Dear Friend,
It feels like a good time to revive my "Classics & the Bible" blog with a new post. I've written about a biblical reference which is tossed out with sarcasm by Stephan Arkadyevich to Konstantin Levin as they ride in a carriage through Moscow on their way to visit Anna Karenina. Unpacking three short words was quite an interesting experience! You can read the post here.
Also, I recently wrote another guest piece for my friend Tim Fall's blog -- "Racial Reconcilation: One Ordination Day at a Time."
Out of all the preachers I greeted that day, there was one face which stood out above the rest. I remember him as taller than everyone else, but maybe he only appeared to be. He was gray and distinguished, certainly the oldest man in attendance. I placed my young white hand in his ancient brown one, a small dove in a large nest. His eyes were tender like the eyes of Christ. I felt as if he saw into me. Under the weight of his gaze my eyes moistened.
Hope your Sunday is worshipful and restful.
Blessings!
Adriana
I enjoyed the reflection on Anna Karenina a lot, Adriana. Thanks too for writing that guest post for my place. It is a wonderful testimony to what God accomplishes with a kind word.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy to post something on one of my favorite blogs. Thank you, Tim!
DeleteWonderful your writing. I just say,"The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to do three things. He came to have my past forgiven, you get a purpose for living and a home in Heaven." Happy X-Mas!!
