Well, maybe not fishin'...but I'll be blogging live from the Land of Calvin. And, to be sure, I will be knee deep in thoughts of RE-FORMATION. Three weeks in Switzerland should be good for the body, the family and the soul.
Even more, we're here in time to celebrate Calvin's 500 birthday! Yipeee.
I'll leave you with thoughts to ponder from the man himself.
"Therefore the godly heart feels in itself a division because it is partly imbued with sweetness from its recognition of divine goodness, partly grieves in bitterness from an awareness of its calamity; partly rests upon the promise of the gospel, partly trembles at the evidence of its own iniquity; partly rejoices at the expectation of life, partly shudders at death. This variation arises from imperfection of faith, since in the course of the present life it never goes so well with us that we are wholly cured of the disease of unbelief and entirely filled and possessed by faith," -- John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, III.ii.18
