great you have joined us … daily shoot was playing up earlier we all got a different challenge. Even that spoke to me about God calling us all to different things cos of our uniqueness …

I wonder, it sounds like you might resonate with some of the thoughts in Shane Claibourne’s book “The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical” I just finished it and it’s not just deeply challenging but also profound and enlightening.
Grace & Peace, enjoy your time, God be with you.

Well, if you need any help blending in with the culture, just let me know. I’m an American expert.

Welcome to the USA!

P.S. I know what Doctor Who is!

Apart from that, I’m really looking forward to reading “Finally Human in America!”

Depending on where you drive, there are speed cameras (more in Baltimore city) but plenty in Balto. and Howard counties, too (especially around schools). My husband would disagree about all cars being automatic. He drives a “standard” or “stick shift” and the car he had previously was also a stick shift. You’ll find more spelling issues than “colour” vs. “color” (especially in some people’s writing). And a few of us have heard of Dr. Who, though we haven’t actually seen an episode recently. Anyway, I can’t wait to meet you. I wasn’t at CCC today because I’m on vacation (“Holiday”) with my parents and sister in Mississippi.

I’d say Jesus is a good blue-print.

well there are no blue prints so what worked for Paul might /might not work for you … but it IS the same Spirit and He wants to free His people

this bit made me laugh

there aren’t speed limit signs everywhere and no speed cameras

there are speed limits. And on the freeways (motorways) they are lower than in the UK (and finland) and they do give out speeding tickets. So watch out!!!

I wouldn’t even know how to tweet so I guess mine would be

Jesus, I am glad you are easier to access than my struggles with (new) technology #tweetjesus

(I copy pasted the last bit as it looked cool!)

where did you take the photo

I went to the Imperial War Museum twice this summer. I hate the name. I hate war. But what I really like about that place is that it doesn’t glorify war at all (or at least not obviously) … and the Holocaust Memorial is well worth visting. For those who don’t believe in the depravity of man …. look again. And to see how the church was culpable … well that links with another post of yours. We might have the right doctrine but if we dont’ live out our faith as Christians … well it’s not worth much.

I look at those who are pacifists with respect (mostly) and I especially honour those who stood up (at personal cost) to the nastiness of the Nazis … those who hid Jews, and those who were working for peace.

I am not sure total pacifism is workable … because there are quite frankly nasty leaders out there … but there has to be a better way. Jesus taught us that!
