I’m at my sister’s new house for the purpose of helping with before and after baby needs and one of the first things I did was get sick.  The one claim to helpfulness I have is that I haven’t gotten anyone else sick yet.  Other than that I’ve been lying in bed with just enough energy to move about now and then before collapsing back in bed.  Today I have enough energy to sit up for longer than a meager meal and thought I’d use the time to catch up a bit with blogging.  Up until this sickness I’ve been living this glorious live God has given me rather than blogging, so apologies to those who miss hearing from me, but my web-life has nearly disappeared as I’ve lived real-life.

Just a quick post to say that I am alive and well and enjoying my vacation.  Obviously I've taken a vacation from just about everything, and it's been so long I almost forgot how to create a post.  Unfortunately, I am not sure when I will sit down to catch up, but for now I'll leave you with food for thought.  This Christianity Today article on Living Leviticus is worth a read.  I happen to be in Leviticus now so it was a timely reminder that Leviticus holds important revelations of God's character.  I'll tease you with two quotes from the article.

"[Often w]e take God's grace for granted. Because holiness can be difficult, we default to simply admitting we're miserable sinners, get our grace, and then get on with living our lives the way we were going to live them anyway."

"The Law's purpose was never to save anybody. Rather, its purpose was to show saved people how to live a saved life."
