Q: Why do I like these quotes? A: Because they make me feel good. :~)

Earl - As I write, teach Sunday School, I think of people like you in my audience. It gives me a sanity check of what I am saying. Would what I say pass the "crap" or sanity check of you or others that I know?

KC -
You're a great sister ;-)

Colin Maxwell -
I enjoyed your post and desire to think these things out.

Loren - Your posting is full of many thought provoking points and excellent, searching questions ... you're really a very profound thinker.

Earl - You have a fun blog!
I really appreciate what you're doing.

Matthew - Its nice to read an edifying Christian blog ... You are so level-headed.

Mark - You're real! The blogosphere needs more real people like you around.

Loren - I'll bet you stay up late nights thinking about all the theology that must be swimming through your head. I just want to say that it's great to see the ways in which God is challenging you, and using you to minister through your blog. The things you, and others here, have shared, are very thought provoking!

I think God is awesome. He calls red white and white red ... and He is reasonable all at the same time. He has a very incredible sense of color. This is important to artsy people like me.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(Isaiah 1:18)

Q: Why do I call them 'posts of note'? A: Because they are about things that I think about ... or have thought about ... a lot.

These are people that are so very reasonable.

Although I don't necessarily agree with everything all these people say, I do think we have something essential in common - proclaiming that the Word of God is the absolute truth.

Going Away

We are leaving on a 6 day vacation this morning.
(We have left a gargoyle in our house for protection it so if you are local and reading this: don't think about robbing us.)

We would appreciate your prayers as we ae going to a cottage on a lake and we have a very active 18 month old. It will be fun for the older kids but it may be a challenge for mom and dad.

Thanks!

God bless you and have a good week.

  • Alvin,
    How kind of you to pray for us. Lions and cats are good for protection. hehe

    David,
    We had fun for the most part except for playing chase with Levi, which wedid most of the time. He is so busy!
    He doesn't like driving long distances either so it was good that this place was only 1 hour away. I had looked into going to the Blue Ridge area but the drive was so long I was wise enough to know it would be horrifying. :~)

    Dawn,
    Thanks! I am glad to be back but we did have some really great moments. Thanks for holding down the non-Calvinistic fort around campus. haha

  • Hi Rose,

    I hope you had a good trip, and I'm glad you're back safely.

    I just want to say I can relate to the dichotomy of a "vacation" with an active toddler. :-) We went to a friend's house on the lake this weekend, and the drive was 3 hours. Our littlest one just turned 18 months, and 3 hours (with 1 stop halfway) pretty much maxed out his traveling abilities. And there were 2 sets of stairs at the lake house, so when he wasn't sleeping we took turns following him up and down the stairs, or keeping him from the dog, or from getting run over by the bigger kids, etc. Never a dull moment on vacation with a toddler! :-)

    I must say though that our 5-year-old had some of the most fun of his life. I'm sure your older kids had a terrific time too. So, it's worth it, and yes, it does get better. :-)

  • Rachel,
    Thanks for commiserating with me!
    About two weeks ago we went on a 3.5 hour trip to the Creation Museum in the Cincinnati/Kentucky area... and it was too long of a drive - he didn't like it! (Therefore - no one liked it - the drive that is)
