Yes, good job, that blog, Ambient Hurricanes. Some pretty deep going articles.

Preaching tomorrow on the subject of "worship" myself.
Taking the story of John 4, with Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well as a starting point, I explain the Hebrew and Greek words for worship: shachah and proskuneo, both meaning submission (to God, of course).
The latter word, proskuneo, is particularly interesting, because etymologically it has to with the dog licking the hand of his master (pros = towards, and kunos = dog)
In some cultures it was (and maybe) is usual to kiss somebody's hand as an act of submission.
I even saw it in the Godfather movies.
Worship is often identified with slow songs, but the Biblical word means submission,in quite a strong way.
Always interesting to delve deeper in the original languages of the Bible.

Updated my blog with a couple of theological posts this week.  Thought you all might be interested.  They're both below the topmost "song of the week" post.

Couldn't find the one with my parents, but found some


I'm the one at the head of the table, already eating and with big ears.  LOL



If you notice it's the exact same place, you can see the balcony in the superior part.

The suit was white (impecable), sadly the photo is old.

Wow, long time ago.

I'm a lapsed Catholic (though I'm not sure I ever sincerely "believed"), and I can't imagine any event that would bring me back to it (or any other religion).  Haven't been to church since age 19 (now 44).

Thanks Steve I love that photo too.  Yeah, I don't really think there's anything unusual about faith that ebbs and flows, especially in the modern world.  Our reaction and relationship to the great unknowable questions are one of the spices of life.  I feel as if my reaquaintaince was something that happened to me...not something I made happen.  It makes me wonder if the determinists are right after all (not that I want any part of a free will/determinism thread) LOL  Life's too short.

Cheers man

Nice photos from both Jim and IvanClap

You know, it is a strange thing, but I used to consider myself a good Catholic, and a strong believer.

I have not been to mass for a long while now. The older I get, the less I believe, to the extent that I am beginning to become ever so agnostic. I want to believe, but the more I see of a terrible world, the less I do.

I am, I suppose, the opposite to most - by that, I mean that most tend to get more involved the older they get, as the end is getting closer, of courseLOL

I regret this.

Here's the closest I can find off the cuff....

My big brother's communion....and me trying to be just like him!   LOL    I always did adore him and I still do.

Thanks Moogtron, Finn and Padraic.

The funny thing is that my father and myself have an exact photo in the exact place, because we all made our first communion in the same school.
