I don’t like election years, usually. I especially don’t like this one. At least in the last election there was a sense of purpose and passion. There were prayer groups who sincerely sought God’s best for the nation.
But this time around the stuff will just hit the fan and disseminate on everyone in [...]

Anyway, as I slam dance ( first hint) my way through all the obligations of a middle-aged woman, but not the run of the mill middle-aged woman….. no, this [...]

The Art of Lamentation
July 26th, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations
Ocean Guy noted that today was a Jewish Observance, Tisha B’Av. I don’t think this is a well known part of the Jewish experience, but it caught my eye since some of the Prophetic Christian teachings occasionally make reference to it. ( Prophetic as a term of Christian interest…sort of like the ‘Emerging Church’ is [...]

Waiting To See

Disturber of the Peace posts in more button-pushing terms than I would feel comfortable with, but has a prognostication on the Olympics. Interesting.
His point makes sense to me, also:
“Like Hitler, bin Ladenism has an agenda: the end of the liberal West. Its supposedly crackpot vision is actually a petrol-rich Middle East free of Jews, Christians, [...]

Baghdad and Kabul: politics versus war Paul Rogers – openDemocracy
As the Iraqi situation stands today, I worry that the United States may or may not be, once again, supporting the formation of a barbaric regime. This is the risk in being the primary instrument by which a power structure is instituted. And America has stepped [...]

Think you are a liberal person? Think that you advocate freedom and tolerance for all peoples? If so, where do you stand on this proposed segregation?

Compliance Or Defiance -Which Are You?
July 8th, 2004 · Comments Off · Cogitations
The past few days of topics here have gotten me thinking. I started to pull together different subjects from past experience that are loosely based upon the ideas of rebellion and submission.
The personality test, which rated me ( not surprisingly) as a disagreeable person seemed to be gauging compliance vs. non-compliance levels. And while I [...]

I Had To Ask Myself
July 8th, 2004 · Comments Off · Christian
In the discussion with Jeremy on matters of Christian doctrine… why was it important to me to hammer out things for the sake of those readers who are unbelievers?

Knowing the Will of God
I have to return to one more thing that came up in Jeremy’s comments. It was this : “The same distinction that appears in other discussions related to God’s will has to arise here also. There’s God’s sovereign will, which we only know for sure when it actually happens, and [...]

Anti-Semitism-Checking the Temperature
July 12th, 2004 · Comments Off · Commentary
Another case of Anti-Semitism in France is in the news.
It isn’t in all the headlines, but it is noteworthy to check on these markers in the worlds temperature of tolerance. Racism is often like a volcano…… it builds for quite a while before exploding in destruction. There is so much inflammatory rhetoric throughout the world [...]
