What?s Normal?
2008-06-06 15:15:00 Parableman roots out the philosophical basis of arguing the relativist view of “everything/nothing is “normal”". This is no ivory tower conversation, however. It hits home for many, and for Jeremy, in particular, when he says, “it’s not surprising that I’m going to find Fish’s comments on autism to be the most unhelpful ones I’ve ever ...

Something Beautiful, Something Good
2008-05-12 16:58:00 First, I have to tell you: I love baskets. I especially love handwoven baskets infused with ethnic style. I also love a good cause, and what is better than combining the two? Now I have to tell you what I discovered and share it with you. You might know I exercise at Curves, usually three times a week. This past week there were some baskets on display. Not just any baskets, but well made, graphically gorgeous baskets. As I said, I have made it a habit to inspect this type of basket, and price them… buying something if I can afford it. My latest purchase was a really fine bowl basket made by Micronesians which I bought in Maui. I also love seagrass baskets made in South Carolina and sold along road side stands. There is something earthy and attractive about the blend of beauty and utility in a handwoven basket! Anyway, I asked about the baskets on display. A tiny one with a perfectly fitted cover and a large bowl shape with a striking black and tan design. The owner, having... More About: Beautiful , Good

Make Meaning Matter
2008-04-28 19:30:00 If you took a peek at the “God-gadget” you know just how bad Christian kitsch can get (oh, btw, Christians aren’t the only ones!). I love reminders of my faith and inspirational utilitarian objects as much as the next person. Really! I think these things can be done well and with meaning, but there has to be something of discretion in how we get our message across …even if we are the only ones the message is intended for. Ever heard the term “profane”? Yes, well, some of this comes pre-t-t-t-y close. And unfortunately some of that profanity gets somewhat laughable. We are supposed to be sober, which does not mean to take ourselves seriously. How about taking God seriously and the sanctity of His message? That might be a good start , and it could circumvent some of these truly awful cultural bloopers. That was awful, not awe-full, friends, unless we are simply flabbergasted by the absurdity of it. Maybe this was one reason the ten commandments in... More About: Meaning , Matter , Make
