Greeted by the Waning Crescent

My view from the landing this morning was lovely.

The Flow of Life

Micro forest

Found this on the way to worship gathering this morning. All glory to the Creator!

Nature's morning composition

Found a lovely bit of dew on a spiderweb on a lawn.

It was a beauty.

Can I just stay here? (Mood on April 15, 2019)

Sometimes, it's good to sit and think. Coffee helps.

Persistent Life (from back in 2011)

Can't remember where this was taken, but this so clearly visualizes the persistence of life. Life has value, and it knows it.

Fog shrouded sunrise

A light fog blankets the neighborhood.

The sun breaks morning with orange glow.

Not quite sunrise

There are very few things I like about daylight saving time. This is the biggest: sunrise on the road.

Unfiltered Refraction

I love how light is like magic.

Full moon behind clouds

In a nearly clear sky, the moon hides.

After days of rain, the sun

Reflective Briefs upon Reading 'On the Incarnation' by Athanasius

On the Incarnation by Athanasius

Chapter 1. The incarnation of the Logos, who is the means of creation and salvation, saves trusting humanity from our corruption of Imago Dei and toward by-salvation Imago Christi.

Chapter 2. The incarnation fully satisfied divine justice and glory as well as humanity's desperate need by substituting the Logos' all sufficient sacrifice for our own wholly insufficient one.

Chapter 3. In the incarnation, the Logos revealed God in a way that our sin-stained souls could perceive and killed the death and corruption that dulled.

Chapter 4. The death of the incarnate Logos, along with his resurrection, was public evidence of his full humanity and divinity. Even more, it worked to remove the curse, make one people of God, clear the air of its false prince, and abolish death and corruption.

Chapter 5. The incarnation brought clear evidence of God, his character, and his power into the sensory realm. This evidence is still perceivable in his people.

Chapter 6. The Tanakh foretells the God-Man, the timing of his coming, the means and manner of his death, and the results of his work.

Chapter 7. The Logos is always engaged in his creation, at least through Providence. The incarnation is deeper, bringing recognition of the divine, help and healing, and eternal undeceiving.

Chapter 8. Jesus came to transform persons and defeat false worldviews using common speech and persons. We are the common.

John 1:14 (ESV): And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Shrouded Sun

For a moment, the sun peaks out. Though still shrouded, it's light fills the space and by it we see.
