https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/the-customs-of-chrissmas
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. The customs of ‘chrissmas’. None but my dear friend, Clive. In his own ingenious way, he writes about the insanity of his fellow countrymen (the backwards people of Niatirb—Britain) in their customs and preparations for what used to be a celebration of advent. Distract the minds even of the few from sacred things. And we indeed are glad that men should make merry at Crissmas; but in Exmas there is no merriment left. He replied, It is, O Stranger, a.

https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/on-the-morning-of-christs-nativity
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. 8220;On The Morning Of Christ’s Nativity”. Sweet thoughts and reverence of a Baby’s Power were transposed long ago, 1630-something, from the mind and heart of one John Milton. His poetic theology,. Hailing the birth of the King of kings,. And perspective of Jesus’ birth through the thoughts and song of the Creator’s creations,. But that’s beside the point. But it’s worth some time of rumination. To enjoy the profundity. Make Him your King. That he ...

speechlessly complaining | civitas p e r e g r i n a
https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/speechlessly-complaining
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. If you ever meet me in person, one thing you will soon realize is that rarely do my words run dry. Currently, life has left me, more or less, speechless, involuntarily cast as an extra in the script of a made-for-tv-horror film, or a really unbelievable episode of 24. Thrilling, and not in a good sense. For the director of music. A psalm of David. Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;. Protect my life from the threat of the enemy. I live in a mo...

https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/too-busy
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. Life has been extremely busy. We desperately cling to Christ as our defender, as He is all we have. I have been encouraged in remembering:.

In the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen” Eph. 3.20,21. Thanks to the geniuses at www.concentrate.org.uk. OK Now, get back to work.

nightlife. night. life. | civitas p e r e g r i n a
https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/nightlife-night-life
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. Nightlife. night. life. It’s amazing how many definitions those two little words have, both together and separately. We could classify nightlife as clubbing in Las Vegas or “painting the town red”, or perhaps working a graveyard shift or being nocturnal, literally living life at night (occasionally refered to as insomnia, something from which I do not suffer, I simply don’t go to bed at a reasonable hour…). Living life in darkness. That I may walk.

Advent of Joy | civitas p e r e g r i n a
https://expandinghorizon.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/advent-of-joy
Civitas p e r e g r i n a. Longing for heaven’s horizon. A huge sigh of relief and excitement all wraped up together. Finally, He coming. The man of the hour, God as a baby. And yet we rush around as though the celebration was yesterday and we’re somehow late. Since He was born. Herrod didn’t want kingly competition, so he killed thousands of little boys. Talk about a kill-joy. But really, how different are we? Talk about a kill-joy. Talk about a kill-joy (if you let it be). Why is it that we allow the j...
