some thoughts

So, it's been a while.
A lot has happened.
My baby son was born, Nathan, a joy close to my heart.
He turned 10 weeks old today, and in some ways, it feels like he is growing up so quickly! And yet, he is only 10 weeks old! So much to look forward to.

Currently I am musing on the difficulties of God's sovereignty and suffering. Can God be good and yet cause us to suffer?
After spending time reading some books, and studying the book of Job, I think the answer to that question is yes.
But our culture around us tends to do three things, as far as I have observed.
Deny God
Defy God
Depend on God

It has been interesting to explore these different options, and think through the implications of each position. But there is more work to be done.
Cathy just called, I get to bath Nathan tonight! Looking forward to that.
(From deep to shallow, my thoughts are just like a bath really!)
