Who's The Happy Chappy?

This is the day. . . that the Lord has made, and that the plane will fly. I'm rejoicing in it.

I picked a pillow with a sizeable indentation in it (they say Einstein had a large brain). But in the morning I don't feel any smarter and just have really bad hair. I feel better at breakfast, though, when I see a photo of JFK and Bobby that was taken just feet from me. I am in the presence of greatness. And history.

Soon seven or eight decades of history will become millennia in another land they call Holy.

(Last night started listening to Jerry Bridges' classic, "The Pursuit of Holiness." Might still be available for free download at christianaudio.com)

Today's Isaiah reading: "Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. . . there will be a time when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light--a light that will shine on all who live in the land where death casts its shadow" (Is 9:1-2 NLT).

Holy and gracious God, you have rescued me, a gentile, from darkness. Your son is the light of the world. May He be that for increasing numbers of your chosen people, for the glory of your name. Amen.
