Hi-ya! Ever since I was eight years old after seeing how practical it can be, I always wanted to take up some form of martial arts. At the time I probably knew the names of about six disciplines or so. That is how interested I was. Sadly, for some reason or other it didn’t really …

Season of the Moses
As we endure Lenten or fasting season and hold to our vows – hopefully more to be followed than this year’s resolutions – I am reminded of God’s commandments for his chosen ones as depicted in Exodus. How to act, how to worship, what to eat, what to wear, what not to eat, how not …
Fair Trade and Middle Class values
Although I think Fair Trade is a good idea I am convinced it often does little more than making middle class people feel good about being rich! Can you afford to buy Fair Trade? I can and often try to. It makes me feel good as if I am making the world a better place! …
The Religious Hatred Bill Question
I’ve been following the progress of the religious hatred bill debate since the start of last October (05) when the protest of hundreds against it took place. I’ve even been doing pieces on it for an online writer/journal called Dogmanet. But I have not made my view (where I stand) on the possibility of the …
Retiring GuiltyExpression?
Dear all, Activity on GE has been pretty much zero, and I just don’t seem to have enough time to write new articles. Meanwhile the spam attacks continue, and I don’t really have time to fight them off, King Canute-like. So, I am thinking of retiring the site, and making a static archive of it …

Anyway, it’s back now… Things have slowed down a bit here recently, but I may be able to put some work into getting some new articles soon, …
Folklore vs. Biblical God
Whatever happened to Jewish myths, fiction and parables? In the manner that we speak of indigenous Indian, African, or Greek cultural fables? Did Israelites have romantic myths, or folklores for that matter? Myths they could enjoy, and entertain without considering it history, or the law of God. If so how would it be next to …

(what are we about that has eternity written on it?) these are the days of names…Rick, Bill, and Joyce the days of mega church cells leaving the institutional church and these are the days of book blogging gatherings and purpose driven prophetic words emerging and night is coming… the days are fading away. night is …
More than a name
What is so miraculous about the name of Jesus? How did this name we say become so, so life-giving? Like described in Acts 4:12 for example; Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. In …
Untitled
God, you made some amazing stuff. The snow shows everything in a new light, but it’s amazing all the time. Gravity, wind, photons dappling my carpet. My iris, my fingernail, human relationships. You made them. You must love intricacy. Why is there so much of everything? And so little time. Please let me live long …
