God is good?

At least one of my youth are dealing with this issue, "If God is love then how could he ever punish?"  We're going to be taking a look at this topic later on in the year, but I came across this video and thought that D.A. Carson does a great job in just a few minutes.  So, check it out.

First Person Tetris:


Have you ever said to yourself, "I wish I could better understand the plight of the shapes in this game that I am playing, right now." I know I have, because essentially I'm sending them to their death. When I finalize a row, BOOM! They just disappear. I'm sure that shape doctors have been working on it for a while now and are soon to come out with a cure for spontaneous proximity based disappearance syndrome (SPBDS). While they do that why don't you try to get better acquainted with the mind of a shape as it spends it's brief life cycle spinning and dropping to it's doom.

You barbarian.

The Wreck of the Deutschland:

Have I posted this poem before? Just incase I haven't, I'll post the whole thing here for you to read. I love it.  The poem is considerably long so it's entirety is after the jump.  But, I'll go ahead and let you know what it's about...cuz you won't get it from the poem easily.


Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.
4. The Wreck of the Deutschland
To the happy memory of five Franciscan Nuns exiles by the Falk Laws drowned between midnight and morning of Dec. 7th. 1875
