Jesus and the promise of Christmas

jesus-freestone-flickr“When the Christian holiday dominates the culture, sometimes oppressively, a newspaper column may not seem the most appropriate venue for personal reflections on the meaning of Jesus. Yet even as Western civilization has been nourished by religious and philosophical traditions that have nothing to do with Jesus, it has also been profoundly influenced by the memory of this man. It can be more than merely sectarian to ask, Who was he ?” > more.

Advent and Christmas

flyingnikolaus-joshunterHave a closer look to what christmas means. It’s not the Coca-Cola-Santa-Claus, whom we owe christmas. It was more something like a small child, that came from outside our imagination into this world with all its disharmony and questions. > more.

Transparent Christmas Story

christmasstory-izarbeltza-fl“As the sun gleaned off the hood of his metallic blue 2004 Toyota 4 Runner, Conner Bentley still wasn’t sure why he agreed to come back to White House, Tennessee, (his home town) for the Christmas Concert.

The request to do the show was delivered in such a strange way, and his band ‘CB Radio’ hadn’t played a show since the incident at the local coffee house. He wondered if Annie still had her job at Casablanca Coffee… man he really missed her, especially around Christmas.” > more

    Psalm 147 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His und […]
  • A different kind of Mormon
    It seems that there are Mormons, and then there are MORMONS, or so I’ve heard. Then, my friend says, there are “different kinds of Mormons.” This past week I talked to a friend whom I haven’t seen since 2008. I love this friend — we struggled through some very trying times together, and we learned much about ourselves and one another during the years when we […]
  • Sacred Space
    It seems that most people are fully occupied in mind and body for at least six full days each week. Up early and late to bed, multi-tasking all the way through. Then comes Sunday. A day historically and culturally set aside for rest. For many, it is a day of spiritual rest. For others, it is a day to walk the dog, spend time at the beach, wake up late and si […]

He even went as far as telling the people that they should not allow Hezekiah lead them to believe God would deliver them, the gods of the other lands had been “helpless” when Assyria took the lands. When Hezekiah was told about all t […]
  • swings and roundabouts
    A post about nothing much. So I’m struggling a little in work. I can’t settle. I have one eye perpetually on alternatives and of course, now that I’m working, there are suddenly interviews and little side-projects aplenty. Of course there are…famine or feast, eh? It’s only now that I am back to work and have something with which to contrast my office that I […]

    I’ve never posted a prayer request on my blog.. but I feel compelled to ask you to pray for my Mom. She is 90..blind and in a wheelchair.
