Thoughts on Genesis 17-28 (If you’re just checking in, this is part of a Read the Bible in 90 Days adventure that I’m doing with friends. Join us.) 1. Abraham’s blessing rests on him keeping Yahweh’s way in “doing righteousness and justice” Genesis 18:19 2. Lot offering his 2 daughters for gang rape is tremendously disturbing Genesis 19:8 3.

Wonky Wednesdays: Brownies, Brooklyn, Best of Lists I want to fix you some Mascarpone Brownies. Right now. A girl from Brooklyn comes out of the closet and admits she’s a Christian on Salon.com. (Great article.) Amy K. (She Attacks With Love) offers her smart top 10 music finds of 2009, replete with You Tube videos. While you’re at it, here’s Thrice’s recent Daytrotter […] No responses January 6, 2010
Last Thoughts on Genesis 1-16 I wish we still named our children (or nicknamed our friends, for that matter) with a prophetic word, speaking over people what we dream God will do through them (5:29). I love these parts of the Bible where it’s mostly a mystery. Enter: The Nephilim. (6:4) Makes me want to read more Madeleine L’Engle novels. […] No responses January 6, 2010

I feel I have been given permission from my education to ask bigger questions of Scripture. (That is a freeing feeling, you know.) Here is a Preface to the notes I will scribble […] No responses January 5, 2010

Reading through the Bible [with Friends] Late last summer my friend Janneke sent an email to our house church that basically read: I want to read through the bible with you people. Let’s try to do it. Let’s try to do it in this crazy 90 day plan that I just found. So a couple of us went for it. It […] 3 responses January 4, 2010

Hope’s Daughters I believe in a Hope that is an active Mother. “Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” – Augustine of Hippo [ Holga, I did not take. By Schoeband ] One response January 2, 2010
“Why don’t you think of him as the one who is coming” “Why don’t you think of him as the one who is coming, who has been approaching from all eternity, the one who will someday arrive, the ultimate fruit of a tree whose leaves we are? What keeps you from projecting his birth into the ages that are coming into existence, and living your life as […] 2 responses January 2, 2010
