Friday Fragments 10//24/2014

Happy to be in Louisville, KY for the weekend. Hope your weekend is good too!

• I read Psalm 124 this week. It is both humbling and confidence inspiring. You should read it too (it's short), but the gist of it is that if it were not for the Lord, we wouldn't make it. That's humbling because it acknowledges our weakness and inability. But is confidence building because the Lord is with us. 124:8 "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
• Is adoption ordinary or extraordinary? Yes. Read about my new nieces and you'll see why.
• Kindle Deal - At GBC last week we considered the role of church members. Fittingly, What is a Healthy Church Member by Thabiti Anyabwile is available for just $.99. You can also get Nine Marks of a Health Church by Mark Dever for $1.99. Going Public is a great read for Christians who choose public school for their kids; $2.99. 

Your battle may not end today, and neither will God's sustaining grace.
