God works in ridiculous ways. […] I found a neat book today. It was called How to Build a Fire: and Other Handy Things Your Grandfather Knew. […] “Don’t panic.” I love that phrase. Most geeks do. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is full of quirky essays, rambly asides, and bits and pieces of razor-sharp insight. This is probably my favorite. […] Back when I was in high school, I remember being at someone’s house, playing volleyball in the yard (or attempting to play volleyball; I have since given up), and the sun was setting. It was a beautiful sunset. Not that I can remember it specifically or anything, but it must have been beautiful […] This year I read Perelandra during Holy Week. It wasn’t on purpose, I swear.

As with “faith” a couple weeks back, I took some time to look up […] I’ve been mulling for the past week something that Elisabeth Elliot says in Passion and Purity, about how we need to lay down everything that is ours in surrender to God. Everything. A lot of people talk about laying things down and surrendering them, but most of the time we think of it […] “Is a slave a slave if he doesn’t know he’s been enslaved?” The worst trap is the one you don’t realize you’re in. It’s a strange truth of my psyche that I realize I’ve fallen in a rut because everything starts getting on my nerves. It’s like a detector […] |
