Losing the Truth of Loss
You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry; my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans.
Exodus 22:21-24 (NRSVCE)
I find it fascinating, as I read the laws of Moses in today's chapter, that the Hebrews were commanded by God to take care of foreigners living among them, and to take care of socially and economically disadvantaged groups within their society. By the time Jesus arrived on the scene some 1500 years later, the Temple in Jerusalem had become a religious racket (which is why Jesus drove the currency exchange vendors out of the Temple). The religious system prescribed through Moses had become an institution that made money for the the chief priests and religious leaders who then leveraged their power and authority to line their own pockets at the expense of their own people, while they prejudicially looked down on anyone who wasn't one of them. They religiously kept the rules that made them look pious while finding excuses for ignoring those that might require real compassion and generosity.
One of the reasons the early Jesus Movement grew so rapidly was the fact that Jesus' followers were radically challenging the social structures of the day. There were no church buildings. They met in homes around the supper table and, at that table, everyone was welcome to sit together. Both women and men, Jews and non-Jews, and even slaves were welcomed to sit at the table with their master. Beyond that, the followers of Jesus took care of those who were socially and economically disadvantaged in the society of that day including widows, orphans, and lepers.
When Christianity became the state religion of Rome a few hundred years later, the Jesus Movement became a powerful religious and political institution almost overnight. The good news is that Christians would no longer be persecuted and fed to the lions in the Roman Circus. The way was paved for sincere teachers and theologians to meet together, debate, and establish core doctrines. With the authority of the Roman Empire, there was an opportunity for real change.
Interestingly enough, what followed was ironically similar to the very things Jesus criticized in the religious leaders of His own people. The movement moved from the supper tables in peoples homes to churches and cathedrals, which required a lot of money. Generosity to disadvantaged groups was curtailed as funds were shifted to lining the pockets of the church leaders and their churches and residences. Women were once again diminished as male dominance was established within the institution. Those who threatened the emerging orthodoxy, like the desert fathers and mothers, were branded heretics and either killed or forced to flee. Leadership positions in the church suddenly became positions of socio-economic and political power that were bought, sold, and traded by rich, powerful, and connected families. That's how we eventually ended up with an eleven-year-old pope (Pope Benedict IX).
In the quiet this morning, I find myself asking a lot of questions. Our local gathering of Jesus' followers has spent the last year grappling with the mega-trends we're seeing in our culture and our world. There are fewer and fewer individuals claiming to be Christians. Churches, especially here in rural and small-town America, are closing for lack of members. Christianity is no longer accepted as the prevailing cultural worldview in our culture, and there is open and growing antagonism as the historic sins and failings of church institutions spark anger and resentment in many circles. Meanwhile, around the world, Christians are being persecuted and killed without earning much attention.
As a follower of Jesus, I find myself wondering if all of this is simply going to lead Jesus' followers back to our roots. The history of the Hebrews and the history of Christianity both reveal to me that when the heart of God's message to care for strangers, aliens, and disadvantaged groups is lost amidst the desire for social, economic, and political power, then there is a loss of spiritual potency and legitimacy. I can't help but believe that the loss of cultural prominence is actually the road back to spiritual progress. The way of Jesus has always been about letting go, giving up, and leaving behind. The diminishment of self for the gain of others is not an optional path for those followers of Jesus who want an advanced spiritual placement. It's foundational to being a follower at all:
"and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it."-Jesus
I think that this has been lost. I confess that as I reflect on my own journey it's clear that I am as guilty as anyone.
My heart and mind return to yesterday's post. I want to stop being an ally to Jesus' teachings and become an accomplice in putting them to work in tangible ways.

Poison on the Team
As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.
Proverbs 26:21 (NIV)
There is a client of mine who had a team that had been struggling for some time. While other teams around them were making great strides in their service performance, this one particular team languished in mediocrity. My quarterly training sessions with this team were sometimes painful. Silence. Arms crossed. No eye contact. No participation.
There was one member of this team who was, by far, the worst performer of the group. His performance on the phone calls we regularly assessed were so bad, that one almost had to willfully try to be that consistently awful to their customers. Over several years, the management team tried just about everything to motivate a change in this person. They tried offering cash bonuses for better performance, they provided remedial coaching (I had the joy of conducting many of the coaching sessions…ugh, also painful), they wrote him up on multiple Performance Improvement Plans with HR, and they made threats to fire him. Nothing worked. The longer this went on, I believe the more convinced he was that he didn't really have to change and the more stubborn he became.
Coincidentally, I was asked at one point to mentor this team's new supervisor. The newbie had been a member of the team for a long time and was promoted to his first managerial position. I watched him go through all of the same efforts as his predecessor trying to motivate behavior change in the team's entrenched curmudgeon.
"What am I going to do with him?" the supervisor eventually asked me directly.
"Fire him," I responded just as directly.
The supervisor seemed shocked by response. I explained.
