Durham,

You are quoting your face off. I like all the angles you are coming from with these.

I would like to hear more from you personally, though. I need some Durham quotes to roll around in my head.

I've been working on this thought. Tell me what you think:

"God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him."

I know, I know, that's John Piper. But wouldn't it be cool if I thought of that!

you are a Piper portal. All I have read of his is 'Pierced by the Word' a short daily read with his famous quote of praising God for orange juice. I will have to dive deeper on him
