Witless Brevity: An Attempt at Celtic Prayer
http://witlessbrevity.blogspot.com/2007/03/attempt-at-celtic-prayer.html
Friday, March 09, 2007. An Attempt at Celtic Prayer. Towards the holy Father. Towards the loving Christ. With the gentle Spirit. As I seek to know. The One who is unknowable. As I seek to love. As I seek community. With the Holy Community. You seek me out Yourself. And make Yourself known to me. And make me to love You. And make for me a Holy Community. I cannot even take a step,. The goodness of the Creator. The salvation of the Son. The presence of the Holy Spirit. I am surrounded by shrouded mountains.

Witless Brevity: April 2007
http://witlessbrevity.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 20, 2007. Jesus Camp", Shame and Fundamentalism. I just watched Jesus Camp. And one word sticks out for me: shame. Speaking of shame, I don't want to vilify the specific people who were portrayed in this movie. Instead, I would like to ask broader questions about what should be taught to children, both in the church and in the home. Or, perhaps more foundationally, how is your theology different than that which was portrayed in the film (or is it? Wednesday, April 04, 2007.

So i'm wearing these jeans and a little second grader walks up to me and says, "mr. j, are you bustin' a sag? The inkwell rhythm makers.

Witless Brevity: March 2007
http://witlessbrevity.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 29, 2007. When confronted with grief, what do you do? I do what I think a lot of men do, I kill it or I run from it. Grief is not safe, it's not masculine; I've got to get away from it as quickly as possible. Diffuse it with a joke, or maybe with optimism. Or maybe with a sense of futility - I can't change it, so why should I feel it? But what am I so afraid of? And if you are with me on this, what are you so afraid of? What does a tear, especially in front of someone, cost you? And make ...

Witless Brevity: A deeper pursuit
http://witlessbrevity.blogspot.com/2007/03/deeper-pursuit.html
Wednesday, March 07, 2007. So when we want to excel still more, when we desire to seek hard after God, what is our role? Where do our efforts come into the scheme of things? How do we surrender our desire to know God more intimately and let Him draw us in? Where does discipline and focus, and self denial, sacrifice, etc. come into play? How do we let go of our relationship with God and trust that He really means it when He says no one can snatch us out of His hand? How many sentences can I write without ...

In search of a title. You can only come to the morning through the shadows." -j.r.r. tolkien. Wednesday, June 13, 2007. What hit home just a bit deeper today. I learned a little more about how broken the world is.how the dignity within us is violated and crushed so deeply and how so many people are lost in their ruins.i felt the strong desire to detach from what i experienced today in class. The Sunday after there was laughter in the air. Everybody had a kite. They were flying everywhere. In the middle o...

In search of a title. You can only come to the morning through the shadows." -j.r.r. tolkien. Sunday, September 9, 2007. Desiring the redemption of a relationship that has broken into pieces when the other is gone never to return hurts much deeper than the hounding desire to have everything back to the way it used to be.
