A Book I’m Reading – Surprised by Hope
From Amazon:
Many Christians believe our future in heaven is all that really matters. But that’s not what the Bible teaches. Bible scholar N. T. Wright brings you inside the Scriptures to grasp the full, breathtaking hope Jesus offers the world, and its implications for your life today.
Gain an exciting new vision for your life on earth in light of your future in heaven. Wonderful as is the promise of heaven, a glorious hereafter is just part of what salvation is about.
What about today? Jesus called his followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Your life here and now is of tremendous consequence, and what you believe about the future has a direct impact on how you live in the present.
A Great Addition to Your Trunk – Organizer Blocks
These are simple but very useful! These little blocks help hold luggage and other items in place in your trunk. I saw a Lyft driver use them recently and immediately ordered some. I no longer have to listen to all my stuff slide back and forth while I’m driving!

This is a simple stand for iPads. The strong magnets that are built into this stand make it easy to elevate your iPad in a slick way. There are versions for most iPad sizes.
A Quote from I’m Thinking About
Jesus’s resurrection is the beginning of God’s new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord’s Prayer is about.” — N.T. Wright