"Look," I said, "Your management team has wasted their efforts for years trying to get this person to perform. There is a well-documented track record of a bad attitude, poor performance, and an unwillingness to do any more than the very least that is required to avoid getting fired. His attitude has poisoned the entire team and your team will never be healthy until you get rid of the problem at the source."
I had made this same suggestion multiple times to the supervisor's predecessor and managers, but they could never take the final step of terminating his employment. I actually expected nothing different from the new supervisor, because he was new and firing a team member went against this client's corporate culture.
I was, therefore, surprised to learn that my managerial protégé took my advice and fired the team member a short time later. Wouldn't you know it? That year the team that had been mired in mediocrity reached their service quality performance goal for the very first time. I handed out more year-end performance awards to members of that team than ever. The team that had been so painful to train for so many years was laughing, cheering, clapping, and celebrating.
In today's chapter, Solomon wisely says that a quarrelsome and contentious person is like adding wood to a fire. It spreads. My client's entire team was stuck in their contentious mediocrity and poor performance because of one team member's poisonous attitude. I wish I could say that this is the only example I've seen in my years of helping my clients improve the quality of their customer service, but it's not. It's actually fairly common. What isn't common is a client's willingness to do the right thing for everyone (especially their customers) and decisively extract the poison from the system whether it is firing the person or moving them to a different job with a different team that might be a better fit.
In the quiet this morning, I find myself thinking about other poisonous team members I've encountered in my vocational journey and the reticence, even in my own company, of confronting it. What I've observed over time is that these individuals really don't want to be in their positions. Sometimes getting rid of a poisonous team member actually frees that person to find something better for themselves. I have followed the careers of a few fired team members on social media and it appears that they are much happier after finding a job that better suits their talents, desires, and personalities. And, some appear to be tragically angry and contentious people in any role no matter where they work.
At least a company can fire such a person. When the contentious and quarrelsome individual is part of a family system, it's a far more difficult situation. Solomon had another proverb for such tragic circumstances:
To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.

Sex and a Larger Wisdom
Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house…
Proverbs 5:8 (NIV)
One of the challenges in the reading of ancient wisdom is embracing the historical, cultural, and social differences I find rather than letting them get in the way. In our current culture of reactivity and the quick dismissal of anything that doesn't fit neatly in the personal box of my world view, I'm afraid many miss out on the larger wisdom that is still there for anyone willing to see it.
The role and status of women in ancient cultures is a fascinating study. Just a few chapters ago I wrote about the fact that when the ancients personified wisdom she was a woman. Contrasting that honoring celebration of the feminine, today's chapter is a head-scratching corollary. Solomon warns his son to beware of a caricatured predator: the adulterous woman.
It seems hypocritical for King Solomon to preach such monogamous virtue to his son, given the fact that the "wise" King was recorded to have had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Of course, it could also be argued that he was writing out of the pain of his own folly, as it is also recorded that he was "led astray" by having 1000 women at his disposal (though I doubt he was an unwilling victim).
Along my life journey, I've experienced that it takes two to do the tango of adultery. The peddling of forbidden sexual fruit is not discriminatory by gender, nor is the temptation to taste its pleasures. It is also my observation that gender is inconsequential when it comes to matters of seduction, sexual temptation, sexual surrender, promiscuous relationships and the bitter consequences typically experienced at the dead-end of those paths. It would be foolish of me not to look past the cultural differences between the ancient Hebrews and my own time to see the larger wisdom that Sophia has to share for anyone willing to listen to what she has to say about the foolishness of sexual promiscuity.
In the quiet this morning I find folly and wisdom in multiple layers. There is the obvious folly of promiscuity and the wisdom of relational fidelity presented in the text. I also find the folly of what I see on both sides of our current cultural discourse, in which I can easily be dismissive of others who don't comfortably fit inside the box of my comfortable world-view. I find there is typically larger wisdom present if I'm willing to seek her out.

Popcorn Prayers
The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king, "If it pleases the king….."
Nehemiah 2:4-5a (NIV)
I was honored a few weeks ago when I was asked to pray for our meal at my high school reunion. In part, I was honored because it has become increasingly common for prayers at public events to be ignored our outright forbidden. I also realize that I and my classmates grew up in a time when public prayer was hotly debated along with questions regarding whether it was appropriate for public school choirs to sing sacred music at events such as commencement.
I can remember during some of these debates about "school prayer" that it was humorously acknowledged that the school building will always be the center of a million prayers during finals week. Of course, there is a difference between a public prayer at a school event and the silent prayer students staring at the test that has just been placed before them.
For those who are not regular readers, I have been blogging through what's known as the exilic books of God's Message in recent months. These are the writings of the ancient Hebrews who experienced being taken into captivity by the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Medo-Persian empires. They eventually returned to Jerusalem to rebuild and restore their homeland. Being an exile, in its very essence, means living away from home, and being in exile often means a loss of power, control, and public standing. My local gathering of Jesus' followers is currently exploring the notion that the people of God are, by nature, exilic and what that means for us in the 21st century.
