The Glory of Christ

I enjoy reading the puritians very much, but I have to read them very slowly, mainly due to the fact they were brilliant and I am less than brilliant. I am reading a book by John Owen right now about the Glory of Christ, and as I was reading yesterday I came across this statement and it hit me with its brutal honesty. Owen writes:

"Reckon in your minds, that this beholding of of the glory of Christ by beholding the glory of God, and all of his holy properties in him, is the greatest privelige of which, in this life, we can be made partakers...............Unless you value it, unless you esteem it as such a privelige, you will not enjoy it; and that which is not valued according to its worth is despised."

I know that often I dont esteem Christ in my heart the way that I should and reading this I realized that I esteem other things in his place and wonder at why my heart feels so empty.

Let us fill our hearts with the delight in the Glory of Christ, that we may see it for the privelige that it truly is!

I'm Shipping up to Boston

This is quite possibly one of my favorite songs, in fact it is my ringtone. Just so I can pass along some of my musical enjoyment to the masses. Its riverdance on steroids! For other DKM (dropkick murphys) fun check out "the state of massachussetts" video.

World Series Champs!

My boys did it! What is amazing is the kid that pitched yesterday Jon Lester was being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma this time last year, and this year he pitches his team to a World Series victory. On a different note, I think Jonathan Papelbon might just be becoming my baseball hero (he's from Jacksonville you know)!
