Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2017-261: On the Street: The Blessing of Thrown Dolls

As I traveled recently I had reason to be grateful I would not be teaching in a few years, let alone in a few days.  The cause of my joy was a beautiful little girl.  She was beautiful until her mother told her no.  Then the screaming began.  The foot stomped.  Her doll was thrown.

I was blessed.  I understood that this little angel would not be in my classroom in a few years screaming, stomping and throwing.  I won’t meet her again until I need someone to change my bed pan.  I hope she is over the throwing behavior by then.

What a blessing.

  1. That is a bit frightening to think about.

    1. It was even worse facing it on a daily basis. Then there was the problem of not laughing at the tears being shed by mom.

      Grace and peace.

  2. I believe the term is “brat”. You could also use “prick”, “schmuckina”, and “thot-bopper”.

    1. If I didn't use such terms in class I probably won't use them here, although that doesn't necessarily go for all I say, does it?

      Grace and peace.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
