i want to refute this, but cant.

I always take advantage of snow to see the desire paths across my property. this is the mailman's daily route.

Ordered a homiletics book that I discovered on a blog review from (i think) doug wilson 12ish years ago. I had gifted my original copy, as I tend to do with my favorite books. The Homiletical Plot really coincided with my study of Luther's theology of preaching forgiveness of sins. Preaching "application" was losing its luster. Book should be here tomorrow, hope it holds up to my fond memories. Now i just need to find somewhere to preach. Small problem.

Even freezing cold aint stopping the birds this year.

Took me 18 months but finally got the office hibiscus to bloom.

Craziest thrift outlet find of all time -- somebody clearly thought this was a toy. I paid $2 / lb for this Iver Johnson 1900s revolver. My gun guy is cleaning it up for me.

These sunrises just rule.
