For my Bible reading this morning, I read one of my favorite chapters, 2 Corinthians 5. Verse 15 has been a “hit-between-the-eyes” challenge since I heard it preached my first year in chapel at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College—

καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἵνα οἱ ζῶντες μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς ζῶσιν

ἀλλὰ τῷ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντικαὶ ἐγερθέντι.

Changed the thermostat in the van; I miss Jess, our 1994 Suburban. I could sit in the engine compartment and knock that job out in 10-15 minutes, tops. A 1997 Chevy Astro involves considerable “unpacking” just to get to the thermostat housing, much less try to fit a socket on the nut. It’s done, though, praise the Lord. Saved me a few bucks, at least!

Finally showered and went “to work” early afternoon. :-p

Worked on getting music recorded for OBC’s gospel on CD with my daughter Meagan. So thankful to have kids using their talents, gifts, and abilities for the Lord!

Studied John 2:1-11 for Sunday morning’s message, and “What is a Disciple?” for Sunday afternoon.