Nehemiah was a cupbearer for the Persian king, Artaxerxes. In today's chapter, Nehemiah could not hide his grief while serving in the king and queen's presence. It was, in those days, deemed inappropriate to show any kind of negative emotion in the presence of the king. On a whim, the king could have his servant executed for such an infraction. So when Artaxerxes notices the depressed look on his cupbearer's face, Nehemiah's immediate fear was warranted.
What I found interesting is that the phrase "Then I prayed to the God of heaven" is sandwiched in between the king's question and Nehemiah's response. There is no way that Nehemiah said, "Can you hang on a few minutes while I get on my knees and pray for a while?" Nehemiah's prayer to the God of heaven had to have been what I call a "popcorn prayer." A popcorn prayer is the silent, sudden, internal exclamation of my spirit to God's Spirit in an instant. It's exactly what I did as a student before every Biology test (science was not my thing).
According to a 2017 survey by the Barna, 79 percent of Americans said they had prayed in the previous three months. Barna found prayer to be the most common faith practice among American adults, but it was also the most multi-faceted. In fact, the researcher concluded that "the most common thing about people's prayers is that they are different."
Along my spiritual journey, I've discovered that my own prayer life is much like Barna's research. It's multi-faceted. I do, at times, spend set periods of time in prayer. Sometimes, I audibly talk to God while I'm alone in my car driving. Wendy and I pray together before meals, and often we will pray together when it is just the two of us traveling in the car. I've sometimes described my life journey itself as one long, uninterrupted conversation with God. I'm constantly aware of God's presence, and my "popcorn prayers" are popping constantly in the heat of Life's microwave oven.
Our culture has shifted in the 35 years since I graduated from high school. I know some who see this as a source of grief, anxiety, fear, and even anger. Sociologists and scholars are calling our current culture the "post-Christain" world. Frankly, I'm not that worried about it. In fact, I think it might just be a good thing. Throughout the Great Story, it's clear that God's people flourish, not when they are in power, but when they live in exile. It's a paradox that Jesus said He came to model and that He told his followers to embrace:
"You've observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage."Jesus (Matthew 20:25-28 [MSG])
Paul, one of Jesus' early followers, put it this way:
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.Paul of Tarsus (2nd Letter to the Corinthians 12:10 [NIV])
In the quiet this morning I find my head swimming in thoughts of culture, and power, and exile, and prayer. Nehemiah found himself a servant to the King of a foreign empire. Artaxerxes had the power to execute Nehemiah for having a frown on his face, and yet his precarious position of impotence led him to depend on his faith in the power and purposes of God. Isn't that the very spiritual reality that Jesus wanted us to embrace?
As I finish this post I'm saying a popcorn prayer for any and all who read it. Hope you have a great day, my friend.
Bad Blood Boiling Over
All the royal officials at the king's gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor.
Esther 3:2 (NIV)
I recently read a fascinating op-ed by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali by birth who became a member of the Dutch Parliament. In the article, she shares about her journey of understanding that she was culturally and systemically raised to hate Jews and blame them for everything, and how she overcame that hatred.
Feuds are as old as humanity itself. Whether it is unresolved interpersonal conflict, blood feuds between familial tribes, or long-standing hatred between people groups, there are countless examples of systemic hatred and generational conflict throughout history.
For the casual reader, there exists in Esther an underlying conflict that is not easily detected on the surface of the text. Mordecai was a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin. The tribe of Benjamin had a famous ancestor in the person of Saul, the first King of Israel. Saul had warred against the Amalekites and their King, Agag. Saul's disobedience to God's command in the battle against King Agag led to Saul's downfall which, in turn, brought shame to the tribe of Benjamin. Haman was an Agagite, a descendant of Saul's famous enemy. There are over 500 years of bad blood between Haman and Mordecai's tribes.
This adds a whole new layer of understanding to the story. Mordecai had thwarted an assassination plot against Xerxes in yesterday's chapter, and yet he received no real reward for his courage. Haman, in contrast, is elevated to a place of unprecedented power within Xerxes administration and no reason is provided to explain why he was deserving of such favor. The King demands that everyone bow before Haman. Bowing and kneeling before others was a common form of public respect in ancient Persian culture. It would be similar to shaking hands in our culture or taking your hat off in respect. Mordecai's refusal to offer this basic courtesy to Haman was not treated as treasonous, but as culturally impolite and disrespectful. Mordecai was scolded and lectured, but still, he refused to bow. Each day he stood as Haman passed by and each day the insult pricked Haman's ego and pride. With each passing day the 500 years of cultural bad blood between Benjaminite and Agagite, between Jew and Amalekite, slowly simmered to a boil. Haman plots to have Mordecai and all of his people annihilated.
