At a forum where I’m a regular participant, someone started a thread with the title, “New book out in defense of Federal Vision Theology!”, and inside is just an image of the cover of this book.
And I am so angry about it. It really just makes me want to scream. I’m not going to bother replying it to it, but I almost wish I didn’t think most of the FV stuff was right, so that I could at least point out the lie implied by the thread. But, agreeing with FV theology, I would only be scoffed at if I pointed out the errors.
But really… it makes me very angry.
Turns out it’s a joke from the puritanboard. I’m not surprised.
Today is Halloween. And also Reformation Day. Two exciting and worthwhile things to celebrate, but not the biggies in our household. No… Most Important Of All, it is also Megan’s Birthday.
So Happy Birthday to my beautiful, champion pie baking, three-legged race winning, apple bobbing wife!
I thank God for blessing me so greatly.
In the midst of an impressive and entertaining post, Matt had this comment,
Unbelievers getting married is like watching small children play “house†or “storeâ€. They see grownups doing it, and they try to imitate, but they don’t have a clue about what it means to actually run a household or a store. They’re just going through the motions because “that’s what people doâ€.
Nice observation.

Of Minor Prophets And Their Prostitute Wives
Pedro the Lion
All the time you were burning my letters
You were only acting the part
You think without me you’ll get on much better
But you don’t even know your own heart.
Come home darlin’, come home quickly
Come home darlin’, all is forgiven
So come home quickly
I treated you as if you were a princess
You treated me like a cop
I gave you boundries to save you from certain death
Dangling from the end of your rope
Come home darlin’, come home quickly
Come home darlin’, all is forgiven
So come home quickly
But you’re still playin’
for a love you’ll never find
outside these arms of mine
The whole town is one step behind you
With the hangman on call
They’ve got the judge and you’re convicted without a plea
But darlin’ they will listen to me
Darlin’ they will listen to me
Darlin’ they will listen to me
When my children get whiny, we (lovingly) call them Tendafoot (you know, the two-legged elephant that could power a small city with his whining?). They then laugh at themselves, and carry on. Then we sing the Lil’ Brudder song.
So, anyhow, the other night we had an episode of this. Then it was over, and we all went about our ways (I was making cookies, Megan was doing something with Fiona, and the girls were tromping around the house taking care of their businesses).
Megan sang ‘Here comes Peter Cottontail…‘. Geneva heard this, got it in her head, and adapted it to what she was thinking… ‘Here comes little FooFoo‘[1]. Ashley, in turn, continued with ‘she’s only got one leg‘.
Ah… such funny little children.
[1]FooFoo is a nickname we have for Fiona
Bringing Beauty and Truth Into Culture by Ed Eubanks.
Ed was the Youth Pastor at the PCA church in Roanoke that we attended for a while. Me and him even played a few songs together at a youth function. He’s got a blog, too.
Yesterday I downloaded the Trogdor song, and played it several times. The girls loved it, and danced in circles. Even Fiona bopped her little head to the rhythm.
I pulled out the video camera, but nothing good came out of it. Just know that my children have proper respect.
The entire family then spent ten or so minutes watching various toons. Good times.
Anne Rice has come (back) to The Faith. Pretty cool. Her new book looks interesting, if nothing else.

I just watched the new Narnia trailer, and, as I feared, I am not impressed with the talking animals.
Other than that, it looks to be an amazing movie.
