A Big Chill

Currently in Toledo, OH:
Mostly Cloudy and Windy. 16 degrees Farenheit. Feels Like -3 degrees Farenheit.
weather.com
I see that it is 15 with a -2 windchill in Upland. Pretty close to us.
I guess I should be thankful that I don't live in Chicagoland!! 4 degrees with -15 chill in Deerfield!! Ouch!
St. Louis, on the other hand, makes me jealous: 23 with a 16 degree chill. !


I'm riding the campus bus as much as possible today, because the wind chill is ridiculous.
The bus driver was listening to a sports talk show on the radio. This quote stood out to my ears:

"Money will fail. Marriages most times will fail. The one thing they can't take away from you is your Superbowl record."

!!!

Good Lord, deliver us!

Sin and Morality

To ponder:

What do you think the connection, conceptually speaking, is between moral wrongdoing and sin? Are the categories of moral wrongdoing and sinful behavior coextensive? Does sin include anything that is not immoral? Does immorality include anything that is not sin?

If moral wrongdoing and sinful behavior are coexstensive, is there a strong intensional synonymity between the adjectives "immoral" and "sinful"?

MLK Day

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is Monday. As you probably all know.
I encourage you to do something about it.
Becoming more educated about the current state of race relations and race politics in this country is really important for deep-seated theological and moral reasons, in my opinion.
