Christine Jeske (prof at Wheaton) sent me a prerelease copy of her book before the holidays. Since today is the actual release day, it seemed like a good day to get started with my afternoon coffee.
After reading one chapter, I can say, “This is going to be a good one!”

It’s been years since I’ve been to #PCAGA - it was great to see so many old friends.

I picked this up again after several years and have been reading a couple of chapters each morning
I find myself surprised by scripture again and again as Wright’s translation catches my attention

I read Psalm 121 this morning which reminded me of Uncle Ken
He was an Indian man in London whom I visited many times in the hospital before his passing. He always wanted me to read Ps 121 to him
Thank you Uncle Ken for reminding me again that our help comes from the Lord (vs2)
