he heard, and floor mats as an anniversary present bought him two weeks of silence. Loving people according to their needs rather than our own instincts is the work, he tells the 1990 Colorado Summer CFO, and forgiveness is poured like concrete into set forms.
Tom Jacobs left a Father’s Day shirt in a motel in Greeley, and spent the drive home having his own will broken behind a tractor pulling a wide disc. Psalm 137 is about spiritual dryness, he tells the 1990 Colorado Summer CFO, and the point of the exile is not to hang up the harp while you are in it.
Offered an all-expenses trip to the Olympics by a group whose gospel he could not accept, Tom Jacobs turned it down because a gift cannot be separated from its giver. Moses asked to know God’s ways before he asked to see his glory, he reminds the 1990 Colorado Summer CFO, and once heard for himself that a ministry had been blessed in spite of him.

Longinus told writers to imagine Plato reading over their shoulder, and Tom Jacobs asks the 1990 Colorado Summer CFO to picture Paul there instead. Reading Hebrews 12, he sets Polycarp’s answer at the stake beside a poll in which teenagers named everyone but Jesus, and argues that the cloud of witnesses is watching the ordinary week.
