@Matt Did you read this one recently?

"A paradox has two sides, each of which we believe to be true even though we cannot (yet) see how to reconcile them. A contradiction has two sides where we can see that they cannot be reconciled. God does not deal in contradictions." —John C. Lennox

Jeremiah 18 — God is in complete control, even of the nations of the world. His control is not capricious or tyrannical but according to His holy character. #quiettime

@davidrshorten J-pop is really doing it for me these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEJvJD4BSoU

@davidrshorten Agreed, the neglect part is not funny. But burning the Sims is hilarious.

@davidrshorten There's a funny story from This American Life about a girl whose mother was obsessed with The Sims: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/684/burn-it-down/act-two-22

@davidrshorten Haha, wow, nice going. Glad that worked!

John 6:44-47 — Faith is a gift from God in that He always takes the initiative in revealing reasons to believe in Him, and drawing us to a point of decision. #quiettime

@davewalton Glad to have you here! There's not a lot going on yet, but you might be interested in following @davidrshorten and @Matt.

Romans 4:4-5 — Thank God for the gift of faith, which is nothing like works that merit salvation, but is nonetheless something we can do. #quiettime

@Matt We hit a sale at Costco (hence the diaper haul) but we'll check out Amazon!

@davidrshorten It is satisfying. My brain just can't seem to retain that stuff. Nice going.

@davidrshorten Don't know if you're into Lake Street Dive, but I think the first track on their new album is pretty groovy: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXbtTUjlm1pH2m

"... we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven."
— Colossians 1:4‭-‬5 ESV

The hope of heaven is a deep well that I often pass up. It's been refreshing this week. #quiettime
