Mother Dearest

My mom came in yesterday to help us get ready for the wedding. This morning we woke up at 6:30, made a pot of coffee, and sat on the couch talking about the fun things we always talk about... the beauty of the Old Testament narrative... the dynamic, personal nature of God... contextualizing John 6, Ephesians 1, and Romans 9... the necessity of bringing to life the stories of the Bible in order to understand the heart, character and nature of God... and as we mulled over theological issues, we reminisced and re-analyzed snippets of our lives, relating them to present occurences. As Tom would say, we talked about the same old things we always talk about... but somehow they are always new to us. And so much fun. I love my mother.
