today, i...

...massively simplified my blog. (for something so 'simple' it took quite a while!)

...found some nice school shoes that actually fit my sized 10w/11 duck feet! (quack, quack.)

...got a new pair of pants for my shrinking bod. (still need to find a brown/black leather belt, tho... a lot of my pants want to just slide on off... lol!)

...did a lot of laundry, including my bedding, my quilt, and my new thermal blanket! ($25 at wally world, can't even come close to that for a double/queen at sears! yay God!)

...got released from having to do something that was, unfortunately, stressing me out. (the coffeehouse.)

...am excited about school starting tomorrow - english 101, introduction to composition. yes, it is a first-year university level course. (i don't know why, but a lot of people's eyes have been getting big and wow-y when they realize that...)

...ate a yummy salmon dinner at danie's house! (ooooh, yum - it definately ain't your cookin', dahlink!)

...am going to bed early. (g'nite.)

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
