"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
There have been a lot of posts on Facebook recently about abortion, particular with the recent announcement by Bill and Melinda Gates. To close things up I’d just like to share a post by my friend Brock, entitled “Why I am Pro-Life”:
At the end of this week I’m going to be in Los Angeles for the funeral of my friend Thomas, who died in a motorbike accident last Tuesday. It seems fitting, therefore, that today’s Music Monday song should come from the title track of Audrey Assad’s latest album, “Death, be not proud”:
Death, be not proud, though the whole world fear you:
Mighty and dreadful you may seem,
But death, be not proud, for your pride has failed you.
You will not kill me.
Though you may dwell in plague and poison,
You’re a slave to fate and desperate men,
So death, if your sleep be the gates to Heaven, why your confidence?
When you will be no more, you will be no more,
When you will be no more.
Even death will die… x2
Death, be not proud x3
Cause even death will die.
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there who dress up like Batman

Life has been a little busy recently with lots of travelling so I’m rather behind with writing more substantial posts, sorry. I think that should change by the end of the month and I can start knocking out all the posts which are currently 90% complete.
Oh, and if you’re in Seattle this week, then please come to my Theology On Tap talk tomorrow on “Reading The Bible For All Its Worth”. I’m very excited
Have you ever noticed that no names are mentioned in the story of the prodigal son? There is a good reason. There’s not enough room for all who qualify
