The Bible is Relevant. : Flannery O'Connor and Violent Grace
http://thebibleisrelevant.blogspot.com/2015/03/flannery-oconnor-and-violent-grace.html
The Bible is Relevant. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Flannery O'Connor and Violent Grace. To Flannery O’Connor, grace was a violent thing. Not a solemn walk down a church aisle or a hushed prayer, but a bullet. A bull’s horn. A suicide. You won’t find her in Christian book stores, though you may have read one of her stories in college. Her goal in writing fiction was clear:. Her characters are grotesque. Her religious voice is unconventional. She’s kind of my hero. What must come before grace? With this mor...

I love those Christians. They took time to tackle Pearcey’s doubts. 8220;But who do you say that I am? And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and ...

The Bible is Relevant. : Idolatrous Expectations & Pinterest Wedding Shrines
http://thebibleisrelevant.blogspot.com/2015/01/idolatrous-expectations-pinterest.html
The Bible is Relevant. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Idolatrous Expectations and Pinterest Wedding Shrines. As a teenager, I read my fair share of Christian romance novels. They were full of dramatic plot lines, sexual tension, one room school houses and Canadian Mounties. The leading men were imperfect but in a tousled and endearing sort of way. They always knew what to say. All the female characters were beautiful, but distressed ,. The reader plenty of drama. Each story ended with a sigh. This blogger re...

The Bible is Relevant. Sunday, November 30, 2014. A Choice in Suffering. My soul is weary with sorrow;. Strengthen me according to your word. When Brittany Maynard opted to end her own life (via legal, doctor-assisted suicide) at the beginning of this month, I was going through a trial. Surprise and anger over my situation were soon replaced by sadness. Comments about Maynard’s brave choice. Made me wonder: what would it feel like to have power over pain? After reading this, one word came to mind: choice.

Canning Rabbit | Jarring Life
https://jarringlife.wordpress.com/2015/06/29/canning-rabbit
Finding time to preserve good food and good memories. June 29, 2015. Well, I have canned deer, (lots of deer), lamb for an article, lots of chicken, squirrel, pork, ham, and now…Rabbit. Dad butchered the litter than our doe came with, plus a couple freebie rabbits he picked up at a flea market. All together, there were seven rabbits to process. I took all the meat out of the water and into another pot so it would cool. Next, I used the same broth that I boiled the rabbit in to cover the meat. Wait until ...
