This might sound pessimistic, but it just doesn't seem as if we're (the Church) is getting anything done. I don't see a lot of love or compassion, and rarely do we read about the church reaching into the human gutter of sin and puling people out. J

NOTHING

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:58:00 -0500

"Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a 'Declaration of Independence', or the statute right to vote, by those who never dared to thin

Numbers, Nuts, Numb.

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:31:00 -0500

Kim over at Emergiblog has a great way with words!! And this time she is reminding us that nurses need to provide empathy because it's what our patients expect from us. If we don't, we are likely apathetic and God help us all if we get to that point

Democracies In Trouble

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:05:00 -0500

It would seem that our democracies in Canada and the U.S.A. are not the only ones ailing - especially with regards to the increasing - and successful - assaults on our privacy and civil liberties ... all in the name of the false God of Security.Inde

Backsliding

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:13:15 -0500

. . . I may make beads tomorrow. Or perhaps not. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Any time I think about melting glass, I get this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach, closely followed by an anxiety attack. A huge part of me does want

It's not just apples and oranges.....

Oh, I know you've heard it before. "She's just depressed." As if anyone can be "just" depressed. And it's said like it's all just a mental thing. (Around here you'd hear that pronounced "thang". It sorta works with this topic.) Well, the problem

Grief and Goals - Who Cares

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:47:52 -0500

Yesterday was a roller-coaster day, both figuratively and literally. Wes took the children to Six Flags for the day, while I was at work. The YL18 and YL19 are visiting from out of town, and don’t have season passes, so we planned to use ou

I’ve Let My Blog Go
