Finished reading: The God Who Makes Himself Known by W. Ross Blackburn This book helped me better grasp one of the major themes of the book of Exodus. Recommended for anyone teaching or preaching through Exodus. 📚
Finished reading: God in Our Midst by Daniel R. Hyde This book is a helpful examination of the how the tabernacle and its various components reveal God’s character, and point to Christ. 📚
Finished reading: How to Lead Your Family by Joel R. Beeke. Two days in and I’ve already finished what may be my most impactful book of the year. (Yes it’s short. It’s also that good.) I’ll be recommending this one frequently. 📚
After spending the better part of two days troubleshooting water heater problems and then installing a new water heater, I believe plumbing has surpassed electrical to become my least favorite type of household task.
Rewatched: The Quiet Man The rainy autumn wether has me in the mood for classic films. 🍿
We enjoyed a trip to the Gulf Coast two weeks ago for some much-needed rest and a mental reset. It was our four kids’ first trip to the ocean.
Highlights for them included swimming in the ocean, collecting seashells, a book sale at the local library, and fresh seafood—especially shrimp po’boys.
Spent part of Labor Day watching from a nearby field as the Blue Angels performed at the local air show. All the kids loved it except the youngest, who found it much too loud.
Finished reading: The Spirit of the Age by J. V. Fesko 📚 This brief, somewhat technical overview provides a helpful historical survey and analysis of the confession’s pneumatology.
Finished re-reading: The Kingdom of God by Jeffrey Johnson 📚 An excellent book. One of the best introductions to historic baptist covenant theology that I’ve read.
