On the day of atonement, Israelites "afflict their souls" and "do no work." Not separate items, but mutually explanatory: Refraining from work afflicts the soul.
Converse: Work is soul-refreshing, not merely an instrument to make a living but a form of life, an expression of liveliness.
Thus: Lack of work shrivels the soul.
"Such is the demand of our nature for an object in pursuit that no accumulation of previous success can extinguish it..."
-Thomas Chalmers, The Expulsive Power of a New Affection
We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15

"...every book of the Old Testament history tells the melancholy story of man's disobedience and man's unbelief in things pertaining to God."

@AndyHilm@hockeystatcards Exactly.
Somehow, our PK is top in the league and he starts on that unit. NJD go 0-5 on their PP. PK is 100% responsibility and effort. Yet, HE is the problem with the entire team.
@sethbishop@AGoldFan You’re killing me, Smalls!
This entire conversation drives me nuts.
Best PK in the league. Who starts on that unit? Burns. Why? He’s actually good. We don’t get to say he’s awful with the best PK in the NHL.
But you like the narrative, so…
It's a great time for hockey in the Triangle!
We're excited to celebrate the grand opening of two new street hockey rinks at Apex Community Park this Saturday, featuring food trucks, #Canes players, and more.

@AGoldFan I’d love to hear more on why Canes fans are losing their minds on Burns, but are silent on Walker -4, Ghost is -7, Svech is -7, Roslovic is -10.
Slavin is “great” (and he is). He has 21 pts.
Burns is “awful, needs to retire, etc.” He also has 21 pts.
