Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead...: Lights Out
http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2009/10/lights-out.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. The other day I popped into to local library to check out a book. While I was there I logged onto the public computer to check my e-mail. Boom! Instant darkness. The monitors were blank, and all the patrons let out a collective, "Awww" along with a few whispered expletives. Their mother arrived (she had been in the restroom when the lights went out- oh, joy) and although she had been down a l...

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead...: Christianity's Biggest Mistake
http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2011/07/christianitys-biggest-mistake.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Thursday, July 14, 2011. I read this post. From Chad Holtz at his site, "Dancing on Saturday". Christianity’s Biggest Mistake. Jul 13, 2011 by. It’s not our buddying up with empire under Constantine. It’s not our acceptance of the myth of redemptive violence, launching the Crusades and countless other imperialistic wars of conquest. It’s not our long history of patriarchy and subsequent subordination of women. That if po...

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Worse Than I Thought. The sore throat I've had since Monday morning. which I thought was the result of screaming too much on behalf of the Saints the night before. is actually acute bronchitis on the verge of pneumonia. glad I didn't wait another day to start antibiotics :0.

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead...: God always protects?
http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2009/06/god-always-protects.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Sunday, July 12, 2009. God always protects. In a previous post. About taking my then three-year daughter to the doctor, I speculated about what that divine protection could look like. That episode helps shed a little light on the subject, but makes it seem that God is always behind our pain, or that there is a divine/ultimate purpose for our pain. My reaction is, "No! There is plenty of painful evidence that he doesn't!

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead...: God Always Protects
http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2009/05/god-always-protects.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Friday, May 1, 2009. The Bible claims that "God is love" and "Love always protects", therefore God always protects. The typical reaction is, "No! There is plenty of painful evidence that he doesn't! When my daughter was three years old I took her to the pediatrician for a MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccination. Was I protecting her? Had we not gone through these present day (and past) painful experiences we would n...

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead...: Making God's Day
http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2009/06/making-gods-day.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. I used to read the account of the great Flood in the Bible, the story of Noah and his family, and see an angry, fuming God. It's not there. God was grieved and sad. This is just one example that God has emotions and his heart is stirred by what we do. One of my favorite authors, John Fisher. That God would ...

Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Thursday, October 15, 2009. The Spirit of God Dances. I love this piece by one of my favorite authors, John Fischer. At The Fischtank :). His favorite dancing places are those where the keepers of the dance don't want Him to go, like on smoky stages with microphones that smell of whiskey. The Spirit of God loves sinners and dances best where life spills out on the floor. Occasionally He dances on the clean, sweet-smellin...

http://pastorjimthompson.blogspot.com/2007/08/jimbos-gumbo_08.html
Foresights: looking forward to what lies ahead. Random musings on life and ministry. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Gumbo, by definition, is “okra stew” but, ironically, there is no okra in my recipe because I only like fried okra. Feel free to add okra when you’re cooking. It’s your pot, throw in what you like. It should, however, include the Cajun Trinity: onion, bell pepper and celery.). 1 medium onion, chopped. 189; cup green onion, chopped. 1 bell pepper, chopped. 189; cup celery, chopped. 6 Remove from...
