SO WEIRD....

#1. i'm sitting here typing and i glance over at the tv (which is off, as usual)... and i see my reflection in the tv screen! i've NEVER noticed my reflection before, and nothing has changed for it to be 'new'... so it's always been there but i never saw it!!! its amazing how my crumpled over posture is actually not that humpbacked - my back and neck are actually pretty straight, just leaned over at an almost 45 degree angle.... :D

#2. it was a cold and windy night.... (last night)... it was late, and i was in the bathroom brushin' up before bed, when all of a sudden, from within the dark recesses of my apartment, i hear a huge CRASH!!!.... i'm like, ok, what fell over now? ....i wander into my spare room to discover the closet door on the floor. what the heck?! it has been in the open position (folded in half on itself), mechanism firmly nestled in it's track, forever... and suddenly it decided to take a nosedive onto the floor? it forgot to yell TIMBER!!!! geez....

but it is supremely odd, y'know? what, did the house shift in all that wind? was there a mild earthquake (which happens sometimes)?... or was the building just settling a tad? i wonder this because the door mechanism is totally intact.... it can't just randomly 'fall' out of it's track, can it? *scratches shorthaired head*

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
