Spring

My life has been fairly uneventful lately. A couple weeks ago two friends and I went to Kansas City to attend a concert. It was a blast. It had been way too long since we had done anything like that and way too long since the last time I was able to get out of town. On the way back we had car trouble. It was frustrating and funny at the same time. Somehow we managed to get stuck on the wrong side of town. There was an older guy who insisted that we needed to have the car jumped. We knew that wasn't the problem, but he kept insisting so it seemed to be easier to let him try than it was to get him to leave. Eventually we made it home.

I died my hair red that weekend. I will have to get a picture soon so I can show the difference. The funny thing is that my new color looks more natural than my real color.

This week is spring break. I don't really get much of a break, but I do have a little more variety to my schedule. The main thing I appreciate is the warmer weather. This last week I have jogged more than I did all winter and that seriously isn't much. The only down side to warmer weather is that I now need to get out into my yard and clean it up. I didn't get all the leaves raked last fall and now I have a bunch of branches to add to the piles. Hopefully the ground will dry out soon so it won't be so muddy.

I'm currently reading What is Reformed Theology? by RC Sproll. I am discovering that I agree with most of what I understand. Theology is never an easy read. If it is, the book probably isn't worth reading in the first place. So it is possible that I disagree more than I realize, but I just don't quite understand what he is really saying due to my own lack rather than poor writing. The main thing that I disagree with is in regard to double predestination. Sproul seems to be saying that if one believes in predestination, then by default they should believe double predestination. After reading the section in the book on this, I still don't agree. I think that there is a difference between someone being actively condemned by God because God actively choses to condemn them and someone being condemned because they weren't chosen for salvation. Deep reading and deep thinking. Who can know God's thoughts?
