A compilation of musings about religion and religious life. Ceasing our Worship of the God of the Lost Keys. That said, I wonder if we (more accurately if I) have become complacent or idolatrous in our (my) approaching God as a result of such experiences? Blessings that short-circuit the growth process, then complain when we perceive any so-called failure of the "technology.". Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). David O. McKay.

A compilation of musings about religion and religious life. A New Perspective on the Naaman Narrative. As I reflected on Naaman's story this weekend, the richness of the story's symbolism dawned on me in new light. We are familiar with the basics of the plot line and I find no need to rehash them here. Suffice it to say that he, as a foreigner (Gentile), sought instruction from the prophet to cure leprosy and received counsel to wash seven times in the Jordan River. Links to this post. How can the revela...

http://meditatingonmormonism.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

A compilation of musings about religion and religious life. On this day, many wonder how to honor motherhood and mothers without adding to the burden of those whose mortal trials include an absence of the pitter-patter of little feet on the floor of their home.

We honor our mothers and our Mother, and hope that the mothe...

A compilation of musings about religion and religious life. On Milk and Meat. You're probably thinking 'Not another post on Sunday School! Not that I've posted profusely on the topic, but the milk and meat theme tends to be a hot-button issue on the bloggernacle. My goal isn't to rehash what we usually say on the subject, but rather to reframe the discussion slightly. Where, then, do we turn next? If so, how do we resolve the seeming paradox before us? One approach to personal study may offer a way of sp...

A compilation of musings about religion and religious life. Captain of Choice (poetry). Forward march, the cry rang out,. And the ranks advanced in turn. Holding fast, they marched en route,. A word of praise to earn. Commands continue; all men obey,. Not one dares leave his place. And so proceeds throughout the day,. Recognition's glance to chase. Exactly, ever eager,. They execute without delay. The orders of their leader. Who shows and marks their way. So, too, each man who dies and lives. Does our te...
