The last days...

So, the major news of the day is that I am supposed to start work today. Earlier this week I was hired for security work. So, I've spent good portions of the last several days running around and trying to arrange details for that and also for the tutoring job that Bethany is hoping to get.


Then last night, Bethany took me out to a Braves-Rockies game as a wedding present. That was fun as we got to watch them win 4-1 and also got the whole experience complete with free t-shirts, a rain delay, hot dogs, and some spectacular lightning to substitute for fireworks. (You know that either the game is boring or the lightning is good when some of the biggest crowd noise comes after a flash of lightning.) :)

Yesterday's sermon

At church yesterday, I think I heard the best sermon I have ever heard on being a husband as our new pastor works his way through Colossians (though the message was mostly from Eph 5.) It is available as the most recent sermon from either provcast.org or on iTunes under "Provcast." It is excellent as Jason compares Jesus' Gospel love for the church with the Gospel love which husbands should have for their wives. And he makes his application much broader than just husbands, so I highly recommend downloading and listening to this message.

Also, I started The Pleasures of God again yesterday. It is by John Piper and is a tremendous read as far as I've gotten. It immediately begins expanding one's understanding and awe of God. For me personally, it began stoking again my affections for God which I realized had been lacking in their proper focus.