This morning I find myself contemplating Jesus' command that I forgive my enemies. This not only includes the interpersonal conflicts or wrongs which I have suffered, but I believe also includes the deeper cultural, ethnic, moral, and religious prejudices I may hold against other people groups; Prejudices that I may have been systemically and culturally taught without even realizing it.
Which brings me back to Ms. Ali, a woman from a different culture, tribe, and religion than my own. I found her willingness to confess her hatred of the Jewish people and turn from the cultural enmity she'd been taught a shining example of what Jesus asks of me. I find myself taking an honest inventory of my heart this morning. As King David (ironically, God's replacement for the disobedient King Saul) wrote in the lyrics to his musical prayer, "Search me, God, and know my heart." Addressing prejudice and cultural hatred has to begin with me.
Living in Gray
When the king's order and edict had been proclaimed, many young women were brought to the citadel of Susa and put under the care of Hegai. Esther also was taken to the king's palace and entrusted to Hegai, who had charge of the harem.
Esther 2:8 (NIV)
Yesterday at the breakfast table Wendy and I were having breakfast and reading the news, as is our daily habit. Wendy happened upon a news piece that quite clearly divided the United States into two generalized racial groups. Implied in the article was the notion that in America you are either black or white. I find the distinction of choice ironic.
The simplistic divide does not account for the vast number of people of Hispanic, Asian, or Native American descent, nor does it account for the population of interracial couples and their children which, according to U.S. Census figures, has steadily grown since 1967 and continues to do so.
Our culture loves binary, either-or choices. I have observed this to be true of both institutional religion and mainstream news media who are critical one another. When dealing with a large population of people, simple binary choices are much easier to deal with. Here are some examples from both of them:
- Black or White
- Conservative or Liberal
- Fox News or MSNBC
- Capitalism or Socialism
- Red State or Blue State
- Progressive or Deplorable
- Blue Collar or White Collar
- Educated or Uneducated
- Urban or Rural
- Republican or Democrat
- Protestant or Catholic
- Sacred or Secular
- Christian or Secular
- Holy or Worldly
- Evangelical or Mainline
- Religious or Atheist
And yet, as I have traversed this earthly journey and spiritually followed in the footsteps of Jesus, I find most binary distinctions simplistic and inadequate for addressing complex circumstances and issues. The world and its people with whom I interact every day are an elaborate mosaic of DNA, thought, spirit, background, and experience. To put one complex person into one of two binary boxes for the sake of simple definition is foolishness.
One of the things that I love about the story of Esther is how God works through this young Jewish woman who appears to navigate the tremendously gray territory between binary choices of Jew or Gentile, Hebrew or Persian, and Moral or Immoral. She keeps her heritage and faith secret. Whereas Daniel refused to eat meat provided by his foreign captors, Esther has no such qualms. There is no indication that Esther balks at being part of the Persian harem system that would have instructed her how to pleasure the king sexually on demand.
The book of Esther has confounded binary thinkers for ages. One commentator wrote that Esther's behavior would not pass any test of modern ethical theory. Her cultural compromises coupled with the pesky fact that God is never mentioned by name in the story led some editors in history to introduce prayers into the book that were never part of the original text along with commentary stating that Esther hated being married to a Gentile. I've observed that when the truth is too gray for our comfort zone, we like to shade it to fit our personal binary leanings.
In the quiet this morning I find myself thinking about the value and importance of a story like Esther. She successfully navigates a very uncomfortable world of gray politically, culturally, religiously, and morally. From a position of powerlessness and critical compromise, she is used for God's purposes in profound and powerful ways. In a time when our political, religious, cultural, and social systems seem perpetually intent on placing me in one of two simplistic boxes, I pray I can, like Esther, find a way to successfully navigate the territory of gray that lies in tension between simplistic, black-and-white definitions.
Strong Women in Weak Circumstances
"According to law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?" he asked. "She has not obeyed the command of King Xerxes that the eunuchs have taken to her."
Esther 1:15 (NIV)
In the days after the end of Game of Thrones, I have suffered a bit of withdrawal. I know I am not alone in this. While nothing in the current entertainment market is going to really compare to the epic series, of late I have been catching up on the series, The Last Kingdom, (on Netflix) which has enjoyably filled the void. It follows the life of a young English noble who is captured and raised by Vikings while his uncle claims the title and land rightfully his by birth. The series is set in a period of actual history when Vikings threatened to conquer all the kingdoms of the British isle while Alfred the Great sought to join the disparate Kingdoms of the isle into one united England.
One of the interesting themes that I have noticed of late in multiple series and movies set in medieval times is how the role of women is handled. Certainly, the dark ages and middle ages were a time in which women had little or no social standing. Daughters of nobility were married off to create political alliances. Writers seem to enjoy creating female characters of strength and courage who challenge and undermine the status quo of that time. I laughed a lot as I watched the character of Brida (played expertly by Emily Cox) in The Last Kingdom (who, like the male protagonist was a young Brit captured and raised as a pagan Viking) who re-enters English society and all of the male priests and nobles have no idea how to handle this strong, fiery, female warrior. Earl the Bruce's wife in the movie Outlaw King (also on Netflix) is another recent example.
