Ouch

Sun, moon, heaven, stars, water, air, none of these had swerved from their order, but knowing the Word as their Maker and their King, remained as they were made, Men alone having rejected what is good, have invented nothings instead of the truth, and have ascribed the honour due to God and the knowledge concerning Him to daemons and men in the form of stones. Athanasius, "On the Incarnation"

Ouch. Leave it to us to mess up a good thing. And everything knows it:

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
Romans 8:22 (NASB)

Good thing the rest of creation is not talking to us about this.

But wait. Look around at the world. Perhaps it is.

Look What Excites Me

This is a Levenger book bungee I got for Christmas. A book bungee is a wooden slat with an elastic band that serves as a bookmark that would basically require you to lose the book to lose your place in it. I have several. This one has holders for two writing implements. I am using it to hold a highlighter and a pen for my seminary reading. This book is On the Incarnation by Athanasius. Have not started it yet.

This is what excites me these days. Some would say that I am a nerd, or possibly a weenie. I prefer to be called the serious reader. Just ask the folks at Levenger.com.
