Pilgrims On The Way


our old theologians used to make a lot out of the distinction between God's knowledge and ours...they distinguished...between a knowledge of God in himslef (a theology of glory), which was unavailable to us, and a revelation of God accommodated to our weakness (a theology of the cross). they called "our theology" theologia viatorum, "the theology of pilgrims." while pilgrims haven't already arrived, they know where they're headed and are even now on their way by God's grace. -Michael Horton

Journey to Bethlehem

Zachariah, Grandma, Grandpa and Mommy (Tanya) visited a live Nativity last night.
On the way to Bethlehem we were stopped by a Roman soldier who warned us to pay our taxes to Ceasar, and to remember to sign the register. Zach was a little frightened, but we happened upon a kind soldier who let Zach hold his spear- Zach was okay with him after that.

Next we met the travelling wise-men who actually had llamas with humps tied on their backs instead of camels. (Perhaps them wise men aren't all that smart...)






Then we signed the register upon arrival in the town of David.






We saw plenty of animals of all kinds, as well as a market full of vendors and peddlers with whom Zach eagerly wanted to associate.










It was a long evening, but there was lots to see and hear- a concert, a play, the nut-cracker story in live maniquin scene-by-scene displays.... And then hot cocoa and cookies to end it all.
