Taking Up Space: Divine Comedy

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2005/11/divine-comedy.html

Know more than you say. Friday, November 18, 2005. All the world's a stage,. And all the men and women merely players:. They have their exits and their entrances;. And one man in his time plays many parts. From Shakespeare’s As You Like It. It strikes me that this is something that makes (or should make) Christians very odd. Since we have read the script and know the outcome, how do we keep ourselves from laughing 24 hours a day like Paul did: Where, O death, is your sting! God moves in a mysterious way.

Taking Up Space: December 2005

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Know more than you say. Monday, December 05, 2005. Have you ever thought about what it means to grow. My problem with this is not that it’s wrong to have a well thought out theology or a commitment to behavioral holiness. It is, however, mistaken to think of those as the sole parameters of the spiritual life. When we do, we end up drawing the parameters tighter and tighter. Using the word growth to describe this is something of a misnomer. Posted by ds at 6:06 PM. Taking Up a Different Space.

Taking Up Space: May 2005

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

Know more than you say. Friday, May 27, 2005. I was surfing the fundamentalist web when I came across the most fascinating tidbit. Guess what the F. Walvoord stands for. Flipse! Is that not the coolest middle name ever? Here's the internet proof (. Http:/ www.walvoordhistory.com/John%20Garrett%20Walvoord.htm. Just in case you don't believe me. Our beloved Dr. Walvoord was given his mother's maiden name as a middle name. I guess his parents were early feminists. Posted by ds at 1:46 PM. Intolerance is the...

Taking Up Space: A Good Saturday Morning

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2005/11/good-saturday-morning.html

Know more than you say. Saturday, November 12, 2005. A Good Saturday Morning. The book is called Proper Confidence: Faith, Doubt and Certainty in Christian Discipleship. By Lesslie Newbigin. If you know me, you’ve heard me talk about Michael Polanyi, the 20. A few weeks back, my friend Jon (who also introduced me to home roasted coffee) wrote an interesting piece for his blog. I wish I had read Newbigin’s book at the beginning of the process. It is chock full of pithy Polanyian language.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Announcing a BIG Change to the Fall 2009 Photoshop Workshops! It has really been a blessing to me.".

Two Day Intense Workshop. Last Sunday was great!

Taking Up Space: Christian Nation?

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2005/10/christian-nation.html

Know more than you say. Thursday, October 13, 2005. My Pastor gave a message based on the line in the Lord’s Prayer, Thy kingdom come. That got me thinking about how unamerican Jesus is. We tend to think that the best form of government is democracy, but here Jesus is telling us to pray for the imposition of a kingdom. The Christian Right is sort of famous for claiming that the. Was founded by Christians on the basis of Christian principles. But is the democratic ideal a Christian ideal? Thanks for the c...

Taking Up Space: Watching Grass Grow

http://ockhamshave.blogspot.com/2006/10/watching-grass-grow.html

Know more than you say. Saturday, October 14, 2006. A couple of pastors were working on a computer presentation recently and found themselves spending (wasting) a bit of time staring at the little hourglass cursor while the computer was caught in some eternal loop of logic. One of the pastor's said, "When we get to heaven, I don't think we'll spend any time staring at hourglasses.". Posted by ds at 9:47 AM. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
