Oh, on a side note -- I once heard that A.W. Tozer was fairly introverted and this caused him to gain a negative reputation among some of his congregation. Not sure if that's true or not.

Thanks for sharing that. I have thought about this and I always tend to run from superficiality. And meet-and-greets and most social occasions seem to revel in the superficial. "Hi, what's your name?" "Tell me what you do again?" "How long have you been in the area?" I learned to overcome some of th...

crgfstr1, Thank you for responding and sharing an example from your own experience.
