This is my problem. If I start a book I feel morally obligated to finish it.

You know I was going to teach a 40 minute session on the theological implications of Christus Victor for the adults at my church, but instead I'll just show them the Office gifs thread. Can't beat perfection.

The story of our relationship to the Earth is written more truthfully on the land than on the page. It lasts there. The land remembers what we said and what we did.

Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

Ceremony focuses attention so that attention becomes intention. If you stand together and profess a thing before your community, it holds you accountable.

From the viewpoint of a private property economy, the gift is deemed to be free because we obtain it free of charge, at no cost. But in the gift economy, gifts are not free.The essence of the gift is that it creates a set of relationships. The currency of a gift economy is, at its root, reciprocity.

I'm sure there are other reasons, but I wonder if it's tied up in our (American) cultural understanding of wealthy as "morally good" and poor as "morally bad." In this framework homelessness is the ultimate moral failure.

My church keeps the Easter greeting for all of Eastertide (which I love!), but I'd never lived somewhere where they said it in the grocery store or on the street. 😄
