In the long term I think being a preacher, missionary, or leading a Bible study group in many ways is easier. There is a certain spiritual glamour in doing it, and what we should be doing each day is easier to discern, more black and white, not so grey. It is often hard to get Christians to see that God is willing not just to use men and women in ministry, but in law, in medicine, in business, in the arts. This is the great shortfall today.—Quoted in Timothy Keller, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work (New York: Penguin, 2012), 115.
Crumbs fallen from the table of the King—from his Word, his workmen, and his world.

The Great Shortfall Today

Back to Blogging (Semi-Regularly)
So I'm going to go ahead and start blogging again. At least some. It's been good to take a break from the blog and many other things over the past year, during which time the Wencels have had our hands full.
However, I do not intend to blog with any regularity. And I do not intend to post much original thinking of my own. No time for that. But I will post from time to time some things I'm reading that I think are worth recalling and sharing.
