Skunks and the Gospel Coalition


Today I attended a wonderful and inspiring conference, the Ontario regional conference of the Gospel Coalition. The two main speakers were Mike Bullmore and Don Carson. Lots of fuel for coming lessons.
Don Carson came to our home for Sunday dinner when we lived in Thunder Bay. At that time we were having difficulty with skunks raiding our garden so our number three son took to trapping the skunks. As we sat around the dinner table the conversation turned to skunks. Our oldest son was mortified that we had one of the leading theologians of our time at our table and we talked about skunks. Maybe, just maybe, that was a refreshing change for Dr. Carson. Let me tell you it is one visit I have not forgotten.
