I was merely
thinking God's thoughts after him.
Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God
in regard to the book of nature,
it benefits us to be thoughtful,
not of the glory of our minds,
but rather, above all else,
of the glory of God.
--Johannes Kepler
About Afterthoughts
At the end of 2005, after being encouraged more than once by her dear friend Grace to create her own blog, Brandy decided to acquiesce. Grace is full of good ideas, and this just might turn out to be one of them.This blog got its name from what it does, which is to attempt to think through the thoughts of God and man. Very few original thoughts appear around here. The bulk of the ideas are simply afterthoughts: thoughts that other people thunk first. Anything original is purely accidental, for we are afterthinkers here.
