Outside Looking In: On Chronos, Schole, and Kairos
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-chronos-schole-and-kairos.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. On Chronos, Schole, and Kairos. I have looked and looked at the title I assigned this post. Really hoping that when you readers see it, it doesn't sound like "On Dasher, On Dancer On Prancer." in your minds. Now on to the purpose of this blog. I'm so weird, I know. After doing a little digging, I learned that there are three different words for "time" in the Greek language: Chronos. Which refers to the natural passage of time. (where we get our word chronological. It makes me sad ...

http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2014/03/reflecting-one-year-with-cancer.html
Thursday, March 20, 2014. Reflecting: One Year With Cancer. So 11 months later, they sent him to Vanderbilt University in Nashville for surgery. Surgeons there successfully removed the remainder of the stubborn tumor in the liver. They removed 70% of his liver and 25% of his colon. And today, while Dad is recovering from a difficult surgery.he is cancer free! Thanks be to God! The keen eye and ear you develop for anything that resembles Hope is amazing. You will learn that your phone will ring, your emai...

Outside Looking In: Journey to Election Day, 2012
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2012/11/journey-to-election-day-2012.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. Journey to Election Day, 2012. It’s been a long journey to tomorrow’s election. For the campaign workers. I was just a child when I first felt a spark of interest in political figures. I remember sitting in our family room, scooted up as close as I could get to one of the giant speakers on our stereo system (amazing to remember the size of those things now that we have it all on little bitty ipods! And listening to President Ronald Reagan in his debate against Walter Mondale.

Outside Looking In: This Isn't About a Bunny
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2015/05/this-isnt-about-bunny.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. This Isn't About a Bunny. This is the kind of post that I hesitate to share, because the likelihood is high that a reader could entirely miss the point and the true heart from which I share it. I will tell you now, that if you read this and find the focus to be on me or some kind deed that I have done, then I have not done my due diligence in writing the story. And it's not even a story about a bunny.but the bunny is where I'll begin. For weeks now, Bunny has been my driving compani...

Outside Looking In: A Thanksgiving Blog.
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving-blog.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. As I reflect back on my life, I can testify with certainty that that is the case with me. I have sensed that marking on me my whole life. Most of the time I consider it a blessing, other times.I'm not so sure! To which I was held. May you have a day of bountiful blessings and loved ones to share them with! Thanks for getting me thinking along these lines! Such mercy and grace seen in our life stories and such a responsibility to share those blessings. Love the new look! Persona...

Outside Looking In: Copy-Cat Blogging
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2014/03/copy-cat-blogging.html
Monday, March 10, 2014. I'm stealing the Daybook idea from my friend, Kimberly. Because I just really want to blog again, and this gives me a good way to get the ball rolling. :) So, without further ado, a look into my day. For the first time in a long while, there is sunshine. Ah, sweet sunshine.finally melting away the last remaining clumps of ugly hardened snow. I need sunshine like I need air. When it's been too long, my whole world suffers. Apparently, there is some controversy/question over whether...

Outside Looking In: From My Heart, for Pastor's Appreciation Month
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2013/10/from-my-heart-for-pastors-appreciation.html
Sunday, October 20, 2013. From My Heart, for Pastor's Appreciation Month. We moved to Florida while I was still very young, and what an awesome thing it was to be a child attending Children’s Church at Hobe Sound Bible Church at that time! I can’t turn to the book of Philippians even now, without remembering the time he spent teaching that book. We honor his memory and the place he will forever hold in our hearts. Ironically, he left KY for AL! We still miss him and his wife Nancy! I would say “her...

Outside Looking In: My Ebenezer
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-ebenezer.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. This has always been far and away my most favorite "holiday" of them all. I love everything there is about Thanksgiving Day.the food, the family, the fellowship, the focus, the traditions. It's good to have a day to pause and reflect on the goodness and blessings of life, even though sometimes November rolls around and life isn't treating us particularly well. There is always something for which to be thankful. During this Thanksgiving Week, however, I have been thinking ove...

Outside Looking In: We Are Making This Too Hard...
http://tara-bleperson.blogspot.com/2012/08/we-are-making-this-too-hard.html
Friday, August 3, 2012. We Are Making This Too Hard. I've decided to write some thoughts and share them regarding the recent and ongoing "scandal" involving Chick-Fil-A, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and what I consider to be a gross over-exaggeration of a simple situation. Then you are unwelcome to do commerce here." Ding ding ding! We have a winner: THIS IS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG.Notice it was the entrance of government in the discussion. They always muck it up. All Americans who v...It's just...
