No es como soy rico o cualquier cosa

No sé exacto es este sitio, pero seguro como heck hace un gran punto. Piense siempre que “no soy realmente ése rico?” ¿Consiga siempre enojado en esa gente REALMENTE rica que pase sus recursos en sí mismos y no dé bastantes a los pobres? Así pues, apenas ver donde usted termina para arriba en la escala entre los pobres y los ricos tome esta prueba y leído en…

El *** NO PROCEDE HASTA QUE USTED HA TOMADO el *** de la PRUEBA

La autorización, así que usted son ricos. Reparto con él. Estoy intentando tratar de él. Usted puede solamente decirse que “sea diferente aquí en América” para tan de largo. Eventual, usted realiza que el ricos se han sentido siempre que son una cierta excepción a los desafíos de Cristo. Rico compárese con el rico. Seguro alguna gente es más rica que usted. Pero usted es rico. Y con gran abundancia viene la gran responsabilidad. La idea apenas de dar el 10% es ridícula. A ésos dados mucho, mucho
se requiere. El dios no desea un “corte.” Él lo desea todo y le pregunta a
viva fielmente y con un sentido de la alegría simple. Iguale en América. ESPECIALMENTE en América. ¿Qué usted va tan a hacer sobre él? No no haga caso de la pregunta apenas porque usted no sabe la respuesta. Lucha con la pregunta. Espero que nos plague hasta que comenzamos a repartir. Aquí está la cosa: La mayoría de la gente puede vivir simplemente en este país para bastante barato. Sé alguno que viva absolutamente bien apagado de 15K al año. Utilice su abundancia para servir otras.

Han suprimido a los amigos seleccionados.

I just experienced another reason why online communities lack the depth required to be authentic community. I was "thinning" out my blogroll, deleting a couple blog links that don’t really fit anymore. When I deleted these links, these words came up: The selected friends have been deleted.

In real life, it takes alot to delete one’s friends. Online, it just takes a push of a button. The painful process of no longer being friends is a huge part of authenticity. And that is why that my real friendships, even though they might not always be as fun or as pleasant, will always be authentic, and those friendships that I’ve started and cultivated online can never really be authentic until I experience actual presence with those friends.

Confession

During my daily blog roundup, I came into contact with this
blog called PostSecret where people can share deep secrets. People
long to confess their deepest sins or shames or fears. We all long to
stand completely naked, body and soul, in front of someone and have
them accept us. I sometimes wish I were Catholic, because they have a
built in system of exposing one’s self (Confession). We know that the
early church probably confessed to one another (if we believe that they
listened to James’ exhortation, that is). Maybe we have so many dang
self-help books because we are afraid to let others in enough to help
us. Maybe we go to therapists because they help us figure ourselves
out, not because of our desire to confess to another human being. But
even if we approach a therapist like another human being, we know that
they don’t have to confess anything to us. They are professionals.
They have to hear and accept us. There is no real risk of
judgement…and so it isn’t really confession.

PostSecret is the epitome of the longing for release and forgiveness
in a fractured world. How do we, the Church, create communities where
people can stand naked, find forgiveness, and be accepted?

Sex and Spirituality

[shameless plug ahead]

Twin Citizens, come on out to our next Pub Gathering!

Our topic for our July 6th Pub Gathering is "Sex and Spirituality."
This topic may seem like an oxymoron for some, given some traditional
Christian approaches to sexuality. For many, sex is shameful and not
to be talked about–something dark and dangerous that should remain
hidden. And of course, it has very little to do with one’s spiritual
health. On the other side of the spectrum are those who see sexual
expression as something so central and satisfying that it should be
experienced whenever it is possible to do so (while minimizing health
risks, of course). Sensuality dominates their spirituality. Most of
us fall somewhere in the middle.

Christian approaches to this issue have varied greatly.
Nevertheless, since Christianity affirms an embodied spirituality (the
idea that the body is a mere husk that we will eventually discard is
nowhere to be found in any place in Scripture), we simply cannot ignore
something so central to our embodied way of living.

Join us at the Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis (1430 Washington Ave S) as we struggle through what it means to be sexual AND spiritual. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome.
