Agreed. No time, this, to be too preoccupied or distracted or apathetic to . . . notice.

You’ve been following the bees too? Great to read about it here–I’m not the only one becoming alarmed by the far-more-immediate-than-people-think implications of these issues.

Not only are we looking at some drastic changes in our daily lives (would we recognize them in 10 years?–will we look back to today and long for the good old days?), we’re looking at a new immediacy to the message of Christ’s coming.

Thanks, Jacqui. I got one through the source in the first comment above. But for any others who are looking for the book, this now makes two good sources.

Comment on Luke Russert Remembers His Dad by Ken

Ken — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:45:32 +0000

Well, Dr. G. of the Registered Name and self-styled as “Distinguished Professor,” you’re entitled to your view, negative and critical though it may be.

As with every human being on the planet, Tim was flawed, and for those who find their own sense of worth in pointing out the flaws of others, his imperfections were as easy to find as anyone else’s.

But for those who enjoy finding the best in people and who admire those who live such values as faith and family and positivity, both Tim and Luke have demonstrated many uplifting qualities worth emulating.

Criticism is an easy and cheap choice. Recognizing the best in people is also a choice.

We each decide.

Comment on Luke Russert Remembers His Dad by Leland Milton Goldblatt

The coverage of Tim Russert’s death was often overblown, self-congratulatory and self-indulgent.

Tim Russert was, shall we say, not a very popular while he was alive, he was routinely castigated as a Bush lapdog.

“I now know more about the pompous king maker Tim Russert than I do many members of my family.”

After Russert’s shocking death Friday at age 58, television kept serving up witnesses to his expertise, intelligence, diligence, kindness, faith, love of family, Buffalo and the Buffalo Bills.

Is the grieving process going on TV? On 06.16.2008 “Today,” Matt Lauer interviewed Russert’s son, Luke. The show basically gave over the first half-hour to the Russert story. I am shocked at the publicity tour of Tim Russert’s grieving son.

Presidential candidates aren’t questioned at such length on morning programs. The self-indulgence was breathtaking.

Shalom,

Wow. Luke is such a strong man. So much like his Dad. The tribute to Luke from his Dad made me cry my eyes out.

Comment on Oprah Drinks the New Age Kool-Aid by George

George — Sun, 25 May 2008 05:51:40 +0000

Agree generally overall that people are mislead to believe that if God resides in them thus they are righteous or have much spiritual power or the rights to incorporate from within. Just like when Oprah stated that there are many paths to God and/or Jesus is not the only way. It leads folks to believe their way is okay, whatever their lifestyle is, they are still part of God.
Part of their statements are correct though, God does dwell in all things and we should see God in them. Problem that the secular or irreverant souls and Laodicean mindset interpret these phrases incorrectly…as you have stated. Same concept with Oprah’s statement above, God reaches all souls and comes down to every level so the path to Him is not just one sole path, Christ Jesus. Once again folks do not interpret it so.
My deep study as a fellow SDA leader is that folks like Tolle, Oprah and New Age take verses and spiritual concepts in Scripture incorrectly. Their intentions are good and have the heart of their followers in the right path but like loving parents they appease their children-followers in order to gain their support or approval. Not recognizing the Kool-Aid they are drinking like you said.
The hard thing that I am digesting and do pray or give your opinion, there is much truth in the books that Tolle wrote. We do need to come to a conscious awakening to the presence of now, Jesus and Scripture keep emphasing to not worry about tomorrow or the past (can provide a dozen verses). The power of now or Meditating is coming into a rest and quietness so the Holy Spirit, our angel(s) and spirit of God and Christ Jesus can speak to us–state of no thoughts.
One huge concept in which our church and Evangelical christians is that we do not bring Scripture or spiritual concepts or what Christ is trying to reveal, within or a deeper spiritual level. Like peeling an onion, the church is a congregation of individuals but it points to individuals & within also, churches do not go to heaven, people do. Another example, the Hebrew and Heavenly Sanctuaries are powerful object lessons in preparing and teaching of the third Sanctuary, individual; ‘Know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost’?
Our Laodicea state has blinded us in not completing what EG White has stated as the full truth or complete bible at the time of the end. Feel real sad that our SDA church has not fully interpretated the rich verses of Christ & Scripture to a deeper layer or personal level within…some of us have and many more will as prophecy states. Amazes me that spiritual leaders like Tolle see the deeper insight, in the psychology of the mind but sad that he combines truth with error and provide it as Kool-Aide to the masses & indoctrinating the masses more than we are…2 million+ on every Monday series.
Guess this is what Spiritualism is about but as leaders or followers we need to study their message to be able to extract the truth from error…to help their and our flock. Like eastern religions their form of meditation like Yoga teaches how to tap into our spiritual or commune with God but most of their beliefs are pagan. Yes, even the most elect will be mis-guided, we truely have to me careful in being misguided by such intellects like Tolle or Oprah, the feel good religion.
Am currently creating a study on quotes of Christ and other verses and their deeper spiritual meaning of individuals and/or personal walk and connection with God. Like the Church, Sanctuary/Temple, Kingdom of God is within, so forth, you are welcome to it if you want. Believe Prophecy & who the antichrist or enemy is important but more important is who we are within or how to tap into it…like how to have a personal relationship with spirit of life in Christ, Holy Spirit, our angel and how the mind, character and personality functions to become stronger for the end time battle or persecution.

No Nuteena?!? (echoing expletive) RIP Nuteena

Ruskets were my all-time favorite cereal! We used to put peanut butter between them, kind of like a sideways sandwich, then drizzle honey all over them, before adding the milk. Yum.

By the way, they carry “Weetabix Organic Cereal” (not Weet-Bix, they’re made by a UK company) at a lot of grocery stores here in the US (at least in Michigan and California), I get them at Safeway… Almost the same as Ruskets. But not quite.

Interesting tidbit:
Weet-Bix don’t get soggy quite as fast as Weetabix.
