Just had a nice memory of how we'd get our cars going without turning the key back in the day. Push, and pop the clutch. Off we go.

Nice big summer storm right now. It's been a while since we had 'a real rip-snorter' -- as my mom calls them. Loud, bright, and wondrous.

Started preparations last night for the adult Sunday School coming up this weekend. We'll be covering WLC # 44:
Q. 44. How does Christ execute the office of a priest?
A. Christ executes the office of a priest, in his once offering himself a sacrifice without spot to God, to be a reconciliation for the sins of his people; and in making continual intercession for them.
...and I can hardly wait. Why? J. G. Vos puts it well:
"Christ's priestly office is the central and supremely important one of his three offices of prophet, priest, and king. While we must regard the whole of Christ's saving work as a unity, and should realize that no part of it is non-essential, still his work as priest is the very heart and center of his work as our Redeemer!"
Another source puts it like this:
"The beating heart of the Reformed doctrine, against all the [Roman, Arminian, Amyraldian, Socinian, Process-theological, and other] errors, is this: the eternal Son of God, by the Father's sovereign appointment and His own willing obedience, bore the exact curse and wrath due to his people, rendering a full, perfect, and finished satisfaction to divine justice, thereby definitively purchasing their redemption — and this for a particular people given to Him, whose salvation is therefore certain, not contingent on human cooperation (HC Q&A 37–44; BC Art. 20–22; WCF 8; Canons of Dort II)."
Amen!

Death is not 'a natural part of life.' It's an unwanted intrusion, an unnatural enemy.
Christ came to destroy death and restore his people to the IMAGO DEI we were created to be--living in eternal harmony with our Creator.
Do not accept death; it is not forever.

Today I cued up The Cure's album "wish" and noticed a few six-minute tracks.

Jesus is the promised seed of Eve, who crushed the head of the serpent.
Jesus is the promised offspring of Abraham.
Jesus is the "son called out of Egypt."
Jesus is the "greater son" of David.
Modern "Israel" is a distraction.
Search the Scriptures.
You'll see.

In case you missed it - remember that older gentleman who shouted about "if you know who created bitcoin you'd sell! *I* know who created it! And it's going to [censored] zero! ZERO!!?"
Yeah, remember him? His name is Dan Pena.
He later revealed his hIdDeN kNoWlEdGe: he said it was...wait for it...Putin (!), and it was "for the purpose of destabilizing the American economy."
😂🤣
When they say "that looks like AI" -- do you take it as a compliment or as an insult?
Steak.
Steak is 'what's on my mind'.
TIL Dolores O'Riordan, lead singer of The Cranberries and writer of "Zombie," died suddenly in 2018, the day before she was supposed to collaborate on a cover of the song with the L. A. metal band Bad Wolves. The Irish-born O'Riordan had written the song in protest against the violence perpetrated by the IRA during the "Troubles"--particularly when she saw that a 3-year old and young teen had been victims. "What's in your head, zombie?"
Bad Wolves went forward with the recording, lightly modifying the chorus to "with their tanks, and their bombs, and their guns, and their drones," and another to "it's the same old theme in 2018." When I heard that first edit--unexpectedly--it sure hit different.
