dual personalities

I am looking forward to a relatively quiet weekend with not much on the radar. I hope to catch up with some “desk work” and puttering, which I have been too busy to do lately. If it is cold and snowy, all the better.

I am going to continue to peruse my New Yorker magazines from 1947-48…

…and I’m going to read/listen to some more sermons by the Rev. Tim Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC.

“The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.”

He is really good. Listen to his sermons here.

The wee babes are coming over on Sunday for dinner, God willing and the creek don’t rise.

In the meantime, here’s another 1947 vintage cartoon that made me smile.

Have a great weekend!
