Mindfulness in Reading: Meditations on Words & Wisdom by Ella Berthoud

US pub date - 11/5/24

Reading has long been a meditative experience for me and when I saw this title, I knew I wanted to read it.  I really wanted to love this book but much of it didn’t work for me and I found this to very much be a ‘take what you like and leave the rest’ book.

I hope other readers enjoy this more.

“Earlier that day....” This morning, in Italy, a conference on new religions included what I can only assume was a stunning and fantastic presentation on “Pandeism, or the Creator Who Becomes the Universe: its Roots in Developments” by Michele Amicarelli. I dearly hope they got it on tape!! #NewReligions #NewReligiousMovements #Creator #Universe #Roots #Developments #London #Dream #TurinItaly #Session33 #Religion #Spirituality #ReligionAndSpiritualities https://www.instagram.com/p/B2GER31BrwL/?igshid=14vp8z9oa93gb

Today, You Have Paradise

We often think about us being here and God being way over there.  We are often misled by the devil and our sinful nature that God is somewhere else and we are alone until that day.  Often times prayer may even seem like we are reaching out to God and hoping that He hears us and will answer.  We are constantly in this struggle between being a sinner and a saint.  We are both right here and now…

Biblical and Present-Day Capital Punishment

As of May 2019, twenty-nine states still support the death penalty. It has been abolished in Washington DC and in the rest of the states. In 2018, out of forty-two death sentences in the US, only twenty-five people were actually executed. And as of April 2019, there were a total of 2,673 people on death row in the US, including fifty-four women and twenty-two juveniles. Some Americans believe the death penalty to be unconstitutional and a grave offense against the most Supreme Judge of them all. Some people believe that every one of us deserves a second chance and that only God can take away the life that He gave. When we look more closely at the unbelievable crimes committed by the people now waiting on death row, or when we look at the crime rate in our society, can we honestly assert that the death penalty is really too much? When we protect the life and the rights of these grave offenders, including rapist and murderers, are we taking into consideration the life and the rights of their victims or their would-be victims if they are ever, somehow, released back to society? When we use God to argue the pros and cons of capital punishment, what does God really say about such a situation? The Bible prescribes death for a variety of criminal and social infractions, e.g., murder, adultery, witchcraft, worshipping other gods, and male-male sexual intercourse, among others. The Bible would have adulterous women, disobedient children, people who fraternize with believers in non-sanctioned religions, as well as other offenders, killed or, at least, stoned. Taking into account all these, are we too lenient in punishing crimes, or is the implementation of the death penalty justified? In a previous blog post, we discussed whether or not a stint in prison corrected behavior (INSERT BLOG 7 URL: Punishment or Primer: Does a Stint in Prison Correct Behavior?). If prison is not the answer—if a stint in prison leads merely to repeat offenses—then how should we, as a law-abiding society, punish gross acts of misconduct? Read the full article

Witchcraft: A Graphic History : Stories of wise women, healers, and magic by Lindsay Squire 

US pub date - 10/15/24

Men have been terrified of women and their natural strength and power for millennia. 

Imagine just being yourself - you enjoy helping others from the bounty Mother Earth provides, with tinctures and remedies. You have opinions, and express them. Someone whispers to someone else and then men come. Imposing, stern men who accuse you of witchcraft, because you live your life as freely as possible. They take you from your family, your home, from everything. Then you’re put on trial… 

 Witchcraft: A Graphic History has captivating art that showcases the historical figure of Bridget Eileen ‘Biddy’ Early in this fictionalized account of her life and experiences of the time. 

Keep in mind however, that despite the overall aesthetic appeal of this, much of the information presented is not historically accurate. If you’re going to share this, or read it, be sure to have some factual information accessible.

[authorlourdesduquebaron-blog]

A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time—proof that humans can work magic.
