I'm pretty sure that at one time, that was actually "Lord of mercy" or "Lord have mercy," but it's been mashed together as the South tends to do. Quick updates on my life (Lord have mercy):
So. AGGHHH! Better now, thanks :)
I've decided to run another 1/2 marathon. After decidedly deciding that I was NEVER going to run another mile in my life. I just can't not run. Can a fish really not swim? Can a scorpion really not sting? Can a frog really not hop?
I really like Greek. It's hard and all, but kind of fun :) All of my classes are pretty okay, actually, so far. Except preaching which makes me want to throw up more and more every time I go. Every word in every book I read makes me more and more nervous! Why would anyone want to do this week after week??! I can't even come up with one sermon!
I realized my Kingdom of God description is that, in the KOG, no one will be just another Jew in a ditch (read Thurman, "Jesus and the Disinherited"). My main ethic stems from respect for human dignity, seeing that we are all children of God, and wanting right relationships with each other, with God, and with the earth. That for me is the KOG and what evangelism is about for me. Showing people a God through whom comes deliverance (salvation in Greek means rescue, being saved from whatever binds you) and with whom you can be restored and redeemed. A holistic salvation instead of just "soul salvation," which is dualistic anyway and I'm not a Gnostic, so...
