Today is my day for a post at Out of the Ordinary. I’m continuing the series on Scriptural Lessons from the Natural World with a post about what we can know about God because we can see that all his creatures are fed.
Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 9:04PM Sitting … on the couch in the living room.
Listening … to today’s Dividing Line, recorded.
Chuckling … at the newly built snowman at the end of my neighbor’s driveway. It’s holding a cardboard sign that says “May 1st.” Yes, we still have snow. (It even snowed a bit more today.)
Noticing … that snow on the ground and daylight at 10:30 pm when I take the dog out is a strange combination.
Hoping … that the weather forecasts for spring weather (finally!) for the next week will come to pass.
Reading … Canon Revisited: Establishing the Origins and Authority of the New Testament Books by Michael Kruger. It’s the best book I’ve read in a while, presenting a model of the canon that I’ve never had explained to me before: the self-authenticating model. This is one I’ll be sure to review when I’m finished because I think you should read it too (mothers of babies and toddlers excepted.)
Thinking … that today my youngest granddaughter gave us evidence of the truth that “every mother’s [daughter] learns to be naughty without book.” She has begun a shrieking tyrant phase. Let’s hope it’s short-lived.
Planning … to babysit the shrieking tyrant all day tomorrow.
Realizing … that I may not have paced myself well this week. Tomorrow might be a long day.
Also planning … to prime the drywall in the kitchen first thing next week. The kitchen reno project is progressing, but I am still without kitchen cupboards or sink. I have a makeshift kitchen in the dining room and I wash my dishes in the bathroom.
Wishing … a blessed May. May your snow be gone and your flowers be bloomed.

regarding some church history stories I’ve read. You may be familiar with these exaggerated or false accounts, too.
Mrs. B. B. Warfield
“In biographical sketches of Warfield today, it is common to read of Annie’s ill-health, but … the story frequently goes a bit beyond the historical evidence. Reports that she was struck by lightning early in marriage, paralyzed the rest of her life, that Warfield provided meticulous care for his invalid wife for the entirety of their marriage, and such, are common.” —Read the whole post from Fred Zaspel (Credo Magazine).
Jan Hus
It is very unlikely that the phrase his/her/your goose is cooked came from the story of the martyrdom of Jan Hus (World Wide Words).
