No idea! Last night as I left my Pastor's house (during halftime of the then out of hand BCS game), it was snowing a tiny bit. Just flurries really. This morning, what you see in the video is our reality. Now that the passive stress of Christmas has passed, I like what I see. I'm much more relaxed then I was a couple weeks ago, having to make plans for travel, who fits what size, what food to bring where, etc. Therefore, today's snow stands alone rather than being that "one more thing to contend with." It's nice....as I watch it fall I am reminded of the Gospel and God's promise to make our sins white as snow (Is.1), AND the pomise that like the snow coming from Heaven does not return, but waters the earth, so the Word of God will not return to Him before it accomplishes His bidding (Is.55). Today I'm thankful for God's mercy when I am actively undeserving, and that one day in His great Grace He sent His Word to my hard heart and granted me new life by it. That He has entrusted us as stewards of such a protected Gospel.... One that God Himself assures won't fail. I appreciate the reminder. Let it snow!!

Praise God for the gift no man can deserve, Christ Jesus the Righteous.

Ok, so this is a snowy, snowy day and I've decided it's time. Time for what? Well, time for my first Posterous giveaway. That's right, and I think I,ve even made it easy. There's a picture included with this post; it's of my children's newly built Gingerbread House and a copy of "The Sovereignty of God," by Pink. All I want you to do is caption that picture. The best caption (by poll if I can get that to work, otherwise I'll have a few friends vote) will win a brand new, still in plastic copy of Joel Beeke's book, "Living for God's Glory-An Introduction to Calvinism"! Happy Captioning! Should be fun!!

Grace Through a Mirror

From Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions-Number 8

8. Resolved, To act, in all respects, both speaking and doing, as if nobody had been so vile as I, and as if I had committed the same sins, or had the same infirmities or failings, as others; and that I will let the knowledge of their failings promote nothing but shame in myself, and prove only an occasion of my confessing my own sins and misery to God.

Amen?
