POPSDon't end up simply having visited this world When it is over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world. -Mary Oliver From New and Selected Poems

POPSSeeing the Everyday A new magazine. The site won't clip as I'd like it, so go check it out. It's a quarterly magazine "focusing on the daily interactions taking place at home." It seeks "to honestly tell and simply show the everyday beauties found in quiet and humble moments of our own homes and yards and with those whom we love most." And it's advertisement free!

POPSWow, Masbury, Please explain this. Very interesting blog, Masbury. I really did enjoy it, even though I fall into the Calvinist camp. This statement of yours sounds profound and on the surface appealing. However, after noodling it, seems to be quite inappropriate as it pertains to sola fide, grace, and salvation. What does this mean?

POPSDon't Write Like An Idiot This is a reclip of an older clip that Invictus made. His original exceeded the current clip limit so I couldn't revive it. Refresher everyone.

POPSIf you can't trust a dictionary...what can you trust? Spell check is not the only problem. If you hear it wrong, it gets written wrong. You see it written wrong and it becomes right in your head. The cycle repeats until the incorrect becomes acceptable and our language perishes. Don't even ask me about "for all intensive purposes."

POPSReligion versus the Gospel I do not agree with the author's view of religion in every case, but others might view it as such. It inspired me to examine my own thoughts on things.

POPSEat what you know I'm so excited about this book coming out next month. The author and her family decide to eat only local produce, dairy and meat for one year (with a few exceptions). She wanted a greater connection to her sustanence, as well as a way to cut down on fossil fuel consumption. I really look forward to teaching my daughter about this concept. Food isn't really made by magic by elves in a tree. Someone put their back into it. Someone worried about rainfall. Someone put their sweat, tears and love into each bite she eats. My parents have a garden every year, and this year she is old enough to really help. Doesn't a tomato taste better when you've grown it yourself? I certainly appreciate every lemon I manage to coax from my little tree, in a way I don't seem to care about storebought lemons.
