Derek Webb has long been one of my favorite grassroots musical artists with his folk sound and real, transparent lyrics.  I enjoyed listening to him on this podcast posted on grassroots music.  I found his comments regarding the apparent misquote in Relevant Magazine’s article titled, “How to Dismantle an Idolized Bono” to be of particular interest.

I wanted to share this quote I recently came across from poet and professor Stanley Wiersma (good Dutch name ;):

"When you are too sure about God and faith, you are sure of something other than God: of dogma, of the church, of a particular interpretation of the Bible. But God cannot be pigeonholed. We must press toward certainty, but be suspicious when it comes too glibly."

Have you ever been at a place in life where you've felt so fortunate and blessed to the point where good stuff is piled on top of other good stuff, higher and higher? I've found myself in a similar place recently and I have been doing some reflection about that.
