Musings

It just struck me as I typed the title of this post, "Musings" that it indicates the results of "thinking or pondering". So our good English word "amuse" means "without thought or pondering" because the prefix a- means "without." (Latin was one of the more worthwhile classes I took in high school...) Since our culture places such high value on amusement I can only surmise that it is a culture that prefers to avoid thought-full life, devoid of meaningful exchanges. Pity.

But today I am pondering words attributed to Jerry Bridges, that "my best days are not beyond the need of grace, and my worst days are not beyond the reach of grace." That's good news. There is simply nothing I can add to make his words better.
