Here is the place of thought unconstrained by the clock of Sunday Mornings, unrestrained by the rigors of 'orthodoxy,' and untamed by the banks of the river. Here are thoughts: timeless, 'un'-Orthodox, and wild. Here I can explore, hunt, investigate and challenge. Here there are no itchy ears, no crossed arms, no sleepy eyes. Here the journey is chronicled and the House explored. Thanks for stopping by for a swim. Enjoy my view for a while.
Rainbow
One of my most favorite things in all of Creation
God in the Wasteland
"The ideals of Christ's kingdom are realized too little in the world, his name acknowledged too infrequently, and his truth believed and obeyed to inadequately. But if we profess that God is sovereign in his providence, are we unreasonable to think that he is presently resolving this contradiction between what is and what should be?"--David Wells, God in the Wasteland, 181
Under this Rock
Eventually, I'll put some words here too. For now, I'm just peaking out from under this rock, watching as all the flotsam floats by. Life in an aquarium is rough sometimes.
Some Flowers
Found these in a cemetary

The Proclamation of the Church
"But in the Cross and resurrection, the entire spiritual order was upended, his victory reached into and across the universe, and saving grace is now personalized in him. The world with all of its pleasures, power and comforts, is fading away, the pall of divine judgment hangs over it, a new order has arisen in Christ, and only in this new order can be found meaning, hope, and acceptance with God. It is truth, not private sprituality that apostolic Christianity was about. It was Christ, not the self as means of access into the sacred. It was Christ, with all of his painful demands of obedience, not comfortable country clubs that early Christianity was about. It was what God had done in space and time when the world was stood on its head that was its preoccupation, not the multiplication of programs, strobe lights, and slick drama. Images we may want, entertainment we may desire, but it is the proclamation of Christ crucified and risen that is the Church's truth to tell."--David Wells, Above All Earthly Pow'rs, 231-232
From the Fishbowl
- Dan Goldfinch/Don Goldfish
- I am a preacher. This is not only what I do, it is who I am. I write as another way to preach. I love exploring the Bible and sharing what I learn. I would be lost without books, and hopeless without Jesus. My goal is out of this world.

Like Sand in a Fishbowl
Eventually, I'll put something here that you might be interested in reading. For now, it's just holding space for me. Thanks.
"But what was done by the Son of God is, and He knew it to be, beyond all measure of speech or thought, above anything that God's children can do to each other of weal or woe."--PT Forsyth, The Justification of God, 126
