Jesus Creed

In college I read Francis Schaeffer, about everything he had written. I remember his talking about “suppressing the truth” from Romans 1:18, and I remember grieving over such a condition on the part of fellow Eikons. What does it mean, this “suppressing the truth”? What do you think?

Grant, O Lord, that the course of this world may be peaceably governed by your providence; and that your Church may joyfully serve you in confidence and serenity; through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Kris and I went to the movie of the DaVinci Code tonight. I’m not a movie critic, nor do I understand all the stuff that movie critics think about, but the story plot was just OK for me. We both thought Tom Hanks and the French lady were fine; they made Silas a real creep,…

Here is a reality so profoundly deep to adoptive parents that we can hardly take it in. Thanks to Dawn Husnick. A time most of us simply cannot even imagine.