Today we begin another chapter-a-day journey through the book of Esther. Along with the stories of Daniel and Jonah, which we just blogged through in the past few months, Esther is set in the period of exile when many of the Hebrew people were living in exiled captivity to a successive series of foreign empires (Babylonian, Mede, and Persian). Esther is one of the most enjoyable and unique reads in the entirety of God's Message.
The first chapter sets the scene as the Persian Queen, Vashti, refuses her intoxicated husband's demand that she present herself to him and the drunken, seven-day binge of a frat-boy party that he and his court were having. King Xerxes wanted to serve his wife up to be sexually ogled by his "noble" entourage. When Vashti has the self-respect and courage to refuse her husband's demand, the boys decide that she must be punished so that all women would know their place and all men could cement their power over their wives and households.
Today's chapter sets the scene for the story on which we are about to embark. It establishes the setting in an ancient culture in which men systemically dominated politics, society, and culture. Women had little or no power, and to challenge the system – even for the best of reasons – could lead to very negative consequences. The Hebrews, as a people living in exile, understood this position of powerlessness.
As I think about the historical setting of the story of Esther, of the courage of Vashti to stand up to her drunken husband, and the examples of strong women in weak social positions that I've been watching of late, I can't help but think of my wife and my daughters. God has surrounded me with strong women whom I greatly respect. I am partnered with a fiery, Enneagram 8 of a wife, who compliments and challenges me in all sorts of healthy ways. I also know, however, that most of human history would not have treated her and her God-given temperament kindly, despite what Hollywood writers portray as they try to bring 9th-century realities to 21st-century audiences.
In the quiet this morning I find myself excited to once again wade through the amazing story of Esther. It reminds me of the spiritual paradoxes that lie at the heart of being a follower of Jesus: that strength is found in weakness, that spiritual power is often unleashed in temporal impotence, and that the power of Life is found on the other side of death.
Shades of Schadenfreude
[Jonah] prayed to the Lord, "Isn't this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
Jonah 4:2 (NIV)
As I get older, I've grown to enjoy etymology, the study of words and their origins. I find it fascinating how these building blocks of communication become part of our everyday conversations, and how they wax and wane in popular usage. I also find it fascinating how cultures ascribe certain significance, power, and meaning to certain words, while others don't. Our kids in Scotland have a few great anecdotes about uncomfortable social moments when they discovered that a word they used, which has a benign meaning in the States, has a very different meaning in the U.K.
There is a word I first noticed a few years ago, and I've found that it's growing in popularity: schadenfreude. It's a compound German word that comes from the root words meaning "harm" and "joy". It means to take pleasure in another's person's misfortune.
There certainly is a natural and rather harmless way that we enjoy seeing the bad guy get his comeuppance. I was one of the many who watched the entire series Game of Thrones. The series was masterful in creating really bad characters who I wanted to see come to a nasty, bitter end and was happy when it eventually happened.
At the same time, there is a dark side of schadenfreude that I feel like I'm witnessing more and more in our current culture. It's not enough to disagree with another person's political, religious, or social worldviews, we have to publicly call them names and post antagonizing memes on social media. Just last night I found myself shutting off social media and walking away. I realized how mean-spirited the posts were that I was reading and it wasn't having a positive effect on my psyche or my feelings towards others.
In today's final chapter of the story of Jonah, we finally learn what was at the heart of Jonah's mad dash to flee from what God had asked him to do. Jonah didn't want God to be gracious and merciful with his enemies. Jonah wanted to wallow in schadenfreude and watch his enemies, the Assyrians, suffer.
In the sermon on the mount, Jesus took five common statements about matters of relationship and then told His followers He was raising the bar. Jesus' expectation for me as a follower is that I behave in a way that goes against the grain of common human behavior:
"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that."
Matthew 5:43-47 (MSG)
Reading Jonah's story this week has caused me to do some real personal introspection. You can see it in the common ways my posts have ended the past few days.
As I was reading about the etymology of the word schadenfreude, I learned that many cultures and languages have a word that means the same thing. I recognize that there is a relatively harmless pleasure that I take when my favorite team's rival loses. C'est la vie. I don't, however, want to wake up someday and find myself in Jonah's sandals. Following Jesus means loving, even those people who wish to see me suffer; Even those who actually act on it.
"Forgive them. They don't realize what they're doing."
God, make me more like that.
Keeping it to Myself; Holding it Together
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:17 (NIV)
Yesterday Wendy and I were with our local gathering of Jesus' followers and I met young ladies who were from Honduras, Nigeria, and Afghanistan. I was told that the first time my young sister from Afghanistan joined us I happened to give the message that day, and she was relatively new to living here in the States. At some point during the message I began to cry (that happens quite frequently, I'm afraid). She, however, was taken aback. Culturally, men in Afghanistan do not cry, especially in public. She laughed about it now, and the moment became an opportunity for her to learn and grow on a number of different levels. Very cool.
