Technology, Trust and Transformation
Thursday, June 21st, 2007I discovered a new blog yesterday - one that focuses on a topic near and dear to my heart. It’s called “When Religion Meets New Media.”
The author, Heidi Campbell, is involved with the Wikiklesia project I mentioned here about a month ago, and her blog concentrates on the religious response to, and use of, the […]
Memeries . . . (Part 2)
Thursday, June 21st, 2007In my last post, I responded to one meme with which my dear wife tagged me some time ago. The time has now come to respond to another with which she tagged me last week, “Five Things I Dig about Jesus.” Without much further ado, here they are:
1. The guy wasn’t much for convention, tradition […]
Memeries . . . (Part 1)
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007I apologize for the dearth in posting of late. I have been working diligently on a number of projects, including a revamp of my wife’s website for her violin studio, and a new website of my own designed to test the waters in the world of freelance writing. Given that web development is a hobby […]
Radical Individualism
Thursday, June 14th, 2007Some friends of ours have recently been transitioning into the tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy, and have written extensively about it here. It’s been interesting for me to observe for a number of reasons, primarily because it seems like they, along with other friends of ours, are seeing many of the same issues we see within […]
Created for Life; Created for Choice
Friday, June 8th, 2007One of the mysteries that will probably forever occupy the human mind is the question, “Why are we here?”
For a believer, this means asking the question, “Why were we created?”
Theologians have been coming up with any number of answers for as long as there has been theology - and probably longer.
If we take things back […]
An Army of Davids in the Church
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007As an avid follower of U.S. and world politics, I read a lot of politically-oriented blogs. One of my favorite is Instapundit. It is written by Glenn Reynolds, a Tennessee Law Professor. The content is right-of-center on the political spectrum, and is usually comprised of short, concise blurbs that are always informative, usually amusing, and […]
Regrets
Friday, June 1st, 2007My dear wife wrote a post this evening on the importance of regret. While this sounds counterintuitive at first, it’s quite a fascinating concept to explore. She and I worked very hard during the course of our dating relationship, and particularly when beginning to plan our wedding, to capture as best we could each of […]
Conversations with myself . . .
Friday, June 1st, 2007Our dear friend Kelly wrote a two part post on her blog “Restless Heart” yesterday, entitled “Who I Want to Be.”
It’s a great post, and her opening words struck me deepest. She says, “I tire of the constant mental/emotional energy wasted on seemingly consequential issues. I am sick of fighting, sick of division. I am […]
