“this apt is how we start 30 yrs ago at ann arbor” - Dad
Some of you know I’m a fan of the University of Michigan Wolverines.  Some of you don’t.  And when these people ask why I am a fan, wondering (sometimes mockingly) how a boy who grew up in Poughkeepsie and then a few years in Korea could have any sort of connection to the midwest, this is why.  I remember the Saturdays in the first home I remember living in, watching Saturday games on tv.  I remember the 1997 season, the season of Griese, of Woodson, of perfection.  I remember the pull-over Wolverines winter jacket, the poster that hung on my bedroom door.  If you asked me as a boy why I liked the Wolverines, I wouldn’t have been able to give you stats or plays, cause I didn’t have the knowledge (nor the internet) to give you that information.  The only thing I could respond with was “that my dad went there.”  And now, some years later, even with all of those factoids I’ve learned, my response is still the same.  I will always be a fan of the Wolverines.  But that’s only because I was a fan of my dad first.

“What is God’s amazing grace? It’s the outstretched love of Jesus whose agonizing death and victorious resurrection saves us from who we really are—not from who we think we are.”

Good luck.  Personally, I hope you fail, and fail miserably.

I’m so glad I was home when I saw this.

Change

Do we really change?  I used to think that God would eventually get rid of my sins, let me shed them like a cocoon and I would emerge as the new and improved butterfly.  And though I’ve inevitably (and thankfully) grown throughout the years and I can see the change that God has done in me, I’ve come to realize that there are some sins that I cannot shake no matter how hard I try.  But I realize now that I’m not supposed to shake it; I’m supposed to fight it.  I may overcome it tomorrow, or I may struggle with it until the day I die, but the point is that I will never be perfect until I am with God on that final day.  Thus, while I wait, I am to persevere and fight these sins, because through battle I take one step closer to God, and through struggle God’s grace becomes ever more known.

I guess this is what a thorn is supposed to feel like.
