Not My Tie Rod

So I don’t want to get involved in another comment thread at Evangel, because, believe it or not, I have things to do.

But here’s the deal: When you read Paul’s statement in Ephesians 1 where he says that by the redemption that comes through Christ Jesus, God is uniting everything, you don’t think, “Well, not my broken tie rod,” do you?

Why do people seem almost eager to qualify the power of the gospel?

Thanksgiving 3

Today, I’m thankful for the son who shovelled the snow in the driveway for me. (If I could find the cable to download a photo from the camera, I’d show you all the snow.)

Today the sun is shining and the sun on the snow makes things beautiful, so I’m thankful for the sun and snow, too.

What are you thankful for today?

• Rachel is thankful to know Christ.

Here are three ways you can join in the thanksgiving. 

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here and I’ll included it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in a post, or
• Post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog, send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post(s). If you plan to make your thanksgiving posts daily during the month, let me know that and you won’t need to send me daily links.
