http://55blahblah.blogspot.com/2011/03/stranger.html
Disorganized, random, incomplete, irregular, incoherent ramblings. Monday, March 7, 2011. When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? Once again, in a moment where I might have shown some of the sacrificial love Christ asks of us and is modeled by the early Church, I chose my own comfort and convenience. Here's the story. What if he smells bad? What if he's going somewhere way out of my way? I too will see...

Blah Blah Blah: August 2009
http://55blahblah.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Disorganized, random, incomplete, irregular, incoherent ramblings. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Monday, August 10, 2009. Tony Dungy's Quiet Strength. First, was it a compelling read? Was I anxious, in each opportunity to spend time reading, to return to the narrative? Did I wish, when it was time to turn off the light and go to sleep, I could continue reading? Second, does this book teach something? Does it impart new knowledge? Does it inspire new, different thinking? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The highway, there, is sandwiched between a steep forested mountain on one side and the Juniata River on the other. So other than the headlights from other vehicles, and the occasional dusk to dawn light, it was dark-. Dark, and the stars were stunning! There ...

Blah Blah Blah: November 2009
http://55blahblah.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Disorganized, random, incomplete, irregular, incoherent ramblings. Friday, November 27, 2009. Walking On The Beach. The very nature of Christianity, the reality that Christ takes us as we are, then begins a work of transformation of varying magnitude makes it also a reality that the outside observer will see us incomplete projects as hypocrites. We should be very cautious, as part of the Body, in applying that label, unless we have walked side by side along the beach with the accused. Walking On The Beach.
