Spear's Sphere: How Deep is the Well?
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-deep-is-well.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Wednesday, January 9, 2008. How Deep is the Well? A Letter to my Church. Monday, 12.24.2007. I realize you don’t know me, but my name is Tim Hassel. And you’ve been a part of my family’s life for several years through the prison’s Angel Tree project and I would like to thank you on behalf of my children, James and Victoria and myself. My next question is that I’m about ready to be released back in the community on 5.15.2008. Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP). He wi...

Spear's Sphere: The Ramona Falls
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2009/01/ramona-falls.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. The blue skies and clear view of Mt. Hood which towered 8000 feet above our heads were welcome sights. It has been an extremely wet winter – actually a snowy winter where we were now walking - with patches of snow three feet deep at elevations barely above 3000 feet - and just a week shy of May. I walked toward the bridge at the base of the falls, lost in the moment of such superb beauty. Joe and Nathan laid him carefully in the seat,...

Spear's Sphere: March 2008
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Question, Seek, Find, Grow. My best attempt to answer all the people asking theological questions. About the book "The Shack"). When I was young I would often go into the living room with big questions for my Dad to answer. 8220;Dad, can a person lose his salvation? 8220;That’s a good question. What do you believe Jonathan? 8220;I think he can.”. 8220;Why do you believe that? What does the Bible have to say? The greatest compliment you c...

Spear's Sphere: Don't Mess with my Christmas
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2007/12/dont-mess-with-my-christmas.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Friday, December 7, 2007. Don't Mess with my Christmas. Is it really better to give…? 8220;It is more blessed to give than to receive.”. There is not a one of us who has not heard these words. Usually the guy who quotes this is wanting something from us revealing the fact that he actually believes that it is more blessed to receive. Otherwise, why is he not giving to me – if indeed it is so blessed to give? I dare you to go find this verse in the Bible. Why?

Spear's Sphere: November 2007
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Friday, November 16, 2007. Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.". We owned a couple thousand acres just to the west of Meridian Creek. Just across the creek, our friends and neighbors, the Eastmans, owned an almost identical farm of 2,000 acres. We grew the same crops and raised the same animals. They had 4 kids, the same ages as the kids in our family; problem was, the one my age was a. I saw Mr&#...

Spear's Sphere: The Ultimate Runner's High
http://jonathanspear.blogspot.com/2008/05/ultimate-runners-high.html
Musings and thoughts from Jonathan Spear. Friday, May 2, 2008. The Ultimate Runner's High. I just came across this old story from a few years back. But with the recent events in Tibet I thought it might be of interest to those of you who are really bored. The Ultimate Runner’s High. Runners are a different breed. And there is this fundamental question that they can not satisfactorily answer. Why? Marathon number two - - There must be something more. This joker had to sign up to run the Pike’s P...How cou...
