Shape A Star: God showing off
http://shapeastarlaura.blogspot.com/2009/07/god-showing-off.html
Musings from a small island in Scotland. Thursday, July 02, 2009. How do I describe it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Iona, Scotland, United Kingdom. I strive to be a shaper of stars, a farmer of hope, a fisher of people, a student of paradox, a shepherd of dreams, a daughter of love, and a co-creator of life, because these are the things to which I am called. I am very often not those things, but I can certainly say that I try with all I have. View my complete profile. To glean from them some light.

Shape A Star: Buchanan Street in January, part one
http://shapeastarlaura.blogspot.com/2009/01/buchanan-street-in-january-part-one.html
Musings from a small island in Scotland. Sunday, January 18, 2009. Buchanan Street in January, part one. I was walking down Buchanan Street in Glasgow on Saturday, one of the main commercial sections of the city, and found lots of people busking along the street. For nearly the whole walk up and back down the street, I was either in sight or earshot of a street performer. A violinist / fiddler playing reels and jigs. A group of 10 percussionists with various sizes and shapes, drumming and swaying together.

And in the last few days I've been thinking about why I so vehemently dislike the phrase. Here's what I've come up with. First, the things the phrase attempts to say that I do wholeheartedly agree with:. 3 A person does have an amount of c...

Musings from a small island in Scotland. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Rizpah, my new heroine. My name is Rizpah, which means ‘glowing coal’. It is an apt name, for my passion runs hot but it is subtle. And my passion is persistent. I do not speak in your scriptures, but you can see my slowly burning passion in my actions. Early in my life I was passed around. I was Saul’s concubine before Abner took me as a pawn in his bid for kingship. I had two sons by Saul, whom I loved dearly. I loved my sons. I stri...
