So good to chat with you again, friend. I so look forward to our weekly conversations. And I don’t know about you, but I could use a dose of encouragement this week. Lately, it seems like there is no shortage of attack on the creation of God, and while I have no desire to dive into politics or the complicated debates surrounding even more complicated issues, I have to admit: it breaks my heart to see the myriad of ways the creation seems to think it knows better than the Creator.

I’m a list person. I like my to-do lists; I like my step-by-step instructions. And I really like completing things. Which is probably a lot of the reason why here (see last week’s content for the definition of “here”) often feels so frustrating: because this isn’t the final destination. We haven’t completed anything.
