left coast culture.: August 2012
http://leftcoastculture.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Wednesday, August 8. Henri J.M. Nouwen has been my favorite theologian for the past ten years. And it's not only because he's Dutch. Although that does make him naturally good looking. But with new struggles in life, Nouwen's words of consolation and healing have taken on new meaning and have been a source of comfort during these past few months. Below is a quick daily meditation from Nouwen that continues to speak into my soul. Posted by: Joe Elenbaas.

When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Wednesday, October 21. I will not fear.". Thomas Merton, from Thoughts in Solitude. Every day I pray that I will be used for God's will. This is a heavy concept to some, but I have faith that God placed me in the hear and now for a greater good. Every one gets lost, confused, and afraid. Merton's quote here reminds us that God is with us in the hard times. Posted by: Joe Elenbaas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Site you should see. View my complete profile.

When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Monday, November 3. Tomorrow, we will elect the next President of the United States. The result will have great consequences for the nation. This election offers a choice between two men with dramatically different visions of the future. We have strong feelings about this choice. But we feel even more strongly that all Americans, regardless of political preference, have a stake in the outcome and should vote in this critical election. Posted by: Joe Elenbaas.

When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Wednesday, September 30. Greenlake super group suggestions. Like I mentioned in the intro email for our EastLake Group. I believe. Revolutions Espresso and Bakery. Would be a ideal location to meet due to it's size and fact that we could get loud and crazy without the baristas caring. Revolutions is located in the bottom floor of The Greenlake Condo building. Posted by: Joe Elenbaas. Thursday, September 3. Pilate asked him, "So you are a king? The best part...

left coast culture.: June 2008

When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Friday, June 13. Review: Into Great Silence. The monastic life-style has always intrigued me. From the self-discipline of daily rituals to the stripping away of everything one owns, the faith and dedication a monk uses is noble and true. Or maybe the attraction lies in the fact that you get to dress like a Jedi. I would probably best the psychology… but definitely not the silence. German filmmaker Philip Gröning. Time passing through an hourglass. The filmi...

When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Tuesday, November 10. You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:13. That loving God with everything you have was the most important, following that up with the gem above coming a close second. Posted by: Joe Elenbaas.

left coast culture.: Life/Death
http://leftcoastculture.blogspot.com/2013/05/lifedeath.html
When you pray, move your feet. African Proverb. Thursday, May 2. Listened and watched a wonderful podcast and powerful documentary short today. The subjects reflected on life and death, respectively. The first is from my favorite podcast called Radiolab. The episode is titled 23 Weeks 6 Days. And chronicles the story of a couple whose daughter was born extremely prematurely. Questions upon questions are delved into surrounding the miracle of birth and the struggle of life. The video is a 30 for 30.
