Another day, another mile along the journey. Another panel on the window of my life. I was contemplating this journey this morning on my drive into work. To be a bit more specific, I was considering what I think God expects of us. It began, really as I lamented that my walk was less thanContinue reading “Process or Product”

Wednesday, I met with my pastor about some church business. As we were wrapping up, I brought up my issues with Spong. During the course of our discussion, she told me she thought Marcus Borg’s writings on God and Jesus might help me understand Spong better. Both of us agree that Spong has focused muchContinue reading “Lifting the Fog”

It’s been a slow week. Really, I seem to be devoid of thoughts… like an automaton, I proceed about my life either dully performing necessary tasks, or drifting off into some pointless, mind-numbing exercise in fantasy. So, I guess that’s not totally devoid of thought, but it is of any thought worthwhile to be writtenContinue reading “Mental Blackhole”

Driving in to work this morning, I listened to some evangelist railing against the intelligentsia and scholarship. Huh, I scratched my head. Isn’t it amazing that of all people, Christian evangelists would object to scholarship and “the intelligentsia”. I know there are those out there that would say that it is totally believable, after all,Continue reading “In defense of being smart(er than I)”

“Thou wast not, then, yesterday, nor wilt thou be tomorrow; but yesterday and today and tomorrow thou art; or, rather, neither yesterday nor today nor tomorrow thou art; but simply, thou art, outside all time. For yesterday and today and tomorrow have no existence, except in time; but thou, although nothing exists without thee, neverthelessContinue reading “Musings on Proslogium”

I’ve spent some time today browsing through other blogs. It’s been a humbling experience. In fact, I just finished reading one blog from the beginning of September up to today’s post, and am in utter awe of the young man who wrote it. I wish I had the talent he has for self-expression. Here wasContinue reading “And the journey forks…”

That bible study the other night has been a fruitful source of contemplation for me these past few days. “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn…” It’s that “Seek my face” that has gotten my attention. It’s part of that Prayer Quest that we areContinue reading “More Questing…”

What is Prayer? This was the question asked in our weekly Bible Study this week. The answers given were the ones I’d expect. Conversation with God; Listening; Communicating with God. All good answers, demonstrating to me, at least, that most there had a good understanding of prayer. I held back, not wanting to have toContinue reading “And now for the real me…”

before proceeding. First of all, on lost/forgotten logins mentioned in the previous post. Now, this makes me feel old. After 3 months unable to remember my login/password for this site, I tried out a combination, and it worked. What’s odd about that? It’s the same friggin’ login/password I use for 90% of my other locations.Continue reading “Some Preliminary Thoughts…”

Sigh. For one who styles oneself “One Who Writes” I’ve fallen a little short. Perhaps I should have styled myself “One who fails to write”. Actually, I kind of forgot my login and password for a while. Comes from failing to write! So what’s going on? I’ve been reading a lot of interesting blogs. EspeciallyContinue reading “Badly named, perhaps?”
