WWJD or WIJD? – Hypki's Pensees
https://hypkipensees.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/wwjd-or-wijd
Musings on living out the Christian life in the 21st century. A few years ago, everybody was talking about WWJD. People were wearing WWJD bracelets and putting WWJD bumper stickers on their cars. There were WWJD tee-shirts and pencils, even WWJD Bibles. The premise was that when you found yourself in a situation where you were not sure what to do, you simply asked yourself What Would Jesus Do? Then you would know exactly what to do! Did he have a good sense of humor? And then, what is the right answer?

Musings on living out the Christian life in the 21st century. So, our local baseball club has started the season 0. And 23. Every game has been lost by default, mainly because the team refuses to come out of the Clubhouse. I managed to visit the Clubhouse after their 23rd loss and talked with a few of the players. Rog said that this was his first year on. Tank tells me the buffet they put out for the team is fantastic! He has the menu memorized every day, and helped me get a plateful of food like I haven...

STILLBORN – Hypki's Pensees
https://hypkipensees.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/stillborn
Musings on living out the Christian life in the 21st century. Unplanned surprise suddenly expecting. We embraced the life that was growing within. But God knew we would never. Hold this child in our arms. We had moved our family, prepared a place. She would never come home. Yet how deeply she moved our hearts. I wonder sometimes as I look around. Who is born and who is stillborn. Kicking and stretching – showing signs of life. Moving towards the moment of birth. Jesus has gone to prepare a place. The ear...
