SeeThrough: June 2007
http://seethrew.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 June 2007. I’ve joined the chorus of cars that stop outside playschools each morning to drop off kids. My son, Ruben attends a wonderful playschool near our home. His teacher welcomes him to school each morning by squealing his name from across the playground, and with a big hug. It’s a special kind of person. We love the school and are glad to leave Ruben there in the mornings. So, who is right? We won’t pursue the issue. But this little everyday misunderstanding has helped me to...Saying ...

Friday, 03 August 2007. Transparency can be scary! This "venture in honesty" could really be used to hurt me! 04 August 2007 at 10:17 AM. To some degree my work and my livelihood (if you consider a salary a "livelihood") depends on my reputation. if the people I seek to serve, and lead, find my honest views offensive, my ability to serve and lead them would be undermined. Ok, so some people might write me off because of my views in an ethical debate. not such a huge problem. but i'm thinking abou...Your ...

Sunday, 22 April 2007. One of my close friends is in a same-sex relationship. she and her partner intend to marry later this year. their home church (which I was previously a part of) is struggling with the question of whether to host the marriage service. There are a complex set of reasons, but let me mention two main reasons. One is that the denomination in question has threatened to discipline ministers who perform or bless same-sex unions. Another is that. It would be pointless for me to deny this...

Monday, 30 July 2007. What do you ask of me? What do you require? Do you want my money? Do you want my time? Do you want my attention? Do you want my hands? Do you want my heart and my mind? How have I filled my life with things, so that my hands were not free to grasp the thing you offered? How have I filled my life with noise, and missed hearing your voice? How have I filled my life with business, and didn’t accept your gentle gracious invitation? What do want from me, Lord? What do you require? One ca...

Thursday, 24 May 2007. Talking with people of other faiths. I was recently asked to participate in a meeting where senior leaders of the various major faiths, along with a secular humanist, spoke about spirituality from their perspective. The Mufti, Siraj Desai spoke about Muslim spirituality - the quest to reconstruct the link with God. He said that Islam is "not a religion, but a way of life.". Read my presentation here: Christian Spirituality.doc. For a pdf version). Monday, 21 May 2007. My experience...

SeeThrough: getting started
http://seethrew.blogspot.com/2007/04/getting-started.html
Friday, 13 April 2007. I've had a Task in my Outlook Task-list for some time now. it has no Due Date for completion. it's just one word: "Write". So i've decided, after some months, to get started. There are a few values that have begun to shape my life. i find myself increasingly committed to them. lately i've been feeling that i'd like to write about them. For me, thinking comes after speaking - I speak before I think! Some of the things i'd like to write about and explore are:. So, I expect that i wil...

Saturday, 22 September 2007. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I find the whole idea of a blog a little pretentious actually. I mean, why would you want to read my rather opinionated thoughts on things that I think are important? Anyway, my humble reasons for wanting to write and even engage in conversation with others are here: getting started. View my complete profile. This is a Flickr badge showing public photos from life in the greenhouse. Make your own badge here.

Saturday, 18 August 2007. The end is the beginning. After a long and meaningful relationship with Blogspot (you gotta love the price! I have decided to move over to WordPress. A couple of reasons:. I needed webspace to upload podcasts/mp3's of sermons and teachings etc. Also, WordPress has a cool functionality that facilitaties easier reading and commenting. So from now on you will find me at seethroughb.com. Look forward to connecting with you there! Friday, 10 August 2007. Blog Adam posted a reflection.

SeeThrough: getting bumped
http://seethrew.blogspot.com/2007/08/getting-bumped.html
Friday, 10 August 2007. I can't remember ever being asked to leave a church. Mostly I was the good kid earning the prize for 100 attendances. Recently I have been enjoying a fairly engaging conversation with Nate. Blog Adam posted a reflection. So I'm wondering, why did we get bumped? Are we using up his webspace? Are our comments/conversation not the purpose of hosting a blog? Are our comments and perspectives, or just the robust nature of the conversation embarrasing to Adam? 11 August 2007 at 5:24 PM.
