Ponder This: An Uncalled for Call to Prayer?
http://2ndpresby.blogspot.com/2010/06/uncalled-for-call-to-prayer.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. An Uncalled for Call to Prayer? I’ve included a link to this segment of her show, and her reaction to the call to prayer comes at the beginning. In addition to this discussion, the opening promo for the show, she was even more dismissive of the president’s call to prayer. (http:/ www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#37720373).

Ponder This: Effective but Immoral Words
http://2ndpresby.blogspot.com/2010/04/effective-but-immoral-words.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Effective but Immoral Words. I promised a follow up to my previous blog about the collateral damage of words. Holy Week and a week away for study has delayed me but, true to my word, here’s my new word on words. What is said is serves. Profit motives or special agendas;. And what is said is to the end of imposing black and white realities. On a complex world so as to establish sides-. A necessary prerequisite to one side winning…. Words become marketing tools meant to manipulate.

Ponder This: The Collateral Damage of Words
http://2ndpresby.blogspot.com/2010/03/teh-collateral-damage-of-words.html
Friday, March 26, 2010. The Collateral Damage of Words. I won’t give the blogger’s name because he later apologized both for this blog and for his next one which was even worse. After hearing about the cut propane line, he responded by posting: “Do you mean I posted his brother's address on my Facebook? Oh well, collateral damage.". Again, the blogger has apologized and others are doing a good job of taking him to task for posting the way he did. The phrase I want to focus upon is “. George Anderson is m...

Ponder This: Opposing Cliffs
http://2ndpresby.blogspot.com/2010/07/opposing-cliffs.html
Friday, July 23, 2010. My theory is this: there is a cliff at the extreme of both the liberal and conservative movements. The danger of each cliff frightens the opposite movement and pushes them toward a cliff of their own. First the conservative movement and then the liberal. I often dance to this drumbeat because I love my tribes: my family, my country, my church, and my treasured circles of friends. “Inside traditions” have formed me and mean a great deal to me. One cliff Christian conservatives must ...

Ponder This: February 2010
http://2ndpresby.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. One summer, I made a huge mistake. I heard that a buffet at a state park was worth enjoying and so I recommended to the three families vacationing together that we try it out. It was terrible. After apologizing to the others, I told them that the buffet would be my new definition of hell: “All the food you can eat, and none of it good.”. We’ll see how it goes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
