All That I Can't Leave Behind: My sisters
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-sisters.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. September 10, 2014. I never had any sisters and I'm sure I'm the poorer for it. But I have always had a strong connection to, admiration of, and affection for women. I've had tremendous women as mentors and role models throughout my life. I've probably had more female friends than male in my adult life. And for a debilitatingly straight guy my age, that's unusual. That I knew I must write something and just trust others would understand that I can't choose everyone. Besides...

All That I Can't Leave Behind: My Facebook face
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-facebook-face.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. August 31, 2014. I hope I don't give people the wrong impression of me online. I don't think I'm Captain Spiritual. I'm not the wise old man. I don't know all the answers. I don't have any more of a connection to God than the next believer. I love God because He first loved me. And He doesn't love me because I'm a good guy but in spite of me not being one. My life is not all pithy sayings. I write down and post profound ideas when they occur to me because - frankly - I ...

All That I Can't Leave Behind: Find new heroes
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/06/robert-f.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. May 10, 2014. Robert F. Kennedy once said, “What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.". If your political heroes spend more time vilifying their opponents than they do explaining the virtues and examining the costs and benefits of their own philosophy, you should probably look for a different set of heroes.

All That I Can't Leave Behind: Hope
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/03/hope.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. March 19, 2014. When was the last time you prayed for hope? Hope gets maligned in much of our culture as simply a refuge for the passive. That's usually a sentiment held by people who have never had their lives broken to the point where they had nothing left to them but hope. Remember: Hope is one of the top three gifts of the Spirit, right up there with faith and love. 8232;It's not a punchline. It's a gift made possible through the cross. Wednesday, March 19, 2014.

My Sweet Home in Alabama. History, memories, thoughts, ideas, family, and favorites. Monday, February 17, 2014. I might add another point to her article. If two people don't invest in each other enough to block off some time to actually see each other and talk on a regular basis that might be a red flag. Texting can be done at almost any time. Is it really saying that I don't have time to talk to you without other distractions? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends and Fellow Bloggers.

My Sweet Home in Alabama: "Blatant" Religiousity?
http://mikewx.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-am-not-speaking-on-alabama-supreme.html
My Sweet Home in Alabama. History, memories, thoughts, ideas, family, and favorites. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. I am not speaking on Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore's behalf nor against him. Sometimes he seems "out there" with some of his statements and I am concerned about his motives. But the author of this petition is ignorant. Since when is being "religious" akin to a crime? Alabama is very nice place. Nice blog i like this post. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

All That I Can't Leave Behind: The Fruit of Civil Discourse
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-fruit-of-civil-discourse.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. June 29, 2015. The Fruit of Civil Discourse. This post was written during the days immediately following Obergefell v. Hodges. The Supreme Court decision declaring same-sex marriage constitutional. Many of my Facebook friends are openly asking, "How should I respond to current events? I have friends on the far edges of both sides of the political and theological divide. I am often maddeningly centrist as far as they are concerned. C'est la vie. First I must respond with LOVE.

All That I Can't Leave Behind: Influences: Star Trek
http://packthesuitcase.blogspot.com/2014/09/50-in-50-star-trek.html
All That I Can't Leave Behind. September 08, 2014. Today is the 48th anniversary of the first broadcast of Star Trek. In 1966. It seems a fitting day to celebrate the influence the show has had on my life. Yes, you read it right. My life. I was only one when the show originally began airing on NBC. But I did catch it when it entered syndication and was a kid during the massive explosion of popularity that Trek. The scene that first hooked me on Star Trek. I was stunned. Kirk didn't kill the Gorn? But her...
