The Nelson’s have been in Snowmass this week for vacation. We absolutely love it here - there is NO WAY to be bored. We hit the river yesterday and are heading out to do the mountain swing today. I thought I would share a few of the photos from our trip thus far. See you all back in Memphis.

A couple of days ago I blogged about interracial marriage. After reading my link, a good friend of mine sent me this resource from John Piper on interracial marriage. To be honest, I have never given much thought to interracial marriage. That said, I have enjoyed my study on it in the last few days and this sermon has been a great resource for me.

This is a great parody on The Office tv show. This guy is hilarious and obviously has a good sense of humor about what he does.

I have been fan of Brad Paisley since a Young Life kid asked me to play Mud on the Tires at club one night. I like this latest video in particular because of Brad’s ability to laugh at himself.

In defending his postmodernist vision of Christianity (truth is fluid; inerrancy is passe, and so forth), Tony argued that I actually was closer to his position than I realize, precisely because of my stance on interracial marriage.
On the previous Wednesday’s “Ask Anything Wednesday” show, a caller had asked about interracial marriage. I told the caller that the Scripture nowhere forbids interracial marriage, that the distinctions to worry about should be of the Spirit not the skin-color. Tony, rightly, observed that my great-grandfather would not have said that. My stance on interracial marriage ought to demonstrate to me, he argued, that truth is not “Platonically floating around somewhere” but is instead changing and growing.

Wednesday morning quote…
In working through The Power of Uniqueness I came across this quote that I wanted to share. Miller uses this C.S. Lewis quote in context to the negative ways that we can use our giftedness.
