Brent Thomas: Lessons Learned
http://brentthomaslive.blogspot.com/2010/03/lessons-learned.html
Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Sunday, March 7, 2010. Friday, March 5th, 2010. Enroute, Jeff has been plucking away on his laptop like a madman, shuffling through his detailed notes, and trying to commit our already fading memories to writing. Jeff is a master at observation and analysis. I’m confident he’ll bring order and clarity to the jungle book of experiences we’ve had. I think I can speak for both of us in saying that this trip had more of a personal impact on us than we anticipated.

Brent Thomas: Burgers With V. and J.
http://brentthomaslive.blogspot.com/2010/03/burgers-with-v-and-j.html
Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Saturday, March 6, 2010. Burgers With V. and J. Thursday, March 4. For their protection, I cannot tell you where these 2 guys are from. They live in a place where Islam is radicalized and Christians are being mobilized. Over a Thursday night re-entry meal of burgers and hot dogs I sat mesmerized for over an hour as they shared their lives and their lifestyles. I can’t tell you their real names, so let’s just call them V. and J. The mullah agreed with V.

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Saturday, July 11, 2009. I Stink at Some Things. Sue sent this blog link to me with some comments (below): http:/ www.techherding.com/2009/04/celebrate-what-you-suck-at/. That's one big lie from the pit.we end up spending all our energy on things He created other people to shine at and only have time to function in a substandard way within our own strengths because we've run out of time to focus on improving our strengths. Did that make sense?

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Friday, February 26, 2010. Don't Eat at Short Tables. We enjoyed a couple of important meetings on Friday. The first was a chicken and mashed potatoes lunch with an update from AB. We postponed the afternoon tour of Astana for a short retreat to the King Hotel to repair some jet-lag. And we met later with B., the local director of the organization. However, by dessert time my right leg was asleep. And by the time I stood up to leave, you couldn't convinc...

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Who is Fighting for Your Heart? How many of you have someone who is fighting for your heart? Only a few raised their hands. There was an awkward silence. How can we hope to walk through life in a meaningful way and never be able to point to someone who has chosen to be our strong ally?

The Anti-Golden Compass? | Praxis
https://whipple.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/the-anti-golden-compass
An exercise in reflective living. November 30, 2007 in Uncategorized. I have recently been receiving an onslaught of Christian propaganda pleading with me to boycott this movie. I have been exhorted to speak out against the moral and spiritual horror of which it contains. I am told this is not only a good idea but my responsibility as a good Christian. Here is how one piece of literature I received is framing their argument,. There are more violent crimes like the Virginia tech massacre. So, see the movi...

Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Wednesday, March 3. Chapters in the Bible, report back to the NINJA group with total transparency. The purpose of the NINJA groups is to preserve the original DNA of passion and service for the Lord with key leaders. Some TV programs here are rip-offs of American programs. I’m so proud that the very best of American programming (aka, Reality Shows) are of such high quality that other countries can’t wait to copy them! Seriously, it&#...

Brent Thomas: Half A World Away
http://brentthomaslive.blogspot.com/2010/02/half-world-away.html
Divergent thoughts in a kind of christian way. Thursday, February 25, 2010. Half A World Away. We finished up in the Orakoy, waterfront, district in Istanbul (see pic) and shuttled off to catch a plane to Astana. Now we're officially, and exactly' 12 time zones away from Ames.Halfway Around the World! We passed all kinds of new buildings; most notably a gold crowned mosque, built by some Saudi sheik. Scattered along this route my jet-lagged brain remembers slurred descriptions of embassies, oil minis...
