Friendship

☧ Friendship is a major part of human life. It is in our nature to have friends and to build a community with people that we enjoy spending time with. Friendship can bring great joy, a fulfilling sense of trust, and unwavering support in times of crisis; but since it is a form of love, … Continue reading Friendship

To Fulfill What Had Been Written

☧ Last night, we celebrated the Lord's Passion. We read the Passion story according to John, and in his account, he mentions "fulfillment" on five different occasions. As we were reading this, it re-occurred to me how prophetical this whole ordeal was and must necessarily have been. But even more, it occurred to me what … Continue reading To Fulfill What Had Been Written

Sheol and Lent

☧ Sheol is a Hebrew word in Judaism which describes the place where those who have died are congregated; it can be translated into English as "pit" or "abyss"1, and is described in the New Testament (in Greek) as Hades which is then translated into the English word "Hell". In short, Sheol is equivalent to Hades which is equivalent to … Continue reading Sheol and Lent

Premonition Has Two Sides

Premonition I’ve wanted to do one of these daily prompt posts ever since I started this blog - sometimes I look at it, write a few lines, hit a roadblock, and delete everything. Well today is different; I’m going to write about this one. The word today is “premonition”. Now, I won’t try to pretend … Continue reading Premonition Has Two Sides

The Wounds of Humanity Don’t Belong to Us

☧ There is no doubt there is suffering in the world. Indeed, it's very nearly the defining quality of life on earth. It is through the broken hopelessness that touches each one of us that we are dragged into spiritual desolation. This oppression knows no boundaries; it does not respect the class system, wealth, race, … Continue reading The Wounds of Humanity Don’t Belong to Us

Quiet Desolation

☧ The following text was written by Lucie Christine, the pseudonym of the French mystic, Mathilde Bertrand-Boutlé. It tells of an experience of desolation that is somewhat difficult to notice. While not a state of complete and utter hopelessness, what she describes is a state that could be considered complacency, but it's deeper than that; … Continue reading Quiet Desolation

Okay… Maybe Not That Many Swear Words

☧ In my previous post about Listening to Music with Swear Words, I discussed how listening to music with swear words is an okay thing to do. At the risk of making things worse or more confusing, I'd like to follow up with a bit of a clarification: I'm arguing that listening to a song … Continue reading Okay… Maybe Not That Many Swear Words

Listen to Music with Swear Words

☧ Yes, you read the title correctly - no, I did not forget a word. Yes, I may be wrong about this - no, you don't have to agree with me, but I think that listening to music with swear words and adult themes is an okay thing to do. Update: I have published another … Continue reading Listen to Music with Swear Words

Unsatisfactory

☧ Life is unsatisfactory. There's no two ways about it; it just is, and the fact that there's no way out of this condition is even more unsatisfactory and frustrating. Everyone feels this feeling. No matter how much money we make, no matter what kind of car, boat, house, or whatever we have, there will … Continue reading Unsatisfactory
