Yeah, last week I was pulled in too many directions to get anything written.
This week … a thing I thought wasn’t starting until October 1 … started Monday.
Pray for me.
If you don’t hear from me next week, assume I’m busy doing the things.
Much of the time I’m wandering around in a stunned, saddened daze over the current state of the Covid wars and latest surge. (When not in a stunned, saddened daze over the current levels of ragweed.) Oh how we humans don’t like to be told what to do.
Speaking of theology.
I finally finished watching Season 2 of The Chosen. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon of this crowdfunded, really well-done tale of Jesus and the disciples, you need to take the leap. Watch for free on their free (did I mention free) phone app or find episodes on YouTube. If you have an internet-connected television, it’s easy to get the show to play on your tv using the phone app. (The app guides you through how to.)
The True Tunes podcast recently did a three-part series on the music of The Chosen. (Dan Haseltine from Jars of Clay is a key player.) Go look for it wherever you listen to podcasts or search on the web.
I was struck by a Dallas Willard quote mentioned on James Bryan Smith’s Things Above podcast the other day …
“Satan didn’t hit Eve with a stick, he hit her with an idea.”
Let that one sink in.
Maybe we should all let that one sink in on a regular basis.
