My new favorite writing tool on the Mac. No formatting, but for getting thoughts out of my head, I haven’t been this happy in a long time.

![A couple at our church here in MPLS did this: “Well, there is good news and bad news about our Christmas decorations. The good news is that Hale truly outdid himself this year. The bad news is that we had to take the decorations down after only two days. We had people come screaming up to the house. But two things made us take it down. First, the cops advised us that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the ladder and almost killed herself putting it against the house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top. (She was not happy.) She was one of many people who attempted to do that. Our yard couldn’t take it either. We have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up the front yard. I think Hale made ‘him’ too real. But it was fun while it lasted.”

He Has Therefore Brought Them Hope
“One last point. Thomas Merton wrote once that the history of the world is led by great saints and great sinners. Let all the young people glancing at this post take heed. I am not young anymore, and it has taken me many years just to acquire sufficient wisdom to appreciate, as from afar, the goodness and the saintly courage of that young quarterback. Imagine, just imagine, if there were a hundred such, or a thousand. Imagine young men and women, with the beauty and the ardor of Christian faith, touching a college, a school, a street, a home. Merton recalled World War II and wondered whether — and he wasn’t being arrogant; his point was that all Christians should have wondered the same thing — it might have been averted if only he had been holier. You Christians who are young, never understimate the power of the goodness that Jesus has planted in you, to bring hope to souls in despair, and light into a dark and silly world.”
“ The highest authority is Scripture alone, but not a Scripture that is alone. Scripture is the only source of revelation needed for Christian faith and life, but it is not the only thing needed for Christian faith and life. ”
» Timothy Ward, Words of Life, 147
“ Discipleship is no exception to the rule that in all things Christ is pre-eminent. Grace does not fall away when we begin to talk of obedience to the call to be followers of Jesus, as if the divine conclusion were simply an initial impulse or cause, propelling us into autonomous action. The human venture of obedient discipleship, both in its beginning and in its continuation, is wholly enclosed by one fact: Jesus Christ is in our place. He has once for all replaced our corruption and disobedience by his pure embrace of the Father’s will; as substitute, representative and head of the human race, he has achieved our rescue and done what our ruined humanity cannot do: he has rendered obedience to God. If there is a corresponding human obedience—if James, John, and all the others, including we ourselves, do indeed obey his call and follow him—it is not in order to secure fellowship with God simply by fulfilling some command. It is because this movement and direction is one which has already been established in Jesus; what remains, therefore, is only that it be echoed, filled out and attested in our own obedience. To obey Jesus’ command is to follow him; it is not to start a fresh movement but to enter into one which precedes us and catches us up into itself. ”
