There are many good things in this world, but what are the best things? There are many things to fret over in this world, but what are the things actually worth our attention?
From time to time I am again reminded of our many vanities. Even Christians. Even myself. Of what ultimate worth is there in [...]
If you’ve been reading the news lately you’ll certainly have caught the coverage on race that’s swallowed up american news. White cop arrests black Harvard professor in his own home. You can read about it for yourself here if you haven’t yet. Obama adds his voice to the commentary mix, saying the cop “acted stupidly” [...]
Stayed behind today after CCF in MC 2034. Made a couple new friends. Was working away on my laptop as they came in. Chatted with one, then both, back to the one, then silence, and then the other returns.

How do Christians see the law? Seems like a bunch of rules, making up a religion so littered with restrictions, no this no that. Well I make no claim to be an authority but lemme share what I’ve reflected on and wrote in my journal Nov 2 (booya, my first Moleskine!).
Follow-up points on humility from previous post (go read that first).

God does not give us overcoming life: He gives us life as we overcome. The strain is the strength. If there is no strain, there is no strength. Are you asking God to give you life [...]
You haaaaaaavennnnnnnn’t metttttttttttt —- STREETCAR! *dundundun*
It’s a Simpsons episode with Marge in a musical, if you didn’t know >_< … But to the point of it: I do warmly agree with that view. The highlights of my day yesterday were the short but life-filled interactions with strangers.
I had been thinking about life and strangers a [...]
The glory of God is man fully alive. – St. Irenaeus