Along my journey I have encountered people from all manner of cultural, religious, and denominational backgrounds. People have all sorts of things that are important to them religiously, spiritually, or culturally from things you eat (or don't), things you wear (or don't), and certain days that are special (or not). We're not talking here about matters of civil law or basic morality. This conversation is about preferences, practices, customs and traditions that are not the command of Christ, though they may hold some special spiritual significance to a particular individual or a particular group of individuals.
As Paul is writing to the followers of Jesus in Rome, he is aware that among all the fledgling local gatherings of believers there are very diverse cross-sections of humanity. Not just Jews and Gentiles, but people from different nations, tribes, cultural backgrounds, and socio-economic positions. This would especially have been true in Rome which was the cosmopolitan epicenter of the western world at the time. The Jesus Movement was breaking down barriers between people for the first time history and for the first time people were interacting with one another, eating together, worshipping together, and speaking to one another as equals on a regular basis. Of course this is going to create all sorts of minor clashes between people from diverse cultural, religious, social and economic backgrounds.
In today's chapter Paul gives some very clear teaching on these various and sundry differences.
First, he points out that what a person eats and drinks (or doesn't) and what days are of special spiritual significance (or not) are really of no concern to God but are merely concerns of personal, individual conscience. This, in and of itself, might be a huge eye-opener if my ego has convinced me that I am the universal spiritual template and standard by which all other followers of Jesus should abide by and be judged. Each individual, Paul instructs, should worry only about herself/himself and her/his own behavior in accordance with her/his own conscience before God.
Second, Paul explains that because many different believers have very different matters of conscience on these matters there is no binary "right" and "wrong" in these matters except within my own heart and mind. These things are a private matter between me and God.
That being said and established, Paul urges me to take off my Junior Holy Spirit badge and stop playing spiritual judge, jury, and executioner applying my personal conscience before God onto others who have very different consciences before the same God. "Worry about yourself," Paul is saying, "and let God worry about others."
Finally, Paul exhorts me to follow the example of Christ and put others and their personal consciences above my own right to exercise my very different conscience. If I know that a person holds that Sabbath is sacred, I'm not going to ask her/him to come over and help me move my couch that day. If I know that another person finds alcohol to be evil and prohibitive, I'm not going to make an appointment to meet that person at the local pub and I'm going to abstain from drinking in her/his presence.
And, if a sister finds that a man crying in public is wrong, well…I'll try to hold it together!
Have a great week, my friend!

Police used stun grenades and sprayed dye and teargas to disperse about 2,000 EFF supporters in Brackenfell exterior Cape City in the present day. The protestors have been making an attempt to drive their manner by the police barricades defending routes to the Brackenfell Excessive College.
A allow was granted for the EFF protest exterior Brackenfell Excessive College in the present day, giving permission for 100 protestors handy over a memorandum to the varsity.
The EFF mentioned the purpose of the protest was to spotlight alleged racism and segregation on the college, one thing that learners have posted about on social media.
On the coronary heart of the matter was a personal perform organised by dad and mom to have fun the top of matric after the standard matric dance was cancelled as a consequence of Covid-19.
It was claimed that black learners have been neither knowledgeable nor invited to the perform. Two academics apparently attended the perform on a wine farm.
EFF secretary common Marshall Dlamini negotiated with police, requesting that they enhance the variety of protestors allowed to march to the varsity.
An settlement was reached that 500, as a substitute of 100, protestors might method the varsity. Nevertheless, metres down Paradys Street, EFF supporters tried to barge their manner by the cordon and the barricade and police opened fireplace with stun weapons and teargas.
Protestors scattered in all instructions.
Police maintained a fringe and negotiations resumed. The stalemate lasted for over an hour, with extra EFF members becoming a member of the protest. By 3pm, there was nonetheless no signal of get together chief Julius Malema.
A barbed wire cordon was erected across the college, with the Cape Get together establishing a tent exterior the premises. Leaders of the get together mentioned they have been there in solidarity with the residents of Brackenfell.
Round 3pm a white man approached Dlamini as he was addressing the gang, an argument ensued which led to a scuffle. Some within the crowd began assaulting the person and police as soon as once more fired stun grenades and rubber bullets. There are stories of injured protestors.
This can be a creating story. DM/MC

Logistics crisis put off as 'carparazzi' plan is re-thought
A major logistics crisis that was expected next month is seen as having been delayed as local governments in Seoul and Gyeonggi have watered down their plan to crackdown on unregistered parcel delivery trucks.
They were planning to adopt a system that would reward citizens who report such trucks. The informers have been dubbed "carparazzi," a combination of car and paparazzi.
However, the plan backfired due to strong protests, not only from parcel truck drivers, but also from small and midsize logistics companies that rely on such deliveries.
