Our Shalom: Why I Am Not "Sitting Shiva"
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/04/why-i-am-not-sitting-shiva.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. Why I Am Not "Sitting Shiva". My father, Marty Newman, died three days ago on April 12, 2015. He was 90 years old when he breathed his final breath. I am not "sitting shiva" this week, even though our family is Jewish and we want to be respectful of our traditions and customs. Jews "observe shiva" for the 7 days after a loved one dies. The purpose is to grieve and mourn the loss of the person, and is marked by several acts:.

Our Shalom: My Diverse Interests
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-diverse-interests.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. Last week someone commented on the many and diverse involvements that I have. It is true that I do a variety of things, and I hope they are with purpose and intention. So here is an overview:. 1 I care about diversity of culture, beliefs, and lifestyle. And the intersection of all of this. This is the impetus behind The Isaac-Ishmael Initiative. Which I began four years ago. 2 I care about equity economically and socially,.

Our Shalom: The Season Called "Fallow Ground"
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-season-called-fallow-ground.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. The Season Called "Fallow Ground". I tried to find an interesting or exciting photo of a field lying fallow, i.e. fallow ground as it is called. I could not find one. I guess that's the point really! He went on to say that the sooner I embrace this season the better I can live in it. I did not like the guy much at that moment, but only because he was right! I am indeed in a season in my life of fallow ground,. What is happening ...

Our Shalom: Reflections on a Paris Peace March
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/01/reflections-on-paris-peace-march.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. Reflections on a Paris Peace March. Consider some paradoxical thoughts about the peace march earlier this week in Paris, in the aftermath of the attacks in that city. 1 Everyone wants peace for themselves. Even anarchists want to live in a secure and safe environment. The peace march demonstrated this primal urge;. 2 Some evil acts cause enemies to build a bridge to stand against the evil;.

Our Shalom: Leadership ConneXtions
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/p/leadership-connextions-international.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. In 2006 I partnered with Brian Rice to launch Leadership ConneXtions (LCI), a non-profit 501c3. Our vision was been to empower leaders around the world who are otherwise under-resourced. Since 2008 Brian and a team of people (mainly based out of Pennsylvania) have developed this vision and have traveled to various parts of the world to equip and mobilize key leaders who in turn influence larger groups of people.

Our Shalom: Measuring "Greatness"
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/06/measuring-greatness.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. One of the "bizarre" paradoxes in the world is how greatness is measured. We often measure it by whoever finishes first, whoever has the most money, or who is the most powerful. The first shall be last and the last first,". Said Jesus to his followers who were elbowing each other out of the way for positions of power. Now THAT is different! Today we measure success, influence, and "greatness" by new and unique measures:. There i...

Our Shalom: Tonight is Purim
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/03/tonight-is-purim.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. Tonight is Purim, the remembrance of Esther in the history of the Jewish people. You can read the heroic story in the book of Esther in the Old Testament. A short article in Patheos recently asked the question, Who are the Esthers Today? It is an important question, but not only because of the rise of anti-semitism in Europe and elsewhere. So I also want to ask, Who are the Esthers today? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Our Shalom: Beware: Persian is Not Arab
http://ourshalom.blogspot.com/2015/04/beware-persian-is-not-arab.html
Where God's Shalom Meets Our Reality. CAUSES I INVEST IN. Project I See You. Beware: Persian is Not Arab. It goes against my philosophical and theological framework to speak as I am about to regarding Iran, and the proposed nuclear agreement being brokered with Western powers. Hoping to point out three factors or dimensions to this issue that the Obama administration appears to be avoiding or ignoring. Persians are not Arabs. Understand the Power Structures. Iran is Expansionist via Regional Influence.
