Also, I was booked to preach on Matthew 5:21-26 at my church this Sunday -- the passage where Jesus connects murder to anger and rhetoric and gives a call prioritizing reconciliation to ceremonies of worship. I had written the sermon before the tragedy in Arizona and the ensuing discussion about just such a connection, but did feel compelled to touch on current events in order to draw out the point. I don't usually like to post my sermons (because I tend to think of preaching as a homiletic event meant for a certain place and time and people rather than a static document), but will post the manuscript to this one right here on Sunday morning for all the shut ins out there.
All that to say: Here's to the Bible. I have found these words to be alive.

Hi John,
Sarah and I miss having you around. I hope all is well.
As a shut-in I appreciate it.
Hey Jordan, we miss the two of you as well. you still in Caronport?
Tanti: I hadn't even thought of the fact that you literally are a shut in right now! Hopefully you caught the Jim Robson link.
