Destruction from the Almighty – Mike Leake looks at that amazing volcano video and reflects on it a little bit. “The Hebrew word for destruction is shadad whereas the Hebrew word for the Almighty is El Shaddai.

Life’s Too Short – Life is too short for all of that email.

Wisdom and Sabbath Rest – There are some good ideas about rest in this article (though the formatting gets a little bit messed up as you make your way down).

Repentance is the tear of love, dropping from the eye of faith, when it fixes on Christ crucified.

—Gorham Abbott
