I found a way.

It should be obvious by now that this hasn't turned out to be much of a blogspot… more of a fogspot (which describes my head most days). I can’t believe it has been two months, since I have been here. I will blame it on Latin, which must be finished by the end of the semester. O yeah, and that Van Til paper that isn’t likely to write itself.

At any rate, I have been trying to find a way to resurface here. Today, I am mapping out my sermon schedule on the parables of Jesus for the next few months. I am planning to have long-time friend and fellow Presbyter, Rev. Kevin Twit, preach for us one Sunday in the near future. Kevin is the RUF campus minister at Belmont here in Nashville. We have known each other for years, and he was a great encourager to me, as I was coming into the doctrines of grace, way back in 1989/90. I went to his website today, to see what he was up to, as well as, to e-mail him. The first thing that caught my attention, however, was this link http://homepage.mac.com/kevintwit/iMovieTheater33.html. It is a home-movie chronicling his family’s recent adoption of Amelia, a Chinese toddler girl.

So, click on over from my fogspot, and view this movie. Make sure your speakers are on. I love that picture of Kevin playing guitar for some Chinese girls. There is a note there indicating you will need a fast connection, as the movie is ten minutes long. You will need more than a fast connection. You will need about a half a box of Kleenex!

The obvious path from the images in this home-movie to Romans ch. 8 is both unavoidable and delightful. So, this is something of what it is like? Could it be that our Father gets the same gush when he sees all his adopted daughters and sons? Could it be that we are just as beautiful and irresistible to him? Could it be that our own “Biggest Brother,” Jesus, stands proudly by each new son and daughter, as we are drawn into his Father’s house?

Yeah, I think it must be.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow…
