This jumped out at me: "...to love what God has given rather than feeling angry about what is withheld..." and Gen 3:4 came immediately to mind: "God is withholding..." (paraphrase). So, amen to Kelly Kapic for reminding us to imagine that YHWH knows just how much infirmity we each need to grow in grace and favor... And thank you, Mike, for your word.
Thank you, Professor Bird, for this recommendation. It’s perfect for where I am in my journey. I’ll get and read it soon.
On another matter, I believe it was not long ago in Word from the Bird that you recommended a new commentary on Song of Solomon. I’m eager to consult it in preparation of the homily I’ll be privileged to share at Elisha (son) and Tara’s (future daughter-in-law) wedding in June. Can you remind me of that book and author?
Thank you for your work. I treasure Word from the Bird as essential regular continuing theological education.

You never could run 5K in 5:00 minutes. The world record is 12:35.36, which is in itself pretty insane.
