I’ve been excited to see John at Ancient Hebrew Poetry writing about Job 28. Even when I don’t follow it all, there are things he says which make a lot of sense to me and give me new and exciting insights. I appreciate his translations and the explanations he gives with them. So far he [...]

The Night Before
Posted in Prayer, Relationship with God, Sadness and suffering, emotions on October 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I have learned the story of Martin Luther in bits and pieces. Those glimpses are always deeply challenging to me in ways that are hard to express in words. From what I have seen, he was a man who experienced intense emotions, trusted God fiercely, and followed Him passionately and sometimes waveringly (and again, I’m [...]
Communication minus intimidation

I am an introverted feeler, who happens to think a lot. I like to hear what other people are thinking and learn from that. I can’t always keep up, but that has never stopped me from listening and wanting to learn, and interacting internally with what I learn.

Although I was just a babe in arms when they were going strong, The Second Chapter of Acts is a musical group I have grown to appreciate. In fact, I think I probably like them better now than I would have if I had been old enough to listen to their music when it was first performed [...]

Lingamish has a very deep and moving CyberPsalm today–a prayer for hurting and broken and struggling missionaries.
His commentary at Lingalinga and the dialogue that follows is also good. Lingamish shares a prayer request for a spiritual retreat for missionaries going on, Peter Kirk gives some thoughts on a bigger perspective (which reminded me of 2 [...]

Posted in burnout on October 4, 2007 | 4 Comments »
“Does it take what you’ve got before it gives what it gives you?”
That’s not really a million dollar question, but I call it that, because it gets close to the bottom line of my decision making process these days. With burnout, I tend to weigh any activity in terms of energy–energy it takes to do [...]
