Finally reading Gerson’s book. Thanks, Josh, for recommending it and lending me your copy.

Tim Keller’s Forward finished. No nonsense, and makes me optimistic about the book!

I’m impatient

I want to see things done
and it makes it hard to enjoy the process sometimes.
I want to see results
but then I want everything
and then I’m not willing to put in the effort
to get any of it

the resurrection shines as an undying hope amidst the darkness of our helplessness and despair

PUSH

so I’ve got a free evening, and I decided to attend the inaugural meeting for the Princeton University Society of Humanists – PUSH.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I felt comfortable as the only evangelical Christian – really, the only non-humanist – who attended. People were pretty thoughtful – though I would have wished that the conversation was a bit more structured and a tiny bit more thoughtful at times. It was their first event though, and a pretty good showing.

Anyways, I’ll enjoy getting to meet these students! And maybe I’ll get Manna to co-sponsor an event with them!

haaaa

I don’t exactly remember where I was when I heard the news on September 11, but I’ll remember where I was when I heard about Osama’s death.

I have spent my life watching, not to see beyond the world, merely to see, great mystery, what is plainly before my eyes. I think the concept of transcendence is based on a misreading of creation. With all respect to heaven, the scene of the miracle is here, among us. The eternal as an idea is much less preposterous than time, and this very fact should seize our attention.

-Robinson, “The Death of Adam: Essays on Modernism”
