Yesterday was a busy day for me, with my coworker up & quitting out of nowhere the day before.
I did spend a little time reading some stuff here and there from Mark Driscoll and Tim Keller, really hammering home the reality of Hell (in conjunction with Rob Bell's book being released, I suspect)
I respect both those guys, but nothing tires me out more than dogmatic pissing matches. Except maybe the stairmill.
Yesterday I needed more...quiet time and renewing than foundation-building, I guess. :)
I didn't get a lot of today's scripture though I think I have a sense of what it's saying. Seems like Paul's perspective is a sort of duality to existence now and here on Earth and eternity. When he talks about being "unclothed" in the "tent" (which I take to mean, Earthly existence) versus being "clothed with our heavenly dwelling", I'm not sure if he means like, he's vulnerable (to sin? temptation?) while being here on Earth versus having no such concerns once he's in Heaven?
Or maybe he's just talking about like, the comfort of being in the place you're supposed to be (his real home, Heaven...) versus just the weary traveler's good-enough-getting-by-existence until he gets home.
Verse 10, my study bible says that even Christians will be audited for their good/evil deeds. So, I guess...try to keep the naughty list kinda short? I mean, if you're trying to spend your time focused on Christ and your mind and your spirit geared towards him; I'd imagine it'd be harder to sin regardless...
Anyways, I got like 16 lbs of pork shoulder to check on so... :)
