PWJ: S2E42 – Bonus – “A vignette from ‘The Great Divorce'”

Leave a comment

To round off Season 3, I thought I’d share a recording of a vignette from The Great Divorce which I recorded some time ago, back when our San Diego C.S. Lewis Reading Group was studying that book.

Resolution Update

Leave a comment

So far this year I haven’t posted any updates regarding my new year resolutions. Well, I’m pleased to report that things are going pretty well…

Resolution #1: Read the entire Bible
I have been sticking with my Bible study reading plan and I’m actually a little ahead of schedule. I’ve finished the entire Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), Matthew’s Gospel, Acts of the Apostles and I’m nearing the end of the Psalms. On the subject of Bible reading plans, Meg Hunter-Kilmer recently posted an article about an alternative reading plan, which I might tackle next year.

Resolution #2: Get back into martial arts
I have now been doing Kung Fu (Choi Li Fut) for three and a half months. I’ve already got my first three stripes and I should be taking my Yellow Sash test sometime in May, after the Kung Fu tournament this weekend.

Resolution #3: Run a marathon
Out of my three resolutions, this is the only one which is a little shaky. I have been building my fitness back up. As well as Kung Fu, I have returned to playing Ultimate Frisbee each week (far more enjoyable than just running sprints) 🙂 I have also been having some intensive massage therapy to sort out some of my muscle issues in my right side. I hope to start actually going out for runs sometime next month.

The Beatitudes (The Message)

Leave a comment

The other day I was praying the Beatitudes and remembered that years ago I rather enjoyed the version found in “The Message”.

“The Message” is a paraphrase, rather than a translation of Sacred Scripture. Its purpose is to produce the Bible in more contemporary language. Some of the rendering attempts are honestly pretty awful. However, I have found this book to be of some use, especially when reading passages with which I’ve been extremely familiar.

Here’s its attempt at the Beatitudes:

When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said:

“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.

“You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
