On Friday we took Owain to hospital to have five milk teeth extracted. Obviously it was rather traumatic but he's come through it fine. I was impressed with the thorough and straightforward way most of it was done. Various people come and speak to you before the operation all asking whether he has eaten that morning. He hadn't but his patience was wearing thin by the time he was ready to go in. They must do them in batches of six and he was last for some reason (because he was the oldest or the one having most out?). It took a little while to get through the general anaesthetic. He was distracted by visiting cousins over the weekend but we kept him off school Monday just to help him. He is a brave boy.
The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.
