“God could quite justly have abandoned us to our fate.
He could have left us alone to reap the fruit of our wrongdoing
and to perish in our sins.
It is what we deserved.
But He did not.

Because he loved us,
He came after us in Christ.
He pursued us even to the desolate anguish of the cross,
where he bore our
sin,
guilt,
judgment,
and death.

It takes a hard and stony heart to remain unchanged
by love like that.
It is more than love.
Its proper name is ‘grace,’
which is love to the undeserving.

–John Stott

Still here. . . still living, breathing, thinking, doing. . .

School is taking a lot of time and energy. For me, Hubby and the kids.

When we’re not busy with our respective learning / teaching responsibilities, it’s amazing how little time is left! Still involved with Hope, ThinkTank, and YCS.

And, embarrassingly, it’s sooo much quicker and easier to update facebook or twitter when I’m tired and distracted. Here at TulipGirl, I feel obligated to be thoughtful. Or at least, do more than throw up a link that caught my eye (like I do elsenet.)

But the kids are amazingly interesting, Hubby is doing great with teaching and less great healthwise, and I vacillate between okay and questioning. . . God is faithful. God is good.

I got to teach the pre-K / K class for Sunday School this week. It was so sweet. Nature walk and talking about God the Creator and reviewing catechism questions and singing “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” It is hard for me to believe my boys have left that age far behind.
