Celebrity roommate

Ty Simmons, the face of Covenant Seminary, with whom I happen to live, has written an excellent guest post on Trevin Wax's blog over on The Gospel Coalition.  You'd do well to read it.  A highlight to get you interested:
Here is my confession: I assuage my guilt with beauty.  In my struggles with sin, in my struggles with addictions, in my struggles with inclinations of the heart, I have sought out beauty alone to make me feel better...I do not continue down the narrow path because the beautiful sentence I have just read has atoned for my sin or the music I've been listening to brought me to tears.
[...] 
I long for beauty to save me and she continually proves an impotent savior.  
A writer, he is.
