Made You Think
http://madeyouthink.blogspot.com/2006/03/inspiration-i-wanted-to-share-two.html
What made me think today (or, recently). Monday, March 13. I wanted to share two quotes I found today. First, "It may be that the most interesting American struggle is the struggle to set oneself free from the limits one is born to, and then to learn something of the value of those limits."- Greil Marcus (cited on Blogora. Citing Fra Giovanna.). Posted by Jessica @ 8:26 AM. Comments: Post a Comment. View my complete profile. Subscribe to Made You Think.

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. What I Did Post Operatively. Lest it be understood I have spent the entire past two months necking with Morpheus and watching police procedurals and The Best of Mother Angelica Live! I actually did some writing (though not enough), read a great deal, did work on various Friendly projects - - enough, I think to keep from going completely buggy. But as a sabbatical from work, it has a lot to be desired. Some things I learned:. And " Did thee yield? Links to this post.

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. Christian Love and Language. I'm always struck how easily other Quakers on the 'Net explicate their faith; I feel tongue-tied and strangely inarticulate in comparison. When I wrote a little about my discomfort with Christianity expressed a couple of posts ago, it was really a crude rendering of a subject that for me is exceedingly complex - - very apparent to me when I reread my posting. I am afraid of this language which I associate with hate and exclusion. Ye...

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. I'm not a bad blog writer, just a clumsy one. Which is to explain my long absence from this place. I had expected not to be writing much here, in the first place, being spring and all: May and June are busy months for any serious gardener, and I had several hundred plants raised carefully from seed, to go into the ground. Lesson #1: Baseball is a dangerous game, after all, and I'm not twenty anymore, either. She said to me, "What a rich life you have! Another lesso...

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. As I was writing today, my partner called out: a coyote was in the barn paddock! We ran outside. The chickens and ducks were in an uproar. The coyote loped into the barn and we managed to corner it inside an old manger. What to do? Buried on page A15 in the. But because many villagers were willing to give them food, shelter — even sons for the fight — in exchange for freedom from the local authorities. Evidently, the Canadian government is upholding unjust governan...

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. Confessions of a Bad Blogger. So I am a very bad blogger: I haven't posted since - - ack - - July. Part of it is the ruined shoulder. It seems I passed the summer either in pain (and I mean a lot. Of pain), or at physio, or at work. And tempus fugit. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Unwavering Bands of Light: Staying awake to God
http://unwaveringbandsoflight.blogspot.com/2006/05/staying-awake-to-god.html
Unwavering Bands of Light. Meditations on Quakerism, Christianity, and how we manifest our divinity as God's children. Staying awake to God. I am relatively new to the Bible, so it is easy to catch my attention with a good bit of scripture that I've never heard before. You can almost see my ears perk up and my tail start wagging. "Ooh, something smells good over there.". So it was with the first article in the newest Friends Journal. At that point, I started giggling. In meeting for worship. I know f...

Unwavering Bands of Light: Suspenders, stomachaches, and the articulation of leadings
http://unwaveringbandsoflight.blogspot.com/2006/05/suspenders-stomachaches-and.html
Unwavering Bands of Light. Meditations on Quakerism, Christianity, and how we manifest our divinity as God's children. Suspenders, stomachaches, and the articulation of leadings. About a month ago, I started giving away clothing by the bag-load. A few days ago, I cut the collars off of three solid-color, long sleeve shirts. Whenever I find a ride to my local Goodwill, I'm buying suspenders and switching from jeans to black pants. Shouldn't the awareness of God come from inside, not outside? I don't neces...

A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. Humbled by Chickens; Some Thoughts on Eary Friends. I am certain there is a message in this. On one hand or else received tradition and Act of Parliament in the form of the 39 Articles on the other. Three things to consider:. Persecuted for directly attacking the basis of the 17th century church and state, and on matters that might be thought of as "peripheral" to core Christian doctrine, an indication, to my mind, of their importance. Even to us. Early Friends cha...
