Dan Seaborn spoke in church that morning, talking about how easily we see the "fixable" flaws in others while ignoring the flaws in our own lives that we ought to be working on. But how can we change? We need wisdom from God. But we might doubt it'll work because a) we're human, b) we believe God's let us down before, c) people have let us down, or d) when we ask God for help, we already know what the best solution is. (Or so we believe.) Wisdom (application of knowledge) can come from time along with God/the Bible, others (we need to be willing to ask for wisdom, and willing to listen), or from our observations of life.
Sarah and I got lunch from Subway. I got their limited-time pastrami. So, so good.
Tim was unsuccessful in his attempt to cut off part of his finger while slicing bread. Sometimes it's good to fail. :)
Later that evening, I attended the next meeting of a creation writing fellowship committee. Very interesting, though due at least to weather, only three total people showed up. Dave gave a presentation of his views of how chance possibly plays a part in God's design.
The roads were delightfully icy this morning, at least in Holland and Zeeland. I almost slid through a "T" intersection near our house. Glad I have anti-lock brakes!
