Sound the blasting bells of the Summer malaise

I just read this article from John Piper about the dangers of the New Reformed Movement. The article focuses on worshiping God and not intellectualism or other seedy idols.

It excites me to reorient myself to God and to his purposes in a time of the year (mid-Summer) that things can get really hairy as far as continuing forward with purpose (no, I am not referring in any way to any parts of Wheeler's anatomy when I use the word "hairy" to describe this mindset). Let it be for you what it needs to be, as my prayer in this season is for true purpose to be born from whatever circumstances meet us.

I love y'all.

  1. Favorite "Hairy Wheels" moment:

    Early one Whoppahouse Saturday morning, I'm poised on the couch reading with The Honorable Pastor Purcell M. Barrett doing electrical work next to the door. I hear deep footsteps bounding down the stairs, and it's none other than The Other Honorable Brian Roberts Wheeler sporting his suit-- "birthday" suit, that is.

    "Oh, sorry PB."
    "Uhh, hmmm, Mmmmm, no respec'!" grumbled our surly landlord in sight ALL of Brian's hair.
