Just noticed that Bob at Mr. Standfast has a new blog called Gratitude and Hoopla. He'll be posting there primarily, although he's not decided whether Mr. Standfast will continue to get bloggage. I've got them both on the bloogroll.

Yesterday I heard a preacher say, "The party's on!" Yes, that's about right. The party's on. I'm no cockeyed optimist when it comes to this life, this world, but, well, I know the hope (the celebration) to which I've been called. The end, the destination, is a party. The joy then will be complete. Perfect. Not marred by sin, tears, dissipation. So . . . I'm already excited. If it looks and sounds like pure foolishness to you, oh well. I'm just letting you know, this is what I'm about. this is where I'm at. This is why it's called "Gratitude & Hoopla."
