Quote of the Day
Okay, so my blog has taken on a rather negative tone lately. I need to be more positive. That's why my quote of the day will not be Curt Schilling on Barry Bonds, "He cheated on his wife, he cheated on his taxes, he cheated on the game." Rather, my quote of the day come from Calvin's Commentary on Psalm 1:
"According to all outward appearance, the servants of God may derive no advantage from their uprightness; but as it is the peculiar office of God to defend them and take care of their safety, they must be happy under his protection. And from this we may also conclude that, as he is the certain avenger of wickedness, although, for a time, he may seem to take no notice of the ungodly, yet at length he will visit them with destruction. Instead, therefore, of allowing ourselves to be deceived with their imaginary felicity, let us, in circumstances of distress, have ever before our eyes the providence of God, to whom it belongs to settle the affairs of the world, and to bring order out of confusion."

leave it to Calvin to say something that hits the spot. On my travels many people talk to me (without my permission or interest) about the great life theyre living, partying, boozing, sleeping with random Romaninan women, and it all seems fine and dandy, but it only lasts for a season, and then destruction comes like a flood.
