No Time To Write!

There is no time to write today so instead I’m just going to blog! I have a busy day ahead of me. We have to go and pick up our tuxes, pick up flowers, arrange flowers (funny how they didn’t even ask me to participate in that), shuttle people across the city, rehearse the wedding and make our way to a restaurant for a rehearsal dinner. I’m also hoping to meet up with my dad so we can go out for lunch together and between times I need to finish off my speech. And today’s not even the wedding day!

I was saddened to hear that Jeri of Sober Minded fame will no longer be blogging. She has decided to go back to doing what she preferred to do, which is posting intelligent comments on other people’s sites. Though I’m sorry to hear she’s going to stop posting, I’m hoping we’ll see more of her around here again. I admire her for at least knowing when to call it quits rather than posting less and less and less and just letting the site die. So that frees up yet another coveted spot on my BlogRoll!

Phones are ringing and doorbells buzzing so it’s time for me to hit the road and begin making my way through that extensive list of chores.

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
