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. 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...

Nancy's Apology: November 2004
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Friday, November 12, 2004. Fingers in the Pie. I have to teach firstday school tomorrow. It’ll probably be just my kids who show up. Someone else is bogged down in report cards, another family is too tired to come out, another is taking a leave of absence to deal with family matters. The others have all stopped coming because of our chronic lack of space. Sigh. Yeah, it gives a whole new spin on the idea of intelligent design! God giggling as s/he whirls the universe to expand&...

On Being Convinced: Random Notes
http://onbeingconvinced.blogspot.com/2007/04/random-notes.html
A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. My lack of posting had less to do with lack of time than lack of anything to say. Or rather, I've read what must be the equivilent of a graduate course in Quaker studies over the past winter and I'm still digesting what I've read: as they say, the more I read, the less I know. But, as Carl Sagan said, that makes God very big. If the end purpose of Creation is humanity, why would God bother to create this immense universe over such time? View my complete profile.

On Being Convinced: Last of the Summer Tomatoes
http://onbeingconvinced.blogspot.com/2006/09/last-of-summer-tomatoes.html
A new Friend seeking meaning and Light. Last of the Summer Tomatoes. It's either feast or famine. In the winter we all pine for real tomatoes and eat pallid greenhouse versions that could really double as tennis balls, now I have hundreds, maybe thousands of perfect, bright red, fragrant, vine-ripened. . . Well you get the picture. It's a glut. And the frost is coming sooner rather than later. So what do you do with bushels of tomatoes? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
