  • Veteran’s Day II November 11, 2009
    After I posted those pictured below I started thinking more about Veteran’s Day. Veteran’s Day commemorates the end of WWI. As far as I know I didn’t have any family members fight in WWI. A fair number fought in WWII, however. I think especially of my Uncle Joe today. He [...]
  • Veteran’s Day November 11, 2009
    Sitting on my couch reading a book on Roger Williams. Heard something loud approaching overhead, walked outside to see planes flying over in tight formation. Wished I had my camera. A few minutes later they flew over again. This time I had my camera.
  • Grasshoppers on Stucco November 9, 2009
    I’m occasionally surprised by who is looking at me when I walk outside my door. The first one watching me from the roof, the second from the wall.
  • Quiet Times November 5, 2009
    A good many centuries ago a wise Christian wrote about spiritual progress. He noted there were, seemingly, two paths to spiritual growth. The first was inclined to discipline and through that found contemplation of God. The second was inclined to contemplation and from that realized the need for discipline. Those in the [...]
  • In the mists November 5, 2009
    In the mists which endless swirl Basking my soul in shadows rich Inwardly I wander, being unfurl Watching, never seeing. Cannonballs go crashing in Launched from many passing ships Senses dulled and watchful still Ever waiting, not seeing. I pray to breezes wafting by A tickle, a tease, little more I whisper words with an earnest sigh. Hopeful yet, and blind […]
  • Santa Barbara Island pics November 1, 2009
    I’ve posted my island camping pics on the dualravens gallery for those who don’t have access to the Facebook version. I might also in coming weeks add some more to this dualravens version. I took about 900 pics and movies, so I figure there’s a few more to be seen than I’ve posted quite [...]
  • Hummingbird Pose October 30, 2009
    Another hummingbird from this evening.
  • Hummer above me October 28, 2009
    Sitting outside while reading the Trial of Anne Hutchinson gave me a nice perspective on the always busy hummingbird feeder this morning.
  • God, Emerging church, and Authority October 22, 2009
    One of the biggest questions in any discussion on the church has to do with authority. In fact, I would say that this is the biggest question of all. Maybe this isn’t the biggest question about what we know about God, but it certainly is the most pressing in how we understand what [...]
  • Directed Reading October 21, 2009
    Those of you who are following my PhD escapades probably already know I’m not doing a regular seminar this quarter. Rather, I’m doing a directed reading, which basically means instead of reading books and going to class and doing a couple of presentations and writing a major paper I am, this quarter, reading a lot [...]
