Monday, March 26, 2007. Thanks to my lizzy b. Http:/ www.shadk.com/. Liz sent me this link in response to my trauma post, specifically the song "I'll never understand.". End of that MPT member's story: he's okay, he was able to get out of Iraq. Another MPT member was killed within the last few months. Posted by dm at 11:31 PM.

Monday, February 26, 2007. Http:/ www.sinfest.net/comikaze/comics/2007-02-26.gif (I haven't read the blog, but I think the comic's clever.). So I was involved in this week-end conference with a bunch of evangelical Christian young adults, all fired up about social justice (yes, in this country you can be Evangelical and into justice issues). Anyway, I was all re-fired up about trade justice issues (bought my first ever fair trade pants, so HAWT! Posted by dm at 9:09 PM. Tuesday, February 13, 2007. I'll c...

consider the wind: October 2006

Thursday, October 26, 2006. I wanna study economics. Three economists go hunting. They spot a deer through the trees. The first economists says, "Leave this to me! He takes aim, shoots, and misses the deer by a meter to the left. The second economist says, "I can handle this." She takes aim, shoots, and misses the deer by a meter to the right. The third economist cries, "We got it! Explanation: A lot of economic figures or what have you are based on averages.). Posted by dm at 9:25 PM. And this one's for...

consider the wind: June 2006
http://considerthewind.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 28, 2006. There are no straight lines in nature. Or in my life]. Sometimes things fit better if you break them first. Sometimes things that are already broken are beautiful if you fit them together with other broken pieces. Two days in Barcelona have taught me to love Gaudi. What shameless audacity his work shows, and yet it's still so practical. Posted by dm at 10:16 PM. Monday, June 26, 2006. Incidentally, Englad won yesterday. Go England! Posted by dm at 11:52 AM. Ive been struggling w...

http://considerthewind.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 28, 2006. Things that make me go "hm.". John Howard Yoder makes the distinction between a pacifism that simply advances the claim that it can achieve what war promises to achieve, but do it just as well or even better without violence, and that (to him authentic) kind of faithfulness that is willing to accept evident defeat rather than complicity with evil. ". Posted by dm at 11:43 AM. Monday, July 24, 2006. Posted by dm at 9:35 PM. Thursday, July 20, 2006. Posted by dm at 10:10 AM. They are...

consider the wind: September 2006
http://considerthewind.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 30, 2006. Now the above is just me paraphrasing from one person, so please, go ask someone Muslim how they understand the love of God, because I can't actually speak for that. But I'm just mentioning what he said because it touched me surprisingly to be reminded of God's prodigal love for me and the whole world. And he asked, "how much can you carry? I was giddy from the smell of bread and the generosity of strangers all the way home on the bus. Posted by dm at 6:40 PM. I only realize...

consider the wind: August 2006
http://considerthewind.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 23, 2006. I've put off writing anything since I got back because it was so intense, I don't know where to start. I spent 10 days in the middle of nowhere with 13 other people, and we started by thinking our way through a theological basis for a peace and justice stance and then spent the rest of time meandering through many different people's real-life expressions of such a faith. The picture: How many peace activists does it take to read a map? Posted by dm at 12:04 PM. The Sufi poetry...

consider the wind: January 2007

Sunday, January 28, 2007. Anthem - leonard cohen. The birds they sang. At the break of day. I heard them say. Don't dwell on what. Or what is yet to be. Ah the wars they will. She will be caught again. The dove is never free. Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. We asked for signs. The signs were sent:. Of every government -. Signs for all to see. I can't run no more. With that lawless crowd. There is no drum.

consider the wind: December 2006
http://considerthewind.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. For the New Year. This is a day of new beginnings,. Time to remember and move on,. Time to believe what love is bringing,. Laying to rest the pain that's gone. For by the life and death of Jesus,. Love's mighty Spirit, now as then,. Can make for us a world of difference,. As faith and hope are born again. Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,. Step from the past and leave behind. Our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,. Seeking new paths, and sure to find. Brian Wren, 1978.
