The best commercial I have seen in a long time:
The Sports Center guys in line behind Arnold Palmer making an Arnold Palmer.
The best book on parenting teenagers:
Age of Opportunity by Paul David Tripp
The best funny thing that happened yesterday:
A certain youth pastor dropped “belated Christmas presents” at our house. One for each of us. Wrapped and labeled so nicely! But they were mostly just our own stuff that my sons had left at his house. Amy’s was a towel from the RBC kitchen. Nice.
The best thing I read from a commentary during my Exodus study yesterday:
When we think of application, we tend to think of ourselves as the immovable point and the Old Testament as something that has to be brought into our lives. We think that it has to speak to our circumstances without always considering whether it is our particular circumstances that the Bible is designed to speak to.
There is another way of thinking about application. The book of Exodus is not waiting there for us to bring it into our world. Rather, it is standing there defining what our world should look like and then inviting us to enter that world. Who we are and what we are experiencing should not always be the starting point for thinking about how the Old Testament relates to us. (Peter Enns)
The best palindrome I have ever seen:
Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog.
