Then 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' the missis and the kid:
...............Our orders was to break you, an' of course we went an' did.
...............We sloshed you with Martinis, an' it wasn't 'ardly fair;
...............But for all the odds agin' you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.
This picture popped up in Blogger Play. Every fifteen seconds or so something new comes up. It is like visiting an art gallery of the world. I see so much in common and so much that is new.
Sarah has written and photographed a very touching story of life in the Middle East. These photos of all the barred gates make you wonder what life is like in those communities. Click on the link and see for yourself.
At one point, a conversation I was in turned to Martin Luther who was 29 years old when he nailed the Luther nailed a copy of the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. He had a heart for the Scriptures to be translated into the common language of his day. He wrote music. But then the question came up "What would Martin Luther do and focus on if he was just starting a ministry today?" That question is one I have been thinking about since it came up.
Dan Kimbal has set us up an interesting thought experiment here. If Luther were alive today and had been raised today would he even recognize himself? What would his religious background be that would cause him to fear a thunderstorm so much that he devoted his life work to God? Luther seems to have a dogmatic personality. He was not given to listening to the opinions of others. How would that fit in the new emerging church? I don't think a man like :Luther will give the answers for the problems of Christianity in this age. We don't need a dogmatic personality to pull us back to an earlier, more pure belief. We need someone who can integrate the truths of the worlds faiths into a new view of religion. We don't go back this time.. We go forward.
