dual personalities

It’s taken me several days to get my house back in order after our little foray into the world last weekend. I did not take my laptop with me, so I was off the internet for about four days except for a few quick Instagram checks on my phone. I have to say it was a nice break. I should take note.

Anyway, I have been catching up on my reading and here are some good links.

I have followed this lady’s blog for several years. She really walks the walk. “Years of higher education cannot compare to the visceral theology of a disability diagnosis. We are forced to tread the Gospel road of humility, where the way is rough, but holy. We learn to guard and guide our child in the beauty of their brokenness, and ours.”

The Desiring God website always provides good daily reading material such as this one and this one. And this video from John Piper’s Instagram is inspiring.

And here’s some expository commentary on one of my favorite Bible verses.

Now don’t be shocked, but I was sorry to hear that Paul Reubens had passed away last week. I know that Carl Trueman says “we live in a childish age, where immaturity is lionized” and I agree with him. But I always thought Pee Wee Herman was amusing–maybe that shows how immature I am–but it’s true. He made me laugh. And I loved all the crazy characters on his kid’s show–Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne!), Captain Carl (Phil Hartman!) and the rest. The show was like an updated Captain Kangaroo and just as innocent. I also liked Pee Wee’s Big Adventure (1985).

I know that Reubens messed up, but he was resilient. He managed several comebacks–remember Murphy Brown?–and he kept working, mainly because he had a lot of friends.

We leave judgement to the Lord.
