Texas Piglets: Take Off the Judicial Robes
http://texaspiglets.blogspot.com/2009/07/take-off-judicial-robes.html
Take Off the Judicial Robes. Take off the Judicial robes, God doesn't need your help.'. Jesus made it very clear, He really did not leave us any 'wiggle room.'. Stop judging." (Matthew 7). It's really risky business, it's like walking on thin ice.eventually, we will crash through the shaky foundation of our wrong assumptions. It's really sneaky, isn't it? We tend to judge another Christian in two areas - their MOTIVES and their CHARACTER. Amazingly, we tend to do this with very few facts! What Did She Sa...

I will lift up my eyes: June 2015
http://iwillliftupmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 7, 2015. A different kind of culture shock. Milk in a bag (also, it doesn't need to be refrigerated before opening). I asked the girl working there if they had boxes to keep a bag of milk in once it was opened. She looked at me as if she had no idea what I was talking about. I explained a little more, "you know, so it doesn't spill when it's in the fridge after you open is". "Oh! I bought a one liter plastic pitcher with a lid. That seemed like a better solution to me). I love Jesus, love to...

I will lift up my eyes: January 2015
http://iwillliftupmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. This Christmas, there was a paradox I couldn't quite wrap my mind around- The God of the universe as a baby. Tiny, dependent, defenseless, vulnerable. The more I thought about his vulnerability the more beautiful it seemed. I don't risk vulnerability unless I want to be known, unless I deeply care about the person I am vulnerable with. See me. Know me. Love me" is the heart-beat of vulnerability. And here was our God. As a baby, vulnerable. A God who wants to be known. Let us kn...

I will lift up my eyes: November 2014
http://iwillliftupmyeyes.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Longing for the sun. My "winter blues" treatment plan. But since then, I've only caught a glimpse of the sun 3 or 4 times, peeking out from behind the clouds. I may or may not have squealed, "my shadow! In case you're fooled by that glowing, lighter area in the clouds, that's not the sun. That's the reflection of my lamp through the window). Tuesday, November 4, 2014. And hostess of the year award goes to. . . The banana bread didn't even burn. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Corni...

I will lift up my eyes: May 2015
http://iwillliftupmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Vignettes from My First Weeks on the Job. The room is crowded with 30 teachers, all sitting on small student chairs, hunched over low tables. There’s a buzz in the air, as they all work intently on their news articles. Two of our facilitators are leading a workshop on teaching writing in the elementary classroom, and now teachers are practicing a technique they’ll be encouraged to use in the classroom. As they finish their articles, they step to the front of the room. The facilitat...

I will lift up my eyes: House hunting- Pana style
http://iwillliftupmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015/05/house-hunting-pana-style.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. House hunting- Pana style. So, you ready to go look at houses? My coworker asked me, unlocking his motorcycle after our meeting last Friday. House hunting I was sure about, riding a motorcycle not quite as much so, but I clambered on the back and off we went. As we reached the road along the lake I caught my breath. The volcanoes were rising up on the far side of the lake, their triangular peaks cutting the sky. There happened to be a 2. Then, in the afternoon, I walked around until ...

mind the gap: My life since my last post
http://stevorama.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-life-since-my-last-post.html
Man is not a balloon going up into the sky, nor a mole burrowing merely in the earth; but rather a thing like a tree, whose roots are fed from the earth, while it's highest branches seem to rise, almost to the stars." -GKC. My life since my last post. This past weekend, my good pal and I headed up to NYC for a quick weekend trip. We saw lots of stuff and made our first respective trips to Little Italy. There are some good eats to be had there! It's true. You just have to look for them. Posted @ 7:42 PM.
