It's been a little bit quiet around here

Somehow amidst all the hustle and bustle and sickness of the past few weeks, I just haven't gotten around to posting much of anything (or doing much of anything for that matter). I did get a little bit of reading done though, and am currently partway through another book. On top of that, my iPod has also been in working order, and, last night, I finished listening to the last of a set of lectures by Jerram Barrs. From this set of lectures I'd like to share a quote taken from about one hour into lecture 5:

We as Christians blaspheme all the time - far worse when unbelievers - when we say to somebody "oh... I'll pray for you. God bless you" when we don't mean it at all - we have no interest in the person whatsoever. That's really blasphemous... in a way that someone who doesn't believe in God taking his name in vain is not blasphemous to the same power at all. I'm not saying that we excuse them. We don't understand blasphemy deeply enough.
