When I read the first paragraph, I thought, “Oh! Luther’s Catechism talks about this!” I enjoyed reading. It was a lovely meditation.

I'm so bummed I didn't know about that conference until it was over!

Also we are on a Magic School Bus books kick lately! Kind of detailed to read aloud, but very engaging for our budding nerd :D

Thanks for sharing the Something Beautiful with us.

And I’m looking forward to listening to Matthew Lee Anderson’s talk soon! I love this part you shared:

“Our calling as Christians is to conform our bodies to the death of Jesus, carrying in our bodies the dying of Jesus so that the life of Christ may be manifested through them to the world—whether that is as we age and die, or whether that is as we wrestle with fertility and infertility, or whether that is while we live our ordinary, quotidian lives… through the possession of our vessels in honor.”

I am so thankful to read (hear) that beautiful truth from another Christian. More of it, please!

I've been going through the new Plough issue this week and keep thinking of all your posts about health as I'm reading it! I really liked Peter Mommsen's "What Is Health?" as a way to kick off the issue.