Seoul City Council backtracked on Wednesday, whereas the Gyeonggi government passed the bill but is expected to delay its implementation until next year at the earliest.
Industry insiders feared the move; if carried out, it would cause a shortage of drivers.
Of the total 37,000 delivery cars in the country, about 15,000, or 41 percent, were not registered for business use as of April, according to the Korea Integrated Logistics Association.
"More than 60 percent of package deliveries are carried out in Seoul and Gyeonggi, so if drivers stop delivering, it could be critical," said Bae Myeong-soon, a director general at the Korea Integrated Logistics Association.
"Also, once the carparazzi system takes effect, more police officers will regularly check to see if there are any unregistered vehicles making deliveries as citizens keep reporting cases."
Bae said that 45 drivers were caught on Wednesday alone in Bucheon, Gyeonggi.
The total number of packages being delivered tripled last year to 1.32 billion from 430 million in 2003.
The government has not processed any requests to grant companies with more registrations for delivery vehicles.
Bae said the logistics companies acknowledge that operating unregistered vehicles is illegal, but that they need them to handle the surge in deliveries.
"We oppose the idea of having [carparazzi] because it was the government that failed to predict the demand for such vehicles," said Bae.
The Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs said it has not granted any new registrations because it decided that supply balances demand, according to its annual market research. But it issued a notice in April saying that it will allow more vehicles weighing less than 1.5 tons.
The ministry said it gave the Seoul city government background information on the logistics industry when it heard the city was considering introducing the carparazzi system.
"We never advised them to not go ahead with it. We just gave them information on the pros and cons of such a system," said Park Hyo-cheol, an official at the ministry's logistics industry division.
However, the ministry was not aware that the Gyeonggi province was pursuing the same system until after the bill was passed on June 7.
"The government acknowledges that more delivery cars are needed," said Bae.
"It really needs to expedite the process so drivers and customers are not inconvenienced."

The Addams Family, Netflix, Fair Use
The Addams Family
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeild, The Addams Family is a Halloween classic movie that was created on Nov. 22, 1991 and got put on Netflix on Aug. 21, 2020. It all starts when Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) is said to be the missing brother of Gomez Addams (Rual Julia). Morticia Addams (Angelica Hutson) comes to the conclusion that this man is a fraud since he can not explain any of Fester's life details. With the help of lawyer Tully Afford (Dan Heyda), Fester manges to get the Addams family evicted out of their house, and Gomez realizes that he must challenge Fester.
I really enjoyed this movie, as it sets a good Halloween tone and is a good family movie. I would recommend this movie for a Halloween party or a get-together. It is aimed for younger kids or teenagers, and it's more of a cute Halloween movie than a scary movie.

I would 100% recommend this printer to anyone thinking of trying out the hobby, you'll be hooked. I made the assumption that the motherboard supported auto bed leveling and filament run-out since it does have the updated board. Most folks will be happy to help. This new 3D Printing hobby is an extension of my technologist tendencies. It came out absolutely flawless on this Ender 3.Next
This may be a better way to start. In addition to the power supply upgrade, magnetic bed, and Y not Z! A lot of people put on them. People have come up with a rather impressive cable chain to improve the design. If needed print some spacers to tension the spring. I literally put it in, and printed.Next
This turned from a item i dont need to something i am glad i have. If you are looking to get your feet wet with 3D printing. There is some texture on my prints, but I don't care. Don't order these if you have this. I'm impressed and kind of wish Joseph Prusa would incorporate that design into his machines. Every Ender 3 I have, except for ones I already upgraded, have filament cutting into pressure lever on the extruder as shown below.Next
This is something that Creality needs to put as stock. It is quite a royal pain to do, but pretty well worth the effort. Been printing up stuff for around the house from thingiverse. I purchased this printer a few months ago. Jim Sheldon 3 0 Something wrong with this post? This could cause lack of Z-axis volume. I own a few printers already and would easily buy more of these. Even when dirty, the plate will still adhere to your prints! My other printer is an Anycubic Kossel delta and I have a preference for the ender 3 over the kossel due to the larger print bed.Next
In this video, we 3D print and fit seven of the easiest and most useful upgrades for the Ender 3. The plastic parts work fine for a while. Any chance you know a better resource for tech drawings or even a good Youtube video with a teardown? I was having a lot of failures with lack of stickiness! I think I spent more time leveling the print bed than assembling, because the tutorial videos stressed how important leveling is for printing. Leveled the bad, loaded filament and printed the test print. New Viscous Platform sticker to replace reprinting tape and glue, solve warping problem but save the printing cost.Next
Amazon also has a that a friend of mine raves about. You can also support me through with as little as a dollar a month. . For the first three days with this printer, I only managed two successful prints. Since then I have been printing useful, non useful but fun and even made two from scratch items on tinkercad that printed successfully. We definitely think its a great solution and less work to install. Held by a magnet, it attaches to your fan housing, covering the extruder and is controlled by the fan command within the Gcode.Next
