"I am convinced that if Jesus is who he says he is, than my life is intertwined with everything that breathes."

Amen.

I am convinced of that too (I even think my life is intertwined with all of creation, even the parts that don't breathe). It is too easy in our culture, it seems to me, for us to fall into the trap of thinking that we have a relationship with Jesus that is merely personal.

Looking forward to your posts...

I was about to boldly admit a pretty big mistake, hiding my identity using the method you suggested. But even with that protection I chickened out. What I was going to admit might strike some folks as being no big deal, and it's very unlikely that anyone who would be truly upset by it would ever see the comment and connect it to me. But I still didn't have the guts to do it.

So I suppose that proves your point.

Thanks for sharing this. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a great time to promote awareness of things like Magdalene Community and Thistle Farms. Will share.

I hate being asked to answer questions like that. Worst of all, I cannot recall ever being required to disclose my ethnicity in a situation where my ethnicity should matter. In the last few days I attended an agricultural expo and obtained a library card. On both ocassions the registration form required me to identify my ethnicity. Why???

I really look forward to the day we don't practice this form of bureaucratic segregation.

Thanks for the thought-provoking post.

Me too. Haven't we had enough of the usual fare?

I seem to lead several lives. I'm a farmer in Keeling, Virginia, an attorney in Tampa, Florida and a student in Orlando Florida.

U2 not a Christian band? Bono not a Christian?? I honestly didn't know there was even an argument for this. An honest argument I mean.

The talk Bono gave at the National Prayer Breakfast a few years ago is awesome, and awe-inspiring. As is their music. Or most of it anyway.
