Traveling Light: A Good One

This past week/weekend was a good one. Filled with baseball, friends, songs of praise and celebration, bluegrass, lemonade, bare feet in the water, one dirty, wet dog, a little bike ride, and a lot of late nights, the only word to describe it is: good.

It was also a week full of reflection on the willing sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World. I've been reading this book called, Knowing God by J.I. Packer and he has this chapter called "The Love of God" that I was reading through last week. One of my favorite excerpts from that chapter is this:

So the love of God who is spirit is no fitful, fluctuating thing, as human love is, nor is it a mere impotent longing for things that may never be; it is, rather a spontaneous determination of God's whole being in an attitude of benevolence and benefaction, an attitude freely chosen and firmly fixed.

I think that "firmly fixed" phrase at the end is my favorite. What freedom there is in the firmly fixed love of Christ!

Below are pictures and a little video from the past week. Enjoy.

Gooooooo Tigers!
