Hey there! Heard about this game when looking up 2 player Story Games, is it still available to try out?

p.s. The movie The Mission severely traumatized me as a kid, but I enjoyed reading your post about it! (My flashbacks weren’t too bad!)

Thanks!

Getting 8 hours of sleep a night is essential to healthy brain functioning. You actually accumulate a deficit if you sleep less. More than any of the other things you mentioned, diet, exercise, etc., getting enough sleep is at the top of the list for maintaining health.

Love it. Not the fatigue part, obviously – but the rest part. Rest is good. There’s a season to fight, and a season to return home, sit by the hearth and stare into the flames.

Praying that you find rest…

Comment on A quick thought on immanence and transcendence by rcjr

Brother,
Though we all know this, we don’t diminish the one to get more of the other. The glory of the gospel is that the One who is exalted and lifted up, lifts us up to Him, so that we are near. Remember that in answer to Moses’ question, “Whom shall I say has sent me?” the answer is both, “I am that I am” and “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There are each His name. In the incarnation He became immanent to us. I thte resurrection, He lifts us up to the heavenly places, making us immanently transcendent with Him

Thank you for the reminder. Jim Wallace at PleaseConvinceMe.com was talking about this recently. This is one of the amazing things about God. He is both so far above and beyond us and at the same time intimately near to us, residing within us even.

Quick counter-thought… maybe that’s what the parts of the trinity are for. Jesus is the one who’s supposed to ‘get’ us – The whole ‘God made flesh’ thing – Jesus, who came to serve the sinners. I think historical Christianity, if anything, erred on the side of ‘transcending’ Jesus a little too high so that we didn’t see him as ‘man’ anymore. (Personally, I don’t think they did, since he’s still meant as our King and Saviour) But I think their perception of God is pretty spot-on.

I think God… specifically God the father (and i guess the Holy Ghost) are specifically transcendent. And should be. They’re supposed to remind us 1) of God’s being far above us in terms of omnipotence and 2) That we as sinners have specifically been separated from him… which SHOULD feel lonely.. isolating.. and ultimately guilty. Isn’t that what is supposed to spur us to action and repentance?

I think that imagining God as somebody who can spiritually ‘give me a hug’, demeans the true state of his omnipotence and glory.

Thank you for sharing, Seth. It’s been a tired day of feelings of failure and doubt and I really needed to hear this.

Parables are beautiful gifts. And when we get to live them, it’s even better.

I’m glad you got lost in the woods. Just don’t, you know, make a habit of it.

I love that quote! I think I will have to get that book and see what else he says.
