In late 2013, we will reach the $1.5 Trillion mark in spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’re adding about $2 billion more to that total each week. These wars are now the second most expensive in US history (only World War II cost more). How much money is $1,500,000,000,000? How much is even one billion? Seconds to pass.). Some creation...

Archive for August, 2012. Humility and Empathy: two keys for peace education. August 26, 2012. Sharing given at Plains Mennonite Church 8/26/12. Today is the last of our peace story series. I’ve found these stories to be very helpful. A huge part of my mission as an Anabaptist educator in the social studies field is peace education. How do we pass on to the next generation a commitment to walking in the way of shalom? Humility gives us patience, changes our self-centric worldview into a much wider context.

How much is even one billion? How long does it take for a billion seconds to pass? Seconds to pass. (Contrast this with only about 11 days. Seconds to pass.). OK, we’re 1/1,500.

Archive for February, 2015. Family Lenten Calendar 2015. February 17, 2015. The following website has some resources to help, but we don’t follow their calendar exactly. The main point is for all of us to make Bible reading a Lenten discipline. The person assigned to the day is to get some interaction going with an observation, a question or some other related reflection. Nothing big! Two ideas: supper time or bedtime.

Fiscal Cliff Notes | Jff4justice's Weblog
https://jff4justice.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/christmas-letter-2012
December 31, 2012. By Jeff Hackman, 12/31/12. So, apparently we’re about to go over the fiscal cliff. It’s easy to find some big dollars to save. I know the military is not the only part of the budget that is large and full of waste. To put that in perspective, if you spend $100,000 a DAY, it would take you over 2000 years to spend what the taxpayer spends each year garrisoning the planet! 160; Do the math! 160; It’s actually a few centuries over 2000 years.

E taught US history since learning that I am distantly (very distantly) related to General George Armstrong Custer. Conrad Custer (1695-1772) is an ancestor of mine.* Conrad’s children are in my tree. Conrad’s father, Arnold Custer (June 6, 1669- 1739) had other children with another wife. One of those children is the ancestor of Gen. Custer. Learning that I have this minor and distant connection h...
