Well, today is the final day of my two-week R&R; it's back to work on Monday. A few thoughts:
1. Ipods are great! :) I bought one shortly before my deployment, and used it daily while in the gym. There is so much great stuff on the Internet to download to an Ipod. Before I left, I downloaded a bunch of lessons from these two sites: http://itunes.rts.edu/ and http://www.covenantseminary.edu/worldwide/default.asp. What great resources. I still listen to MacArthur in the car, but in the gym, it's gotta be something for the Ipod. The days of carrying a tape or CD player are over!
2. "Future Israel" was interesting, but I'm looking forward to reading the two books by John Frame that I ordered while deployed. My wife thinks I should alternate reading practical stuff with the pointy-headed theology stuff. I think she's right. I'll probably read Jerry Bridges latest book first.
3. My father-in-law likes Romney. I think I agree. Disappointed in Thompson; his campaign never really got going.
4. My youngest daughter wants to go to Oklahoma State; she wants to be a vet, which is a very tough field to get into. But her grades are rockin'. She might do it.
5. Became a first-time granddad in Nov. I guess I'm supposed to feel old...

Yo, Chief. Welcome back to the good ol' USA. I finally found your website after losing the URL (found in an archived email), and look forward to your blog entries.
I don't have an ipod, but will look into it with all the rich resources it looks like one can download these days.
I am starting to read Mac's "Faith Works." I have a brother in Christ here challenging me on "Lorship Salvation"; says my teaching is legalism and works/righteousness relationship. It clearly is not what I teach. Why is it that we want to hang on to our sin and not obey the Lord and be sanctified? Romans 6 -7 clearly lay it out there for us. It's not rocket science, just a new life that struggles daily with vestiges of my old "grave clothes" that I am commanded to get rid of. Put off the old man, and put on Christ. HHhmmm... Time to trust, pray, and obey.
Blessings and peace in our Lord Jesus. Paul Daniel
