John 15:16
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
This seems like an apt reflection for the day.  For a while now, I […]

I’m not quite sure if this is the Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Peace, or the Statue of Duuuude…. :)

Teaser Photo

April 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Here’s just one of the many, many pictures that I took over the weekend.  I do not have a great zoom, and was sitting quite high in the stands, so the picture is a little fuzzy (digital zoom will do that).
It was amazing!  It was great!  I need a thesaurus for my superlative adjectives!
One day, […]

It Will Never Happen Again

April 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, as usual, I was up late and too tired to pack for our trip before I went to bed.  I figured that I would just get up early (as I am used to do) and pack then.
 So, of course, I slept in.
 However!  I still managed, somehow, to be showered, dressed, and packed one hour […]

A New Examination of Conscience

April 15th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I haven’t come across this one before!  I found this examination of conscience here:
1. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Do I fear being poor, in spirit or otherwise, and prefer to be rich in money, brains, or influence?
Is my desire for poverty of spirit congruent with my lifestyle?
Do […]

That’s Not What I Meant

April 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It can often get amusing when your dictation software confuses your medical dictionary with your theological dictionary:
“I said, ‘anastomosis,’ not ‘a nasty Moses’!!!”

Well, it has certainly been a while since I posted any of my reflections from the Little White Book.  Have you guys missed my random musings?  :)
LWB, Saturday 4/5
Today, we talk about the apostles being in the boat in the Sea of Galilee as a storm is going on, and how in the midst of […]

Go Ahead, Push My Buttons

April 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Okay, I read in OLGC bulletin that there was going to be a talk on U-M campus entitled “Why Liberals and Feminists Should Be Pro-Life” and decided to stay a little late at work and head over.  There was so much in that talk that I could blog about, but for now I’ll just comment […]

Most Ridiculous Thing I’ve Heard All Day

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
