Re: Ted's Tidbits: Redefining Holiness

While were coding the gospel...

push love_for_each_other
mov edx, holiness
pop eax
cmp eax, edx
je @holyspirit

We are called to "assemble" together after all. :-)

Yep. Doing fine. Hope coding is going well for you as well. Wish you would blog more. :-)

Thanks for your thoughts. Jesus did many things that seem odd when taken out of context. When you look at his whole story, you see God trying to show us a better way to live: one of peace and submission and love.

Thanks for the encouragement Dave! I hope all is well with you.

On the flip side... Jesus cried out truth in a loud voice in pubic, rebuking sin and false teachers^. Jesus whipped money changers in his Father's house. He commanded the 12 to sell their clothes for swords (to be rebels), then healed the soldier's ear they hacked off, also rebuking the Jews' cowardice in arresting him at night. He boldly came to set even family members against each other. He hung out with sinners to tell them stop sinning and follow him instead.

That's not a bad idea. Sometimes, I'll come out of the shower and have to go do whatever it was that I thought of while I was in there before I forget it.

Ted - There was a time when I kept an underwater divers slate hanging in my shower because I got so many ideas there. Hot water - brain cells ? hmmm…

Re: Disconnecting

Wow, that's cool! You actually turn your phone off for the whole day? I don't know if I could do that. Let me know how that goes.

I understand exactly what you mean, Ted. I too have felt this need for quite some time, but had not been able to put a finger on what I was feeling. After experiencing my Spiritual Formation class, I decided to take action. In the class, it was detailed what silence and solitude have to do with Christian spirituality and I realized that's what I had been looking for (yes, this is even after chapters on these practices in our weekly group). Erin and I have started taking a Sabbath from technology (which happens to be on Saturdays as the most convenient day). So on Saturdays, I don't turn on my computer and I leave my cell phone off. We don't own a TV so that's not a problem. I found the experience to be refreshing (and also a little maddening). We also made some intentional choices about reading the Bible, memorization, and quiet time. When I connected again the next day, I discovered the world really did go on without me. :)

I'll let you know how this practice develops and evolves. I am looking forward to more updates from you on this matter as well.

Peace,

James

There does seem to be a bit of irony in Tweeting a link to a blog post about disconnecting.

Thanks for tweeting this blog post to me.

I find disconnecting very appealing myself, but don't do it often enough. The few times that I have disconnected, I have found a calm that is really nice. I can specifically remember a class retreat to Texoma a few years back that happened after a long period of 'connectedness'. It was the most refreshing thing I had experienced in some time.

Re: Distraction of The Week: Erykah Badu

When you put it like that, he just sounds like a cranky old man. Anyway, I'm not saying she should get away with anything. My point is that we already have laws covering this, and that we should just enforce the existing ones. The question Caraway should be asking is how come this happened without anyone seeming to notice until she released her video online.

Re: Distraction of The Week: Erykah Badu

Vicki G — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:32:16 -0000

Isn't Caraway the official who plunked down his own money for bill boards to tell the guys to hike their pants up? He clearly is a guy who knows when "enough is enough, " and wants you young folks (generically speaking) to quit acting like, well, young folks, or just go straight to jail. We oldsters don't think "publicity" first, we think "criminals!" Just sayin....

Great post Ted. One of my favorite observations/quotes: "It's not what Television does to you, it's what Television KEEPS YOU FROM DOING (e.g. reading a book, visiting a friend, writing a blog post). Very well-written!

Ah, my grand projects: "Les Buffet" and world domination.

When can I audition?

"I will release more Olsen twin movies"
Please don't unleash this reign of terror. In fact, shame on you for even suggesting it.

Thanks Patrick. I'm glad Google Reader's working out for you, and that it's causing you to read my blog. Now I just need to create some more content.

Imagine my surprise when, after months of lying dormant, the TedHoward.com site on my google reader shows an updated. Had it not been for you introducing me to this incredible tool, I would never have learned so much nor be entertained by your post. I am glad the canine's canines and the mutt's molars are doing better! Good post!

Hahaha.. That has got to be the most entertaining thing I have seen today. Those sheep must have been exhausted by the end of the day.

I also chuckled at the name the "shepherds" gave themselves. ;)

Look, I'm reading your blog! I should read it more often since you say nice things about me.

I can't see the video or the tilestack. But that might be the VA.

I like your article on the historic days of the internet. You're a good writer, and the only published one in the house.

Put up more pictures of Hank!

I love you!
