The new format is much more readable. Thanks!

Hi Dave--just wanted to let you know I changed the theme for my blog so hopefully it's more readable now.

Hi Dave: you might want to check out Readability--drag the bookmarklet into your bookmarks bar and click on blog posts or news websites. It's magically strips everything away from blog posts leaving black text text on a white background.…

Thanks for the comment, Dave. I'll try to get around to changing the blog format one of these days...

Cherice--
I liked your worship reflection on prophecy from Gurneyites, and would like to continue reading your blog, but probably won't, because it's physically almost impossible to do so.
I think you may not be aware of how hard white…
Forrest Curo commented on Dave Trowbridge's blog post 'The Empty Tomb'
Well, technically the earliest story is from Paul:~ "I saw him, after so-&-so and so&so and upty-upty many other people," who says absolutely nothing about a tomb.
The tomb is unlikely; Romans didn't work that way. They…
The Empty Tomb
A wag once said that it's always darkest just before the lights go out. We may chuckle at this cynical modification of a common aphorism, but I'd suggest that in some ways it's truer to life than the original. I think we've all experienced--I know I have--that moment when belief falters, hope dies, and we cry out from our cross: my God, my God, why have you forgotten me? And sometimes--again, I speak from my own experience--the darkness seems not to yield. The lights don't come back on.Today,…See More

- Hi Dave: you might want to check out Readability--drag the bookmarklet into your bookmarks bar and click on blog posts or news websites. It's magically strips everything away from blog posts leaving black text text on a white background. Sidebars, widgets and ads are gone leaving an ultra-readable (or printable) format. I use it all the time to declutter the web. Find it here: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

Called Out, Called In: Maggie Harrison's Loving Challenge
There is a prophet in our midst, and her name is Maggie Harrison. Rousing many like fire, making my skin itch at being possibly excluded from this club that I don't even belong to, really (when asked if I am a Quaker, I always respond, 'Not yet.'), but want to think I can put on and off like so much-- clothing?And, nakedness. Taking off the mantle of Religious Identity, making space for the un-knowingness of living INTO something, removing armor and scaffold and hard won (or not so hard won)…See More

Caroline Gulian replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
First of all, Mazel Tov! Prayers to your pregnancy, may it be a healthy, happy event in your life.
With my children, I have raised them with my beliefs, explained why I dress Plain for worship, and leave them with what I have taught in hopes…
Paula Roberts replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Congratulations Elin! I don't have children so I'm going to speculate, but I don't think raising your kids differently from other people is going to injure them at all. Of course I am surrounded by people who are doing that very…
Barbara Smith replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Elin - Congratulations! The bigger question you are raising is how to bring up spiritually healthy children in an unhealthy world! We have nine children and homeschooled all of them right from the start. They are amazing people and I know for a fact…
Mackenzie replied to Lauren Smith's discussion 'Parenting as a Friend'
I'm not a parent, so grain of salt ;)
I maintain the opinion that setting a good example from the earliest age is what's important. Consistent rules probably have the best chance of being followed. That's not to say "when…
Zaley Warkentin replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
My thought would be to provide your child with both options and let them choose day to day...
When I was much younger I was dressed both plain and modern, but as I grew older my parents encouraged me to dress mainstream. In my case, I became more…
Plain babies and children
I am expecting a baby if everything goes well this summer. I just want to hear if there are any thoughts about teaching and showing the plain way to children. The table is open and I just want to hear what you think about this, is it even possible in today's society to raise children like that?As both me and my partner wear mainly clothes of a modern make we will buy 'normal' clothes for our children but try buy a lot of things second hand or try to swap them with others. When our child is a…See More

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 32 and 1 Corinthians 5
Deuteronomy 32 – The Song of Moses [the number of verses equals the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet – 23 - times 3. It concludes the teaching books of the Old Testament: “my teaching will fall like drops of rain and form on the earth like dew. My words will fall like showers on young plants, like gentle rain on tender grass” (32:2). From the beginning, the Judeo-Christian vision has been that we humans are here on earth as creations of a “mighty,” “just” and “perfect” God, who seeks…See More
