The Words of Tall Pants: February 2006
http://tallpants.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
The number one internet travel destination for those walking the line between profundity and absurdity. Monday, February 27, 2006. The Profound Simplicity of Sabbath. The first thought in my mind after lunch was that I did not want any interaction with others for a while. I sensed that God had some business with me. I sensed a need to truly keep a Sabbath, if even for an afternoon. Intimate. Profound. Simple. Posers, Fakers and Wannabes: Unmasking the Real You. Posted by Andrew Gates @ 4:42 PM. My brothe...

pursuing peace: April 2009
http://abbyseeland.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. ps. thirty-four fourteen. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. I just wanted to share a poem that recently became the lyrics for a song Tim and I recorded together. The poem came out of a time of weakness a couple weeks ago. I hope you enjoy it. You said love, You said peace. My eyes saw stains upon my heart. You said there's grace, You said I'm free. And still I stay, and still I grieve. I knocked myself down to the floor. Before You could raise me up. My pray...

pursuing peace: September 2008
http://abbyseeland.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. ps. thirty-four fourteen. Monday, September 15, 2008. Drama, love, and maggots. My eyes casually browsed the salmon-colored pages of my syllabus while the professor lectured on class absences and participation. Group project: 12% of final grade. I suppress a sigh and begin to scan the room for possible “group members,” hoping that my smart, hardworking friends have not already created a posse without me…. I have never liked group projects. But actua...

https://ibenthinking.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/john-perkins-on-loving-our-neighbor
My Year in Books →. August 4, 2010 · 1:43 pm. John Perkins on Loving Our Neighbor. John Perkins is probably one of the most important Christian leaders that most of the white evangelical world has never heard of. He was beaten and nearly killed during the Civil Rights movement, he is a champion for the cause of the poor (and more specifically, living among the poor) and he’s created space for interracial healing and dialogue through ministries like CCDA. And Voice of Calvary. And came across these words:.

pursuing peace: joy?
http://abbyseeland.blogspot.com/2009/07/joy.html
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. ps. thirty-four fourteen. Thursday, July 2, 2009. Joy One very un-tangible thing. And something that I do not understand most days. Here is what I wrote on my typewriter last week. As I walked downstairs to my room, I pondered this question:. On a given day, that is free from tragedy or extreme ecstasy, I can choose to think about hundreds of wonderful things or many terrible things about life. Is it really something like peace, trust? So that was...

pursuing peace: November 2008
http://abbyseeland.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. ps. thirty-four fourteen. Sunday, November 23, 2008. I started listening to Christmas music earlier this year, in hopes of preventing Christmas Day disappointments. I don't mean a shallow sadness, it runs deep and almost aches. It isn't the presents. I like giving them away. It isn't the cookies. I am allergic to them. It isn't the trees, they are evergreen all year long. just not inside my home. It's the Light. it's Jesus. I long to be near Jesus i...

A Robust Theology of Creation. A Redeemable World →. July 1, 2010 · 3:11 am. NT Wright on Jesus as a Moral Example. I’m reading N.T. Wright’s. Which is a call for the church to rethink discipleship as putting on the virtues and learning the habits of God’s Kingdom. This discipleship begins not by imagining Jesus as our moral mentor, but by heeding his call to take up our cross and die. Here is an excerpt:. Jesus, a kind of religious mascot. We look at him approvingly and decide we’ll copy him (up t...
