Our apartment is in boxes. We move on Monday. So I haven’t read much this week, and the interesting things I did read I now can’t find amidst the piles. So… one article and one quotation:
Ramesh Ponnuru has an article for the New York Times, “The Year of the (Pro-Life) Woman.” He addresses the historical disparity between what women believe about abortion generally (48 percent consider themselves pro-life) and what women in Congress believe about abortion (up until this election season, there have been virtually no pro-life women present). In his words, “These women will make it easier for pro-lifers to discuss the issue in the terms we want to discuss it: as a plea for justice for a vulnerable group.”
And yet another word of wisdom from Eugene Peterson’s Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: “We cannot understand either the character or the significance of Sabbath apart from work and workplace. Work doesn’t take us away from God; it continues the work of God through us. Sabbath and work are not in opposition; Sabbath and work are integrated parts of an organic whole. Either apart from the other is crippled.”
