Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph. 1:3)

In studying I came across Ephesians 1. In Christ we are not just blessed, but chosen, predestined, adopted, accepted, redeemed, forgiven, enlightened, given an inheritance, sealed, and assured (verses 3-14)*. I am thinking that this would be worth going over more deeply in my quiet times, and Ephesians is fast becoming the book for me lately. And to never forget what Christ did, is doing, and will do in our lives.

Wow, since the last posting. My wife and I moved to Dallas, gave birth, and are finishing up a semester. Wow. (Thanks for reading).

Having a baby really is a blessing. She had some problems at first, perhaps due to coming early...but through this experience, we are learning to pray and rely on the Lord.
