What Brand Are You?

What Brand Are You? Reposted from May 3, 2004 @ 8:25 I finished that book by Fisher-Roffer awhile back,Make a Name for Yourself: Eight Steps Every Woman Needs to Create a Personal Brand Strategy for Success, but I keep thinking about it. Because it is mainly about marketing oneself, it brought forth many of the conflicts between the demands of the Kingdom of God and the demands of this world’s system, the Cosmos. I...

Things I Learned In Forums

If this seems like a strange post out of nowhere- although on my blog who could tell?) I decided I would go through past drafts and try to work on them if they still seem to hold some interest. So here for your reading pleasure are thoughts that something in the past inspired. Originally posted 01/04/06 Lots of bloggers end up running into the social dynamics of large groups interacting in dialogue. Some...

What’s the Meaning of a Name?

I was always interested in name meanings, perhaps because my own name was an unusual one, but probably because most people think that the meaning of their names holds some interest, or sparks their curiosity to some degree. We are seeking our identity most of our lives, and what is more of an identifier than our personal name? When my children were conceived, and in some cases before, I had mulled over...

I KNEW that!

writingdramatica: I thought it at the time but I figured it would be okay. It wasn’t. Which is fine. I should have done more at the time. I should have pushed the boat (or thought) out a little bit more. I’ll have another crack soon and I’ll listen and act on my own criticism before I send it off this time rather than agreeing with it when I receive the identical criticism back. [emphasis...

Prayer: Intercession

Prayer: Intercession reposted from Sept.2005 I began with Prayer: Getting To Know God because that is the prayer that begins the pattern of the Our Father prayer. We come to know Who God is, The Creator, the Father of All, now Our Father in a special redemptive way through Christ… we enter into a relationship of finding out His will and identifying our petitions in that framework. We find that most of our beginning with...

Politicking

a repost from 08/04/04 just checking to see how much things change Ocean Guy is an interesting read. One of his posts comments on one reason for an exodus from the Democratic party, Extremism. I don’t have lots to comment, personally, except that I mulled over whether this is similar to my own shift towards the conservative politics of the Republicans through the years. I maintain Independent...

Getting To Know You/From the Past

Due to looking @ the web archive I thought you all might like to see one of my early posts here on weblogs.us. The topic was the war in Iraq, and at the time I would not have imagined we would still be mired as deeply as we presently are in 2007. Yet, I still have the same opinion that I record here. Taking the time to rebuild some of my old posts, although I have transferred some temporarily to another...

The Mommy Wars

The Mommy Wars Reposting this from Nov. 3, 2004 in the interest of defining some things about SAHM’s and some of the cultural myths that are *still* with us.

Yes. Answering Atheism

[repost from November 15, 2004 @ 15:52] When one says “There is no God” it is an antithetical premise to “There is a God”. This antithetical, while negative in statement, is not ‘nothing’; it is not merely an absence of belief. When we find those who both submit the antithetical statement and surround it with actions amounting to a “cause” we have many...

He cited me from one of my posts. “The Impact of Religion on Society“, so -of course, I have to answer. He said this: |But who treats mere theism as if it alone...

Impact of Religion on Society

[repost from October 24, 2004 @ 12:42] More about the impact of religion on society The Means and The End It was questioned where I would weight the impact of religions on society,”you seem to think that religion has a smaller impact on society than homosexual marriage.” I believe religion has the greatest impact of any single influence in society, if we include the philosophy/world view that...
