Path to Freedom

From tomorrow's paper, a story about the Path to Freedom family: "O, Pioneers in Pasadena," by Joe Robinson.

"We believe that a step backward is progress," says Dervaes, a former beekeeper, teacher and constant gardener trapped in the wrong century. "Some people might feel we're regressing, but I feel we're progressing to a better life. We've lost that independence and the things that make us truly happy. The people that got us here must have done something right. We want to repeat that for the next generation."

And a short guide to beginning a micro-farm: "Novice's guide to an urban homestead."

Mouw's Musings

The president of Fuller Seminary now writes a blog at Mouw's Musings. Familiar title! But, undoubtedly, his musings will be much more erudite than mine.

Seeing things in a different way

Shhh...I'm not really here. But I couldn't resist linking to this article in the LA Times (via PTF): "She's L.A.'s Pedal Pusher," about a young woman, Monica Howe, who is promoting bicycle riding as "everyday transportation" in Los Angeles.

To ride a bike in L.A. is to examine the accepted ways of doing things [...] It's a way of stepping out and seeing things in a different way.

A time to refrain

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak."

Right now it is a time for silence here and speaking elsewhere. I do have plans for a revamped Web site at some point, so please check back occasionally.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

I'm back

I finally figured out what to change in my publishing settings so I could get my posts to show up here. I don't know why or when the requirements were changed, but hopefully I'm good for a while again.

Darfur Sunday

This Sunday, December 10, has been set aside as a day of prayer and action for Darfur, organized by Evangelicals for Darfur, a partnership between the
Save Darfur Coalition and Sojourners.

A toolkit of resources (.pdf), including phone numbers and messages to send, is available online.

Risk

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go...
