Hiding in the Basement

Hiding in the Basement

I am home but I am not safe. I am hiding in the basement.

Upstairs is overrun with Vault guzzling, donut munching middle schoolers.

Some of the High School and Middle School kids are having a garage sale here at our house. They are giving all of the proceeds to a Christian homeless shelter. I did help (briefly) to move stuff around and lift a few clunky items. But standing up there all day saying “No mam. The price on that cornucopia basket is seventy-five cents and that price is firm” is just not my thing.

I have thirteen more mini-papers to write for my next class this month so I will stay down here and knock them out.

Down to twelve. I just finished one more paper.

Here is a quote from the essay by Stephen Lawson I was assigned:

“In a quest to be relevant, many preachers overly saturate their messages with contemporary sources, and present day references, to the point that they are jettisoning a thorough presentation of biblical truth. These “cutting edge” preachers are soft-peddling the Bible and the irony is, they are becoming the very thing they least seek to be – outdated. Truth be known, the Scripture is the most “cutting edge” book in existence.”
