Side Note: Just to let you know, after I complained about ArtPrize, the art that won was an image of Jesus. :) He lives for us. In Bible study this weekend, we merged with the New Life in Christ class, which was focusing on the topic of the fall. It was encouraging to be reminded that God is outside this thing called Time. He--the Beginning and End--knows all outcomes. He had already conquered Satan before Christ even came. When Jesus rode on that donkey before he went to the cross, he'd truly already triumphed. It was comforting for me to be reminded that Satan isn't some ruler of hell, but that God is in control of even him and he will not let us fall (especially for me, because I was up to my ears in Puritan readings that perceived Satan in all kinds of different ways last week). Pastor described him as a pit bull on a chain. If we get near, he'll bite. I pray he is far from us this week! Love you girls.

Hilarious and amazing and touching all in one about that ArtPrize winner! Isn't God awesome?! :) And I appreciate the description your pastor gave of Satan like a pit bull on a chain. We need to take care not to get close to him. True true!
