I Need to Mature as a Man of God!
2007-10-23 22:33:00 Well, I guess in reality everyone does, but I only know myself and maybe writing some of these things down for all the world to see might give me a kick start. I know some people reading this will be able to add many more points to my checklist but I have to start somewhere and maybe others will get taken care of along the way. Here we go, my list of faults, addiction and obsessions keeping me from being 100% intimate with God and family (not in any order what-so-ever):1. Work - in my case it's not spending too much time at work, it's constantly complaining about my job, not caring about my job and making the whole house miserable about my job. It's one big punch in the gut to my Father who has blessed me with an incredible career. 2. Sports - not a huge one for me but now I have to keep checking my fantasy stats on Sundays. (not to mention biting my tongue when my loving wife roots for the Seminoles)3. Church (yes, church)- being one hundred percent involved in a church for the ...
Martin Nowak, man of God [Gene Expression]
2007-07-31 02:19:00 Carl Zimmer has a fascinating profile of Martin Nowak, whose work I have talked about before.

Man of God recalls treatment by Castro
2007-03-09 04:15:06 It’s good to see people in other parts of the country besides South Florida get an opportunity to learn what Castro is about. The Austin (Texas) American-Statesman’s website has the story of a pastor and Cuban exile who is now helping others seeking asylum in the United States: In 1963, (now 68-year-old pastor Feliberto) Pereira, along with many other clergymen, was forced to take a government job and accept the ideals of atheism and communism. “They said that religion was the opium of the nation, and pastors and priests did nothing to help the nation.” Pereira was working as a junior high school teacher when the Cuban government offered him a principal’s position in 1966 under the condition he proclaim himself an atheist. “I said, ‘No, I don’t need to be the principal. I’ve known Jesus, and I will never reject my faith or Bible,’ ” he said. “They told me that I would have to face the consequences.” Castr... |
