You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. Finding time for the world. I think the ongoing struggle in my life is (and will be) the need and desire to keep myself "in the world" when so much pulls me out. I work a more-than-full-time job, and while that could certainly be called "in the world," it isn't enough for me. I want more. More people, more perspective, more shared experience. Hey, hey, how are you guys doing?

You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. Some Folks Who Have Already Been Let Down. I've been listening to a lot of Rufus Wainwright in the last few months, and his song. Going to a Town. Release the Stars (2007). Album is beautiful, heartbreaking and fills me with the loneliness and frustration I see all around me. I'm going to a town that has already been burned down. I'm so tired of America. Making my own way home.

worldspeak: Suicide? Surrender? Or just lazy?

You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. Question: does following Jesus mean surrendering not only to Jesus, but surrendering to our enemies? Is that the surrendered life? Does loving our enemies mean surrendering to them? Does that surrender mean we allow them to be victorious? Does dying to ourselves mean laying down and dying? Do we stop trying to win? Monday, April 28, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I talked with a woman today who had visited my little "soulcafe" church once, but didn't return because it wasn't right for her. They were sweet people," she explained, "but I need to be in a place where they are living out the gifts of the spirit.". I said, "hold on, they. She told me I was denying the Holy Spirit because I didn't speak in tongues.

You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. We lost my grandfather on Sunday. It was so strange - everyone thought he was going to recover just fine after surgery on Tuesday to remove part of his stomach. Cancer. He had been walking around, talking. But a cohort of complications snowballed and he went down fast. His parents lived to 92 and 94 but he was only 77. We never expected it. As I watched my grandfather's body he...

You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. Not Offended, Just Annoyed. I don't get offended by "Christian-bashing" anymore. Probably because I'm guilty of it myself, too often. Last night I was hanging out with a group of people - one of whom I had not met before. Sometime during dinner at a Mexican joint, she made some disparaging comment about Christians. Eh, no biggie. They piss me off too,. Concept is all about....

You may have noticed that I don't post here these days. I just couldn't keep up with two blogs at once. Read me, up-to-date, at. Here's my confession - last Friday my wife and I cut in front of 7,000 expectant voters and Barack Obama fans to get into Eugene, Oregon's MacArthur Court! We knew it was wrong. We knew it was a sin. But we can't repent. The truth is, if we had to go through it all again, we would. It was worth it. Pretty soon we had sneakily been absorbed in the midst of several groups of peop...
