Raising Flags: The Start of Something Good
http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-start-of-something-good.html
Saturday, September 6, 2014. The Start of Something Good. Should I use everyday as a preaching opportunity? Is my relationship with my students most important? Can I push my students to think outside their Christian school bubble? Is it possible to even do any of these things successfully, while still trying to maintain healthy relationships outside of work? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. They make a good pair. Why don’t more of our unequal societies implode? Katherine Boo (Author’s Note:. Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity. 8220;Do you know how Satan tempted Jesus? How did he know that she had been healed? The very last verse tells you. How does Jesus deal with our brokenness? How are we going to deal with cancers and slums?

Koinonia: discombobulated
http://hlutjens.blogspot.com/2014/06/discombobulated-worth-it.html
Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. I don't think this is an actual thing, but the word *looks* like it's definition. or is it me? Like a visual onomatopoeia. L o n g. short and TALL. complicated AND simple. jumbled. This is what I get for not writing in far too long. Maybe it's what paradox does to you when you don't talk about it. So, let's get that out of the way right here. Just to name a few. Hotbeds of paradox...

Koinonia: the pain and comfort of small
http://hlutjens.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-comfort-of-small.html
Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. The pain and comfort of small. Holiday movie season is the best. They wait and release the year's best movies all at once.which, in my logical, practical mind is not the best of ideas.what are we to do the rest of the year? Bilbo and the code breakers both need reminded (or perhaps informed), that they are small pieces of a much larger puzzle.that they are not the only, and more ...

Koinonia: March 2015
http://hlutjens.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. Yeah that's kind of what it feels like. grief does. losing your mother does. It's been two weeks. So far mostly it feels surreal. I've lived most of the last 18 years of my life without interacting with my mom on a day to day basis. it feels like I've just reverted to one of those years. one of those weeks.

Koinonia: it's been a while...and hope
http://hlutjens.blogspot.com/2014/04/hope.html
Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. It's been a while.and hope. Five and a half months, to be exact. I last posted 10 days before leaving South Sudan. My oh my. all that's happened since then! It simultaneously seems like eons ago and like yesterday. How is it that time does that.or that memory does that to time? 6100 block of Washington 2 weeks ago. Four Corners @ Des Peres and Kingsbury this morning. The current seas...

Koinonia: jumping fountains
http://hlutjens.blogspot.com/2014/06/jumping-fountains.html
Greek]: fellowship, to communicate, community, communion, association, participation, contribution, distribution, sharing. I drove by a scene much like this one this evening. Kids running around in a jumping fountain.shoots of water squirting up from the ground at seemingly random intervals and in seemingly random locations. July 12, 2014 at 9:50 PM.

Musings: I'm Grateful: The Premise (penned last Thanksgiving)
http://sunripenedtomato.blogspot.com/2015/01/im-grateful-premise-penned-last.html
Life taking on kingdom form. January 19, 2015. I'm Grateful: The Premise (penned last Thanksgiving). It seems all the rage lately, lists of things people are thankful for on Facebook, daily thankfulness challenges, people reading Ann Voskamp's book. And whyever not? Amid all the struggles and challenges of life, there are simply mountains of things to be grateful for. Why not take pleasure in them as much - if not more - than we wallow in (or complain about) the difficulties? What's in a tense? The Omniv...

Musings: Break, Planes, and this African Life
http://sunripenedtomato.blogspot.com/2015/01/break-planes-and-this-african-life.html
Life taking on kingdom form. January 16, 2015. Break, Planes, and this African Life. We were to leave by a 12 seater MAF flight that would pick us up on Mundri’s airstrip. The airstrip that is across town, about 30 minutes by car given the pitiful road. We never know when it’s going to come until the morning of. At 9:15 am we call the MAF office and they give us our ETA. Generally speaking, that’s anytime from 11 to 1. You gave us a 3 minute warning and we live 30 minutes from the airstrip! One stop in Y...

Raising Flags: He Walks Among Us
http://jennifer-raisingflags.blogspot.com/2014/08/he-walks-among-us.html
Friday, August 15, 2014. He Walks Among Us. Written by World Vision leaders Richard and Renee Stearns. This book is just what my heart has been yearning for, given the doubts I have recently had about the importance of missions work. Here are some samples of his work (sources: World Vision Magazine. An orphan in Zambia prays over her meal. Sponsored school children in Rwanda. Rwanda during war time. Women working in Rwanda. Rehabilitation of child soldiers in nothern Uganda. Health outreach in Honduras.
