The Lord is rich enough for the needs of all who call on him.
				
				 from Romans 10:13 
			
			The text from Proverbs was given to me by the Chief Elder
			while I was in Madison the first time, around 1976.
			After working with the Moravian confirmation class in 2000,
			I began to describe the verses from Proverbs
			as my confirmation text
,
			by analogy with the Moravian tradition of giving a text
			to each newly confirmed member.
			This was not a Methodist tradition, so didn't get one
			when I was confirmed.
