Comment on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: A Contemporary Guide to Fuller and Less Rushed Life by dkeating90555a14d1

https://life-tension.com/2024/08...

Thanks for sharing! I’ve had our family copy on the nightstand for several weeks, but I think I’ll take your suggestion to read it this weekend and keep a note pad handy to capture my reflections.

Judah: The Plot Mover

https://life-tension.com/2024/06...

Judah as Plot Mover If you have spent much time in a church for Sunday sermons, read Bible stories aimed at children, attended a VBS, or have a general knowledge of well-known Hebrew Bible stories; you have heard the story of a man by the name of Joseph. He seems to be cast in the … Continue reading Judah: The Plot Mover

The Year of Diff

https://life-tension.com/2024/01...

For 2024, I want to focus my time more intentionally on developing big changes by incremental and daily disciplines. Toward that end, I've picked a theme: "diff", a comparison between two states that may be nearly identical or substantially different.

Rushed Family

https://life-tension.com/2023/12...

My coming of age happened just in time for me to vote in 2016. (Can I leave a Yelp review on years?) I was sufficiently disillusioned with the reliability of human goodness that I supported Bernie Sanders as a countercultural candidate – a decision that has haunted me ever since, as there are people in … Continue reading Rushed Family

The (Implied) Shepherd

https://life-tension.com/2023/12...

There are mantras and truisms aplenty about the difference between actions and words. There’s perhaps one I know of (“the pen is mightier than the sword”) which claims words as the more impactful of the two, though I think only because of the actions brought about by thoughtful writing. Many more speak to the weight … Continue reading The (Implied) Shepherd

There Is No Other

As a heads up since I don’t normally talk about recent events, this post is a discussion about the recent conflict in Israel and Gaza. I won’t get into details of the recent or historical events, and I won’t make any declarations about the morality of either or both sides.

Advent

Going into the last quarter of the year, I think it’s important to talk about one of the most important tensions in our lives as Christians: Advent. The season of Advent is a time of meditation on the fact that we live between Jesus’ first and second coming. Its traditions focus on this tension – … Continue reading Advent

The Christian Tradition in Babylon

https://life-tension.com/2023/09...

In The Bible is for Everyone, I spent some time thinking about the long, long history and tradition that a twenty-first century Christian inherits when it comes to the Word of God. However, I think it’s important to recognize some of the other traditions we inherit. For example, one I’ve already touched on is the … Continue reading The Christian Tradition in Babylon
