The sculpture's caption is from Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

Visiting the Twin Cities, Drinking Coffee
I'm currently here:
Sara and I are visiting the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to attend a wedding in which Sara has a bridesmaid role. The Twin Cities are about 25-30 degrees cooler than Austin, so we're both enjoying a long-needed reprieve from studying, exam-taking, and sweating.

Luke 4:1-13 [Updated]
UPDATE: Finished! All we need to due now is turn it in by 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning!
| Three of the ordination exams are now complete, and the remaining exam, Bible Exegesis, is due this Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. For the exegesis exam, individuals can pick a selection from the Old or New Testament. This year, the Hebrew Old Testament selection is Hosea 5:16-6:6. The picture on the right shows a Greek text open to Luke chapter 4, from whence the exam's New Testament selection is taken, Luke 4:1-13. |  With all your heart Originally uploaded by jakebouma. |

Prayer Request
I'm safely back in Austin, Texas!
But there is no rest for the weary (yet). Beginning at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, the Presbyterian Church (USA) will be administering the four standard ordination exams required for all candidates for the office of Minister of Word and Sacrament. Those of us studying for exams are feeling a bit anxious, as you might expect. Words and prayers of encouragement would be deeply appreciated.

Trinity Redux
I hope to soon publish my thoughts on the recently completed General Assembly. Until then, here is an amusing editorial cartoon that appeared in the Tulsa World newspaper.

Grandpa Died in this Chair
| It's tough to visit your hometown and clear out the belongings of those you lived with for your entire life. Grandma's house is now largely vacant with the exception of some miscellany. This piece is particular tough to see. My grandfather died of colon cancer in this chair. Now it sits alone, watching over the empty house. It's as if Grandpa is still sitting there, making sure everything is okay. |  Grandpa Died in this Chair Originally uploaded by whatnext. |
