Economy of Salvation


Only rare things are precious.

God
took embraced finite form so that his salvific acts would have "real" value.
The passion: 3 hours of agony and a few liters of unspeakably precious blood, minted all the currency that will ever be used to "purchase us at great price".

Our limited time for
com-passion, viewed alongside eternity, is the "gold tried in the fire" because it is the rare reality that physical fire-tried-gold was made to foreshadow.

Your acts are precious, because they will come to an end soon, and never occur again.

Salvation is God acting in you, without counting the cost.

A blog by any other name ...

Anyways, welcome to my journal, a blog-by-any-other-name!

I hope to use it, more as an essay-growing garden. Tossing out some thoughtseeds and cultivating them as inspiration strikes
.
(...or uprooting them depending on how badly they stink.)