The extrusion for the Y axis thanks for the correction by the way - doesn't seem like it's going to be a necessary upgrade and the magnetic bed is frequently labeled as useless in reviews. My answer, is not really… unless the bed is warped. The frame is heavy duty and it holds up over time. I walk you through my version of no nonsense upgrades that will result in a more reliable printer, better quality prints and more importantly save you frustration later. The most impactful one to me is the Mk10 extruder. The base Ender 3 is already a good machine. Improvements to the Y axis improve stability, and the alteration of the control box unit move the fan to the bottom of the unit, no longer under the print bed.Next
Things to consider before buying: - are you comfortable with assembling the kit? Make sure you watch at least a few assembly videos on YouTube before beginning assembly of the printer, as this will help you avoid the common problem areas when assembling this, or any, 3D printer. This is going to be my next upgrade. I've printed 3 more models since then, the largest 6 inches long - works like a clock. Yeah everything to get ya started. Fantastic base or starter unit.Next

Titus 2:1 begins with a strong contrast. Literally, the verse begins, "But you…" Paul was calling Titus to be different than the false teachers that opposed him on Crete. The closing charge against these false teachers is that "they profess to know God, but they deny him by their works" (Titus 2:1). They acted in … Continue reading Teaching Gospel-Matching Behavior

A Prayer to Be Above Reproach
Our church family is studying through Titus. We recently studied elders and their qualifications (Titus 1:5-9). We learned that the elders are not the superheroes of the body.

Oil Holds Near 4-Week Low After Virus Plunge
(Bloomberg) -- Oil held near a four-week low after a surge in European virus cases and a bigger-than-expected jump in American crude stockpiles pushed prices down by the most in almost two months in the previous session.
Futures in New York were steady near $37 a barrel after plunging 5.5% Wednesday. Germany and France, the European Union's two biggest economies, will clamp down on movement for at least a month to try and curb Covid-19's spread. The benchmark S&P 500 Index fell the most since June on fears the resurgent virus will throw the global recovery into reverse.
American crude inventories rose by 4.32 million barrels last week, the most since July and almost three times more than forecast, Energy Information Administration data show. Still, distillates stockpiles fell more than expected.
Oil is on track for its worst month since April as the pandemic's resurgence in Europe and the U.S. coincides with an increase in supply from Libya. The head of Saudi Aramco's trading unit warned there may not be enough demand to absorb the planned OPEC+ supply increase in January and traders are cautious of taking long positions on crude due to the uncertain outlook.
"The data that have been coming out looking awfully weak and it's barely a surprise to see inventories turning higher in the wake of the softening economic backdrop," said Howie Lee an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. "I expect OPEC+ will delay the supply increase by three months to April 2021."
The growing nervousness is being reflected in oil's market structure. Brent's three-month timespread was $1.26 a barrel in contango -- where prompt prices are cheaper than later-dated ones -- compared with 86 cents at the end of last week. The change suggests fears of a glut are rising.
OPEC+ started to taper its production cuts from August, and there are growing signs the group may delay the planned next phase of the easing in January. If the refiners are cutting throughput, that's a good indication the market isn't there, said Ibrahim Al-Buainain, chief executive officer of Aramco Trading.
Tropical Storm Zeta, meanwhile, is spinning across central Alabama after being downgraded from a hurricane. Two-thirds of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut down, although that's failed to ignite a meaningful recovery in prices so far.

Even better, you're going to be active in building some of your youngster's first memories. Your son or daughter may sleep to be an angel, or they might move around a great deal. Moreover, the parent isn't going to will need to obtain new set of bedding for the next baby whether it's a baby boy or girl. Most parents say it's the most fun component of designing their youngster's new nursery.
Try to remember, the nursery is the room where the baby and you'll be spending a vast majority of your time. Especially since there's only so much room left in the landfill across the nation! Researching which bed will be ideal for your infant may be an amazing mission with all the present options out there. So that the toddler bed is really the very same as a daybed, only the mattress is in the different position. At this point you have a safe toddler bed. You are likely to want to receive a mattress that secures comfort for the infant. Needless to say, you require a larger mattress too.
Conventional styles permit parents create an easy and sweet nursery without overusing a specific theme or color. Vintage accents in an industrialized room is a fantastic theme to utilize for your infant boy's nursery.
You will require a stroller. Otherwise, you're still able to convert the crib to the daybed, with no extra purchase. If you wish to transform the crib into bigger beds, you've got to look closely at the meaning of numbers! There is a great deal of convertible cribs with changer available on the market, but just a few deserve to be on the top. You will require a portable travel crib.
Sailing themes typically utilize strong colours. For these folks, utilizing a nautical theme whilst decorating can be quite comforting and relaxing. On top of locating the ideal bed frame to hold your little one, you are going to want to come across the most suitable toddler bedding theme which will not merely fit your toddler bed but in addition your youngster's personality.
