A Hobby
I haven't blogged in quite a while. This semester has been nuts.
But I did get a hobby: photography.
It's an expensive hobby, so I'm starting slow. I've been saving for some time and bought a Canon Rebel EOS T2i. Nothing crazy.
I am very excited. Here are a few pics I snapped within the last week:

Only Your Blood is Enough
From Sojourn Music, Over the Grave, "Only Your Blood is Enough"
No bleeding bird, no bleeding beast
No hyssop branch, no priest;
No running brook, no flood, no sea
Can wash away this stain from me.
For only your blood is enough to cover my sin;
For only your blood is enough to cover me.

Beacuase the Voices Where Pretty Good
That's not a genuine typo in the title. Just watch the video. You'll see.

Yeah. No thanks. Who are we going to buy anyway? The Presbyterians?

Resolved: Never Own a Moleskine
Canada.com reports on the Moleskine cult:
"What we're finding is that once people buy one, they get hooked so they keep coming back to buy more in different styles," says Suzan Roerich, the category director for paper at Indigo. "We introduced agendas this fall, and we sold out very quickly. It was fantastic. Unfortunately, we couldn't get any more."
It sounds like a narcotic. Seriously.
You can read the whole article here.

Where a Fool Looks for Logic
Taken from O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Pete: You miserable little snake! You stole from my kin!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Who was fixin' to betray us.
Pete: You didn't know that at the time.
Ulysses Everett McGill: So I borrowed it until I did know.
Pete: That don't make no sense!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

Created, Bought, Indwelled
Our body has not only been created by God and will one day be resurrected by him, but it has been bought by Christ's blood and is indwelled by his Spirit. Thus it belongs to God three times over, by creation, redemption and indwelling. How then, since it does not belong to us, can we misuse it? Instead, we honor God with it, by obedience and self-control. Bought by Christ, we have no business to become the slave of anybody or anything else. Once we were the slaves of sin; now we are the slaves of Christ, and his service is the true freedom.
-John Stott, The Cross of Christ
