Times have been busy lately in my neck of the woods. School is kicking into high gear, and both of my jobs are keeping me hopping. I’m enjoying the jobs and each of my classes is enjoyable in a unique way, but I’m running on very little sleep and rest most days. [...]
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. - Genesis 3:6, NASB

Reflecting on mystery this past week has left me awed and very humbled. I realize that I am entirely unable to write anything that does adequate justice to God. He is far beyond me, and His majesty far exceeds anything I could adequately convey. Ours is a God that surpasses all understanding, [...]
