what happened at that moment?

“Life happened.  True, abundant life.  Life touched by a freedom and grace that those in the Old Testament only dreamed of.  See, the Resurrection—that moment when Jesus drew a breath in the dark of the tomb and his flesh and blood and bones reanimated—real flesh and bones, mind you—that moment changed the universe.  It was the climax of the long crescendo that marked the change of the song from minor to major.  Or from simple to complex.  Or from darkness to a spray of refracted light.”

-Andrew Peterson

woodland magic

I think mushrooms are so beautiful and just a little bit magical.  They remind me of Redwall-esque talking animals and fairy rings and Narnia and the love of God.  Because who else but a creative, beauty-loving God would create such gems of woodland perfection?

May I never lose the wonder,

The wonder of the cross.

May I see it like the first time

Standing as a sinner lost,

Undone by mercy and left speechless,

Watching wide eyed at the cost.

May I never lose the wonder,

The wonder of the cross.

hmm.

I’ve been experimenting with Polyvore in procrastinating thus far this semester.  Works like a charm.  My first creations:

Aren’t they fun?  Almost as much satisfaction as actually buying the clothes and none of the cost!
