And today I came downstairs to find her new hiding spot... Our dryer!
What went down last night:
Arcade Fire rocked this city. Oh, did I mention I met them?
A great start to the day is...
Delicious pancakes made by my beautiful wife.
Idolatry isn't a good idea.
"To refuse to glorify God, and even worse, to exchange 'the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles' (Rom 1:23) is to frustrate the purpose of our very existence. Idolatry is radical self-harm." - Christopher J.H. Wright
Jesus Wants the Rose

I have watched this video many, many times, but it never ceases to re-ignite my heart towards the beauty and grace of Jesus.
A word of caution from Dr. Jack Collins:
"My answer to all of these questions is to just be careful. When porcupines mate they have to be careful! When you are trying to figure out what a New Testament author is doing when they quote or reference an Old Testament text you have to be careful!"

Theology Thursday!
Clever title, huh? Here's a quote to ponder, enjoy, and rest in.
"God's will is one with his being, his wisdom, goodness, and all his other perfections. For that reason the human heart and head can rest in that will, for it is the will of an almighty God and a gracious father, not that of a blind fate, incalculable chance, or dark force of nature. His sovereignty is one of unlimited power, but also of wisdom and grace. He is both king and father at one and the same time."
- Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, Vol. 2: God & Creation, 240
