Glad to be Back at PB

Greetings! I just spent the last 2.5 weeks working on the wildfires in northern California. After my family and church, I think I missed the PB the most! While I've only participated for a short time, this forum has become important to me, leading me to some great books, different perspectives, and an eye toward the bigger discussions within the reformed world. Thanks all. Glad to be back, though I'm likely to head west again soon.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Thank you! We had some copper sunlight during the worst of it as far north as Portland, OR. It reminded me to pray. Welcome back!

Very cool;

While you were gone we solved the theonomy issue and the baptism issue - and you missed it all!

Just kidding, of course....

I was at Hayfork working on the Lime Complex. I'm not surprised the smoke went as far as Portland ...

Well, I grew up in Redding, so I know right where Hayfork is. All that smoke is getting blown into Redding and my parents are having a hard time with it. Glad you are back home, though.
