Maybe Blaugest will be the nudge I need to blog more consistently. Two days and two micro posts in so I guess we’ll see.
I finished reading: Exodus Old and New by L. Michael Morales 📚 Although a few of the author’s connections were unconvincing, this book succeeds in clearly establishing the exodus as an important theme throughout scripture.
As time goes on, I find myself less enthralled with big name conference speakers and more impressed by the pastors of small local churches with a long track record of faithfulness.
Finished reading: The Covenants by R. B. C. Howell, a book on Baptist Covenant Theology from the 19th century. I found chapters 7 and 9 the most helpful. Be aware, that the author has some unique views, and the language is a bit archaic. It’s available free online or as an ebook 📚
Time flies, but it still manages to surprise me sometimes. I was just looking back at an old journal entry for something that I thought happened about two years ago. It was actually six years ago!
O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! (Psalm 39:4)
We found lots of turtles on yesterday’s hike. 🐢 📷
Spent a few hours with the kids walking in the woods near our house this morning. After last night’s rain, the weather was cool, and everything was fresh and green. 📷
The irises have exploded into bloom over the last few days here. I wanted to snap a shot of this bed before the rain moves in. 🌱
Finished reading: The Art of Disagreeing by Gavin Ortlund 📚
This brief book is full of wisdom for our contentious times, explaining how meaningful disagreements must be both well-founded and graciously handled.
Recently Finished reading: Rose Guide to End-Times Prophecy by Timothy Paul Jones 📚I’m grateful for the author’s attempts to be even-handed, and highlight things to appreciation about each perspective. Still, it covers too much for most lay readers, and not enough for an in-depth assessment.
