Christian or Christ-follower? «Daily Grider Daily Grider

https://dailygrider.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/christian-or-christ-follower

Tuesday, Aug 17 2010. One of the first things I want to address in discussing different terms is what the word “Christian” means. Christians love to wax philosophic on the original meaning of the word, the Greek, and then think they are more sincere or “relevant” when the describe themselves as “Christ-followers.”. I want to offer a few suggestions:. 2) Everything in 1, but actively participates in religious services at least occasionally. This is also pretty broad. It has the component of free c...3) Pe...

A New Shape «Daily Grider Daily Grider

https://dailygrider.wordpress.com/2010/07/16/a-new-shape

Friday, Jul 16 2010. I know not many people have likely stuck around my blog this long. For those that have (or will return), I want to thank you! On a more Grider-related note, I graduated June 12 (yes, over a month ago), in a ceremony that can best be described as the best graduation to ever take place in a thunderstorm. I received a bachelor’s of science from the University of Chicago. It was a pretty great day. A picture of Grider is in the next post. July 17, 2010 at 06:48. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

The Chapel of the Ascension. Friday, May 1 2009. 8220;You want to go into the church? A gruff accented voice calls out on the Mount of Olives. It’s Monday- the shadows are beginning to lengthen and an enterprising tour guide wants to make his last sale of the day. 8220;You want to go in? Our small band of four American students crosses the street, approaching the high wall with the door that the bellowing man stands in front of. His tone changes slightly. 8220;Five Shekel each.”. The outside of the chapel.

I Want to Blog Again! Wednesday, Feb 17 2010. So it’s been a while. A little under a year. I’ve got the blogging itch. Since this can’t really function as a travel blog any more, it needs to change function yet again. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The Armenian quarter «Daily Grider Daily Grider

https://dailygrider.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/littlearmenia

Saturday, May 16 2009. So we had a guided tour of the Armenian quarter Friday, which is pretty cool for a number of reasons. First, it was a tour by an Armenian scholar (that is, a scholar who has studied extensively the history of Armenians, not an Armenian himself). Second, while the Armenian quarter isn’t. We started off outside the Cathedral of St. James. A Fresco above the main door of St. James Cathedral. May 17, 2009 at 08:11. And any word on Eurovision? May 20, 2009 at 20:34. That is so cool!

Bethlehem (from a distance) «Daily Grider Daily Grider

https://dailygrider.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/bethlehem-from-a-distance

Bethlehem (from a distance). Thursday, Apr 30 2009. Nothing in this place is as simple as it seems. Bethlehem, “بيت لحم”, “בת להמ” You need to use all three names because all three mean something different. Bethlehem is where the Pope is going to visit in about a week and a half. It’s the place where western Christians say that Jesus was born, and that’s mostly what it means. Bethlehem. The Church of the Nativity would be visible just over the rise, I believe. בית לחם, at the edge of Jerusalem. Bayt Jala...

Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memorial Day). Wednesday, Apr 29 2009. Last night I had a very cool opportunity to go see the service for Israel Memorial Day that took place at the Western Wall. See is the wrong word. There were a lot of. Tall people in front of me. I was present however, and did manage to grab a few photos. The center of the ceremony: a flame, a half-mast flag, and soldiers. A (blurry) photo of a lit minaret. The hope of two thousand years,. To be a free nation in our land,. By Naftali Herz Imber.
