I wasn’t intending this at the outset, but I had written this long comment that wasn’t accepted -for length. So I was forced, forced, I tell you, to comment on a post concerning abortion.
I was minding my own business going to the links on my blogroll. I visited Philosoraptor and since (s)he makes an excellent [...]

Where’s My Virtue?
April 29th, 2004 · Comments Off · Conviviality
I waste time. Sometimes curiously, sometimes to vent tension, and while I have no idea what has contributed to this latest bout …. I have followed links on other’s blogs that then led me down the primrose path….
Anything but Ordinary led me to the creativity test where I scored a 77.4 or [...]

Christian Bloggers Awaken
April 28th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian, Contemporaries, blogdom
So. How verrry interesting. Discovered in time for the conversation I was having on Forums…where Christians and NonChristians intersect… is this discussion on Christian blogs about the perception of insulation of Christians, by Living Room and an internet outreach project in the making. I don’t have time to opine at the moment, but I wanted [...]

Hello, It’s Me
April 27th, 2004 · 2 Comments · Conviviality
I’ve been reading more of the book on creating your “brand”. I can’t use all of it, but there are some highly useful concepts in there. Theophilus, in asking about Vash, is actually requesting something of a brand description for “Vash“. We do that all the time, look for short-hand to get a handle [...]

Make it Public
April 27th, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations
Announcement of quitting a forum really drew my interest, posted by Theophilus. I spent much time in that venue and came away with a few opinions and some lessons from those experiences. I recommend reading all through the comments following Theo.’s post … many worthwhile observations. After all, we are observers of our culture on [...]

a little something before I go to bed
April 26th, 2004 · Comments Off · Conviviality
At the library today I picked up a book on a whim. I often do that. Usually I get gardening books or books on a certain subject I need to study for some odd reason, but every once in a awhile an odd topic will attract my eye and I will pick up the book.
Once [...]

It was a strange day
April 25th, 2004 · Comments Off · Conviviality
Very strange. I couldn’t sleep last night again…different reasons. Maybe the thunderstorm. I made the effort to get up for church ( after drifting off for maybe two hours ) and get dressed. So far so good. Had coffee and sweet roll for breakfast, excellent. We all pile into the van at [...]

Hard Things For Christians
April 25th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian
It is a hard thing to face ones restrictions. It is hard to realize that one cannot force the will of someone else. That one may not require revenge. That one may not do what seems natural in righting wrongs.
It is a hard thing to rein oneself in. To wait for justice. To trust that [...]

God does Strange Things
April 22nd, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations
I recently read a testimony of a Christian, Peter, that while more extreme than many, had numerous things that I remember from many testimonies of those sorts of Christians that have complete life-changing conversions from the time I was also saved.
It has a few similarities to my own conversion -which is online, here.
Peter said something [...]

Culture Faultlines
April 23rd, 2004 · Comments Off · Commentary
After talking about ideas of masculinity in the Church, and after looking at complaints about the mix of Christian identification and political issues, there came up this news item on the Japanese view of their returned hostages from Iraq.
At the base of the cultural views of East and West on such issues is something [...]
