Actually, my sabbatical will begin with the trip to Montana. I am thankful to hear that this illustration helps. I need to correct the mistake before I forget. Thanks for pointing it out.

I just read part of our assignment for next week -- the above blog -- and really enjoyed it. I honestly have trouble wrapping my mind around many of John Piper's principles, and this helps me with a big one. Thank you! I don't read your blog regularly (lack of time), but are you now on sabbatical? If so, may God richly bless you!! Kris Hart [A typo that I thought you might want to correct is in the paragraph about Grandma's time frame. At one point you wrote "my Grandma" when she's your mom. That could be momentarily confusing to someone who is reading carefully.] Chris,

I have to tell you that a day or two ago, Jamie and I were standing there together looking at the picture of your beautiful family. We pray that you will have a blessed Christmas. It's a little "brisk" here in Northern Illinois. Thanks so much Patricia.

It's also enough for me to decide that I want to come to Grandma Sharon's house, too! So, if a frazzled woman with cheap bows and frosting clining to her shows up, with pleading eyes, she flew in from Montana. Show mercy. Merry Christmas!
