Got a call Friday indicating I'd been hired for the job I retired for. I expect to hear from my new boss tomorrow. I'm sure I'll start soon, how soon will be up to my new employer. Since I continue to collect active duty pay until my official retirement date of 1 Feb 09, anything I earn between now and then will be banked for who knows what.... The only downside is this means my vacation will soon be over, as will my 3 hrs/day in the gym...
Jan and I have been driving around town, looking at houses in various price ranges, different ages, neighborhoods, etc. We're not the fixer upper types, but there's something appealing about owning an older home, namely, a far lower mortgage payment. But some of the home's we've looked at show significant structural weaknesses even to our untrained eyes. All I need is to buy a money pit! I expect we'll probably play it safe, and spend money for a home commensurate with our income rather than go on the cheap. You know the saying - penny wise, pound foolish!
I'm reading John Frame's "Salvation belongs to the Lord", an introduction to systematic theology. I already own a bunch of different systematic theologies, but it never hurts to brush up. Anyway, he mentions something I've never heard before in the chapter on Eschatology. I find a lot to commend the "partial preterist" view, but about that Frame says this "It is also significant that the early church fathers of the generation following the apostles never speak of a return of Christ that occurred in AD 70. Significant indeed!
