Out of Egypt:

an ideal Sunday, except for (or maybe because of?) the weather

Church at the Sondreggers', then 2 hours of shoveling. That's a pleasant burning in my arms. Makes me think of "Let It Snow," though "Let It Freezing Rain" would be more like it currently.

"Messiah" last night was seriously fun, though I would've gladly exchanged "His yoke is easy" for "And He shall purify." "But thanks be to God" is another of my favorites, but I hear it's difficult. Couldn't be more difficult than the "Amen" though.

Would anyone be willing to read Saved from Sacrifice? I find the book to be amazingly helpful, though I certainly don't agree with it in every detail, or believe it to be a complete theology of the Cross. I'd like to find someone with whom I can discuss the book and maybe figure out how to incorporate Heim's insights into a more traditional (substitutionary) understanding of the atonement.
