8220;Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.” (Luke 10:23). No asking going on. Monday, August 24, 2009. Saturday, January 2, 2010. Word: “Why is it you do not have? Because you do not solicit God.” (James 4:2). Wonder: There are not any “No Soliciting” signs around the throne of God. Quite the. Opposite, actually; he encourages us to ask of him, for he longs to bless us. However,. There are probably some “No Soliciting” signs posted around our heart. There are. 8220;Why is it you do not have? Who is...

That's Nall, Folks!
http://thatsnallfolks.blogspot.com/2006/10/heres-excerpt-from-something-i-read.html
That's Nall, Folks! Longing to be more and more like my savior. Trying to cut back on pizza. Monday, October 23, 2006. Here's an excerpt from something I read this morning that I'm considering for the day. Jesus makes us uncomfortable, causes us to question our daily practices. Jesus' life reminds us of the realities of suffering, hostility, hatred and resistance that often accompany any attempts at living in truth and love. Posted by Chad at 8:55 AM.

Steve's Writing: November 2014
http://steveorr.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 8, 2014. What I'm Reading Now - Part One: Graphic Chap Books. From time to time, someone asks, "What are you reading? Most people can provide a quick answer. I, on the other hand, subscribe to the Stephen King school: “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”. I'm pretty picky. It has to be excellent to get my money. But still . . . I read a lot. I call it excellent storytelling. Alt History: Manifest Destiny. TV: Angel and Faith.

Great Blogs of Fire: September 2010
http://bullmartin.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Great Blogs of Fire. What I want you to know. Which is everything. Monday, September 13, 2010. Can Jon Stewart Change America? You can fall in love with your own idea of common sense. Maybe the nice thing about being a comedian is never having a full belief in yourself to know the answer. So you can say all this stuff, but underneath, you’re going, ‘But of course, I’m fucking idiotic.’ It’s why we don’t lead a lot of marches. But we look at the world and we make a decision. Am I going to believe in g...

Steve's Writing: Triple Crown (a Lectionary reflection by Steve Orr)
http://steveorr.blogspot.com/2015/06/triple-crown-lectionary-reflection-by.html
Friday, June 12, 2015. Triple Crown (a Lectionary reflection by Steve Orr). Like all competitors, the owners, trainers, and jockeys understand that, regardless of the horse's physical abilities, they must win the mental competitions before the physical ones. For sake of discussion, let's call those mental competitions "races.". RACE ONE - Recognizing that there is a greater performance level: I like that Robert Browning quote for this ".a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? Stran...

http://steveorr.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-final-exam-by-steve-orr.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. The Final Exam (By Steve Orr). Does this ring a bell? Or, perhaps you still have bad dreams like this? All through the academic period, the instructor lectures on many, many topics. Then, the day comes for the final exam and . . . Wait. What's all this? You sit in absolute shock as you read question after question on topics you only vaguely recall. If at all. Your beleaguered brain cries out, "How can this be? Much time on stuff that, in the end, didn't help you on the Final Exam.

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. What If You Could Walk On Water? A Lectionary reflection by Steve Orr). Long before Harry Potter captured our collective attention, there was another little boy with amazing abilities. Orson Scott Card's story of Alvin Miller (SEVENTH SON) is set in early 19th century America. But not an America like we learned in school. When the story begins, the year 1776 is a few decades in the past, and it holds no special meaning for the folks living in the European colonies. Yep There it is...

Great Blogs of Fire. What I want you to know. Which is everything. Monday, January 02, 2012. The Beauty of E=mc2. Yesterday I watched an 80 minute video of an interview with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Finally, after reiterating his expertese as an astrophysicist and not as a poet, Tyson said this:. Some of the greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken it for granted.". Tyson is specifically referring to the relative simplicity in Einstein's E=mc2, b...
