My Mystic Self: Saved for what?
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2012/03/saved-for-what.html
Sunday, March 11, 2012. Several years ago, I remember sitting around with a group of socially minded Christians, thinking about how we could change the world, when one person asked if personal salvation the point of the Gospel. There was an awkward pause as we all looked at each other. Finally someone broke the silence. No? Not that this isn't an important question. It speak to our very human condition, our brokenness and need for a savior. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Mystic Self: August 2009
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. This past week I gained a new appreciation for tradition and culture. Specifically religious traditions and cultures. Every church had it's own traditions, meaning it's customs and beliefs, Every church has it's own culture, meaning they way their traditions are carried out. Sometimes they are explicitly taught. Sometimes they are unspoken. But they are always there. And the other charismatic, The Vineyard Christian Fellowship. Links to this post. Friday, August 14, 2009. There...

My Mystic Self: Eds story
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2012/02/eds-story.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. My intention in blogging for Lent was not to do it every day, but I saw this video this morning and I couldn't resist. This is a beautiful story that speaks to so many things. What is our purpose on the earth, What is the role of the church, how do we treat the elderly and those with disabilities in our society, and how do we follow Jesus.

My Mystic Self: Lent 2012
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2012/02/lent-2012.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Growing up I didn't know what Lent was. It wasn't until I moved to Boston, a heavily catholic city, that I first encountered it. One seemingly random day a guy from the accounting department walked by my desk with a black smug on his forehead. In my concerned for him let him know that he might want to take care of that. Then he explained to me what Ash Wednesday was. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). East Boston, Ma, United States. View my complete profile.

My Mystic Self: How we should speak of God
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-we-should-speak-of-god.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. How we should speak of God. Let me be honest here, although I love theology I sometime hate talking about it. To often we talk about what we know about God and we forget about what we do not know. We forget that our theology needs to leave room for mystery. This is not to say that we shouldn't vigorously defend our theological positions, but we should do it with respect for others. Remembering that we could be just as wrong as they are.

My Mystic Self: June 2009
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Most small groups are content spending each week politely discussing a topic and moving on to a new topic the next week. Not this group. My friends add the extra step of dreaming up big ways of how these new ideas can be integrated into our lives. I realize that I have been wanting complacency and the status-quo, when others are inviting me to dream for a bigger more fulfilled life. Links to this post. Saturday, June 27, 2009.

My Mystic Self: September 2009
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. There are many rites of passage in life. First kiss. Graduating High School and College. First job. I am about to embark on another. The first house. Over the past two months I have been getting pre-approved for obscene amounts of money and looking at houses twice the cost of my parents. I hope all go's well and that I get the place so I can start a grand adventure. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). East Boston, Ma, United States. View my complete profile.

My Mystic Self: Tour De Farms
http://fousty.blogspot.com/2010/08/tour-de-farms.html
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. This past weekend I took part in the Tour De Farms bike ride put on by Urban Adventours. It was a wonderful 35 mile bike ride through greater boston visiting community gardens and farms along the way. There is a lot of talk about certified organic. We were informed at one of the farms that they were "uncertified organic", meaning that they follow all the rules of organic farming, but have decided not to pay the $15,000 fee that would label them as certified.
