I have some fireweed in the yard that is starting to bloom so I’m putting a photo of fireweed on my desktop. I like how it works even though the photo is the wrong shape. You can find out more about this wildflower in an old post called Hot Pink.
All of the of Yukon wildflower posts are linked right under my photo in the sidebar on the far right.

Thinking about the Church
Church discipline done right can lead to restoration (Provocations & Pantings). Update, July 3: Tom Ascol tells the same story in three parts, giving us more details: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck in The Washington Post on why we should love the church:
We love the church because Christ loved the church. She is his bride—a harlot at times, but his bride nonetheless, being washed clean by the word of God (Eph. 5:25-26). If you are into Jesus, don’t rail on his bride. Jesus died for the church, so don’t be bothered by a little dying to self for the church’s sake.

[I]t is an unusual term for a son to use of his mother. It is not a Hebrew or a Greek expression.

The Lord’s supper is a sacrament of the New Testament,[1] wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to the appointment of Jesus Christ, his death is showed forth; and they that worthily communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace;[2] have their union and communion with him confirmed;[3] testify and renew their thankfulness,[4] and engagement to God,[5] and their mutual love and fellowship each with other, as members of the same mystical body.[6]
