This web log is a place to conduct a conversation on the elusive nature or features of listening to and following God’s will. That is, it is concerned with the “how and why” of seeing with Eyes of Faith. Besides the “how and why” it is also about the “what.” What does one see in the world through Eyes of Faith? This component of the weblog is, alas, likely to be the preponderant content for some time. There are fundamental axioms that I propose here for what it means to “see with eyes of faith.” Seeing with eyes of faith is ultimately about viewing the world as a creature of a personal God.

The Southern Avenger's take on Ron Paul's foreign policy

No question, Rep. Ron Paul's foreign policy is a major challenge to the neo-conservative orthodoxy.

Do not go gently into that good night, Congressman.

Did Dylan Thomas write his famous poem for former Congressman Eric Massa?

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

The closing of a coffee house

The owners of Beans 'N Cream, a techno-hip coffee house in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, found that they could not afford to remain open in the current economic climate. As it happens, they also had to deal with a newly opened restaurant, less than a block away, that served lunch. Curiously, the new restaurant goes by the name of "A better restaurant" or some such thing. (You can probably guess I haven't mustered the interest to visit them. As I write this, I'm sitting in The Depot, a coffee house with wifi access about a dozen miles away in the county seat.)

"What did you go out to the desert to see--a reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.' I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
Jesus, commenting on John the Baptist — Luke 7:24b-28
