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 2025-262: Sin Wins a Round

I have often sang the praises of early mornings on the porch.  I’ve sat through 40° mornings. Lately it’s been almost up to 80.  I continued with joy and enthusiasm.  This morning that enthusiasm came crashing down as the mosquitoes decided it was time to come and see what I was so excited about.

One of my convictions is that mosquitoes either did not exist before Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, or they were vegan.  Now, there is a glorious thought, vegan mosquitoes.  Maybe I should get a copyright on that idea.  But whatever, they came for me to make up for lost time.  They are a product of sin.  I blame them on Adam and Eve and either way they are still very real today

So I gave up and come back inside.  I have this conviction the God can meet me inside just as well as outside.  Being inside might limit my appreciation, but not His ability to reach out to me.

I will wait for stronger breezes and lower temperatures and see what happens.
