I unfortunately read this post late last night. There was not a bottle of wine in the house so that I could toast God’s glory with good things here. I did have some good beer, so I contextualized. God is good.

Hi Rosie,

We’re not all alums, but many of us are! Hope you’re well :-)

Hi Jeff, yes, perhaps it would have been better to leave out the ‘for friends.’ I wasn’t trying to make a point about ordering wine for others. My thinking was more along the lines of, ‘next time you get a bottle of wine out’ (for whatever reason!)… Hope that helps!

Thanks for your comment,

Madi

Madi, such a good point that God’s glory is connected to good things here on earth. Good word to remember to see His goodness in earthy things. Indeed His creations is good and very good.

But ordering a bottle…for friends? I was expecting to just read, “when you order a bottle.” However, I see the parallel ordering for friends makes to John 2, and perhaps that’s more the point: the giving of good things to others as an overflow from what He has given us.

Hey Rene,
just read this article in full today – which is funny timing as I just delivered an hour’s presentation on the topic of the “big story” with year 12 students – and drew on Joseph Campbell … brilliant post. Perhaps you’ve come across this J. R. R. Tolkien quote (author of Lord of the Rings) – sums it up well:

“The Gospels contain a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of other stories. But this story has entered history and the primary world. This story is supreme. This story is true.” :)

I liked what David wrote above. I, too, am looking forward to my next game of hide and seek with my children! And I suspect that these insights will trickle their way into a sermon someday… Thank you! ~Stanley

Thank you for the vote of confidence Erik! And, just so you know, the footsteps in the snow were not leading in your direction…

at 525 we appreciate the announcements that there are big dogs here and they are aware of two legged nuisances ;-) this neighborhood is getting worse, and we recently renewed our contract with our alarm company
