Ruth's Ramblings

Thought of the day:

That wail of grief over Jerusalem has about it a quality almost like shyness. Jesus, who could destroy Jerusalem with a word, who could call down legions of angels to force subjection, instead looks over the city and weeps. God holds back; he hides himself; he weeps. Why? Because he desires what power can never win. He is a king who wants not subservience, but love. Thus, rather than mowing down Jerusalem, Rome, and every other worldy power, he chose the slow, hard way of Incarnation, love,and death. A conquest from within. - Philip Yancey

Philip Yancey rocks, IMO by the way.

Dead animal update: It was a large cat in the attic, huddled in the corner right above the master bathroom. Apparently it climbed in during construction and was trapped there, and eventually starved to death and rotted. Pretty nasty.
