2ndThoughts: September 2010
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 09, 2010. On burning books and taking revenge. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?

2ndThoughts: October 2013
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. OK, I'll throw this out there. The problem is that I don't think we are addressing the real issues in this. Discussion over affordable health care. But here are some more of my thoughts for what they are worth. Julie Borowski has her opinions about the Affordable Healthcare Act and expresses some of them via her YouTube channel. You can see her comments here. What if all the "old people" had the same attitude toward the young and healthy? What is adequate health care? It seems...

Saturday, May 15, 2010. Pablo Picasso's Weeping Woman. Sometimes I weep. I know that there is so much wonder and energy, so much grandeur and nobility, so much that is amazing and awesome and inspiring. and yet so much of all that is lost to me. to us!

2ndThoughts: July 2015
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. On being an immigrant nation. Immigrant nation" Has a nice ring to it. Until the next group of immigrants show up. But is "immigrant" the right term to use to describe how our nation came to exist? Can we turn back time? Can we undo what we have done? Can we ever make amends for the atrocities that we perpetrated against original inhabitants of this land? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Just another guy making his way through space and time.

Monday, May 06, 2013. I came across this piece some time ago and for some reason I can't remember or fathom I don't have the. Author's information. (Though this sounds a lot like something Kim Fabricus would write.). The precursor of the human smile was the caveman’s savage grimace (Angus Trumble, A Brief History of the Smile. P 3) The invention of dentistry is the main difference between this threatening grimace and the polite social convention of the modern smile. Somehow the appellation ‘man of ...

2ndThoughts: June 2011
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Have you thought about what you treasure lately? I have been presented with that question several times in the past month or so. What do I treasure. Right now I'm trying to remember what I treasured as a kid. What were those special items I stored away in the top drawer of my dresser or in that little box I kept hidden under my t-shirts and socks? What have I treasured through the years? What do I treasure today? I will be living with this question for awhile. Some blogs I visit.

http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Someone mentioned to me a book and an accompanying "primer" written by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay. There book is titled "The Tangible Kingdom" accompanied by "The Tangible Kingdom Primer.". Here is an excerpt of what Reggie McNeal writes in his Forward:. Recently I walked by a "church" that was holding "services" on a Sunday in an upscale community in Northern California. Organ music drifted out of the open doors, spilling onto the streets where passersby made their way t...

2ndThoughts: December 2012
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 01, 2012. One of those awkward moments. I've done my share of hemming and hawing when I've come back to the story of the rich man and Jesus in Mark 10:17-31 (Matthew 19; Luke 18). Here is a sermon by Kim Fabricius posted on Faith and Theology. Of course when I do hem and haw over this encounter it's because I am indeed in the shoes of the rich man! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! I've always read this story and placed myself on Israel's side of the song until a few ...

2ndThoughts: August 2010
http://more2ndthoughts.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 04, 2010. The End of History. When did history end for you? Is there a "moment" that you remember and wish it could be that way forever? Or are you perhaps living that "moment" now either consciously or unconsciously? Or are you one of those restless ones who keep looking for a better tomorrow or are discontent with the way things are? Naiveté and at worst a betrayal of the truth represented in the final form of things. But have we reached the end of history? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
