What of the Quiet?

2006-10-20T07:32:00.000-06:00

We live in a world of shouting (advertising), yelling (sitcoms), non-stop words (radio & TV), and where we give credit & priority to those who say the most (authors in journals, newspapers, etc), a world where people talk rather than listen, where my viewpoint is king and conversations exist merely to convert the nonbeliever. But what of the quiet? What about those who say the least and DO the

Day 7: Goals, Direction, Common Interests, Beauty

2006-09-23T22:13:00.000-06:00

I'm coming to learn more deeply each day that sometimes all we need as human beings is the soft and sincere smile of understanding. To be validated about our feelings, to be loved and to love, to grow in intimacy towards our fellow man...and woman :o) : this is the purpose of life. It's within this environment of beauty, trust and love that we can truly become what we're meant to be...much more

St George or Bust

2005-09-30T06:59:00.000-06:00

My bags aren't packed, I'm not ready to go. I'll soon be standin' outside her door. I hate to wake up and say goodbye... Hey, so, I guess this is it. All the months of anticipation culminate here. The marathon that I've always wanted to run is tomorrow morning. This time on Sat. I'll be running the St. George Marathon. I was nervous at the beginning of the week, but am calm now. I am excited for

He Binds Me

2005-09-24T23:10:00.000-06:00

cold and lonely I shiver questioning what I have become but through the darkness, persistently reaches a Pure and Holy One He calls me in my darkness and too, He calls in dreams He seeks my soul to bind to his and for me he intervenes through my friends he binds me his and through my sin he cares through little things he speaks to me though oft I'm unawares When love, that mighty weapon cuts

Evil behind smiling eyes...

2005-07-13T15:27:00.000-06:00

Evil so strong, so subtle, so convincing... that legions of trusting follow First a smile, then a touch, Their embraces calm our fears A favor sought doesn't feel right, but their words are candy sweet Walking cautiously forward, again, trusting, the deed is done Betrayed by them they comfort, they smile, they reassure Disguisted by our own actions We turn again to pain And the very ones

Reading Boy

Reading Boy A quiet room In which to look A young boy hefts A curious book The cover brilliant And pages light His intentions are fixed On this beconing sight Page by page His imaginations soar His feet once grounded Now leave the floor A new world thrills His every sense A book transforms To magic from hence ...Reading Ryan (finished 10/04/2005 1:02 AM)

Dark Lord

2005-05-21T00:58:00.000-06:00

Chosen was he, but lost he became When fear led to anger, to hatred, to blame Twisted by greed. Convinced by a lie Refusing the way, a Dark One arose And so it was, the one that he loved Let go of her life when ambitions were known All the while the force could explain The Jedis' intent. The Chancelor's distain Darkened. Lost. Unwilling was he To listen to wisdom, the chosen to be. ~~~~~~~~~

Turtle

2005-05-07T01:21:00.000-06:00

Turtle Gently he fluttered down Patient he was for my call Just then, a moment of silence overcame and in that moment I felt meaning Yet feared I still the time of its departure No heed gave he to my lack of faith A smile was all it took to sooth A gentle smile, how bold, how pure Doubt acknowledged defeat And there I sat with a friend whom I knew Words too heavy, a bit too trite Entwined in

Spying on Area 51.

the_unexplained: So tonight I spied on Area 51. Actually Isn't technology great! Ariel maps of locations that are secret. Looks like we can become military strategisists from the comfort of our own homes... I checked out my house location on Google Maps and viewed it from the satelites. Sure enough, there it was, just as I pictured it...better than maps. I think we're going to put a big

Gazing momentarily into the immediate heavens this morning I couldn't help but wonder how many snowflakes filled the sky. It was a sight remeniceint of the visual description given to the ancient father Abraham as the Lord spoke to him of the vastness of his future posterity: "I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore" ~ Gen. 22: 17.

If God Could Blog from Heaven

2005-02-20T13:25:00.000-07:00

If God were a blogger in heaven and blogged his point of view Do you think we'd see the folly of the many things we do? He may blog of similar issues that Earth's leaders do debate Of rights and fights and freedoms and the union of our state With loving words and a special font I'm sure he'd teach us how Though the nature of the flesh is such that we often stand when we should bow

Reflections on the Power of Thought. by Ryan Mendenhall Almost childlike I instinctively reach for a book. I take it and the thought of posessing it sooooths me... "MINE!" comes the voice of that energy. I want, I need and soon I have a bright, shinny book, with only mild thought of price. They contain answers. They are my medicine. In them I find respit and in them I

Perhaps history will have to repeat itself yet again for a people to learn that there ARE principles that stand thoughout time that have very real consequences in human suffering,

Courses: "Experiential Learning One of the foremost humanist psychologists and educationalists, Carl Rogers (1959) promoted the idea of experiential learning. Rogers argued that the self is the centre of all experience, and introduced the phrase 'unconditional positive regard' as a philosophical approach to dealing with his clients and students. Essentially, each individual should be accepted

Courses: "Abraham Maslow (1954; 1970) researched into human motivation. He saw that there are several levels of human motivational needs which must be addressed if effective learning is to take place. These are as follows: Biological needs - water, food, elimination, rest, warmth, avoidance of pain, etc., Safety needs - protection from the physical and social environment, protection from
