I quite like this by Georges Florovsky: I particularly like this statement in the text: "Salvation is completed on Golgotha [Calvary], not on Tabor, and the Cross of Jesus was foretold even on Tabor (cf. Luke 9:31) [which has interesting implications for Byzantine Christology and Harmartiology]. The...

It's kind of goofy that five months (I started this entry in December) nearly a year after I've returned from my vacation, I'm still compiling the journal entries for it. Only one more to go after this one. Anyway, ahh Scotland. Mountains. <3 As usual, had a horrible flight-in experience. Can't...
The Substitutionary Atonement. The Substitution was the ransom or the debt paid for us in meeting "the Wages of Sin" - we were ransomed to death [not the devil] through rebellion, so Jesus took our place and the debt is what we owe Jesus - as the New Adam, the Son of Man He became the debtor for us...
My dad didn't die in a war. But he served in the Army. So I use Memorial Day for him. Where to start? Usually the beginning, but where is that? I know. I'll start somewhere in the middle and work my way out Here goes: So when the 411 operator asked me which listing I couldn't remember which one it...
"Never, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're...
So, since I bought my Mac, I'm going to be selling my PC. However, back before I realized that I write better on-location (i.e. away from my house), I tried to type up some stuff on my computer, so I'm going to repost the stuff here that might be worth saving before I clear out everything else....

x Not revised. x ♥♥♥ 6/7 Current Book: American Gothic Tales edited by Joyce Carol Oates Well, I've made a vow to myself to write literally every day during this summer without succumbing to the scrutinizing pig voice reverberating at the back of my head. To be fair, it's unlikely that I'll...
So I realize that I haven't updated in awhile. Quite awhile, that is - nearly six whole months, and it is honestly so hard to believe that those six months -- both so fleetingly short and unbearably long -- have passed. As I wrote while on the road, our journey was so much more than "the glories of...
You know Paul Revere never said that. He got captured before he could get to town. Granted, he talked up the militia and put the fear of God into the British army (so our history says) but he never made it to yell that famous phrase. A guy named Israel Bissell did. I guess Longfellow couldn't rhyme...
I think the thing is that I'm really in a protracted battle against "bitterness" over the fact that she is not here. I'm always internally battling my spiritual self about this. The fact that I had such a GREAT mother for years that I did, that God granted her the time on Earth that she did to do...
Today, marks two special occasions: I officially graduate and it's Mother's Day. A co-worker stated that she thought it odd for the college to hold graduation on an already specially designated date. She waved a hand in the air and said, "I mean, what if someone's mother is dead or something? I...

Mother’s Rights It was for some time that Zakariyya, son of Ibrahim, felt attracted towards Islam although his father, mother and all the family members were Christians and he too was the believer of Christianity. Both his conscience and heart were inviting him towards Islam. At last, against the...
On Monday, we attended the wake of a friend's ex-wife. I mean no disrespect to him or to anybody else who has ever lost a loved one, but I have to be honest - I hate going to wakes and I think they're really quite strange. Where I'm from, wakes are a big deal. Relatives from far away come to pay...
