The Petra Zone

Yep Luther was pretty crazy. And often pretty awesome. Chrysostom has the same rep. Luther just said too many fantastic and bombastic things, like the entire Heidelberg Disputation, to be ignored. Shall I start in on awesome Luther quotes? I believe that by my own reason or strength I cannot believe...

I was reminded of this great (and certainly pithy) quote by the other discussion.

God doesn't need your good works. Your neighbour does.

Some attribute this directly to Luther, but I can't find a source. Still it is distinctly Lutheran sounding isn't it.

I think most art at its best would preach inarticulately. It can point the way to the preached word or open the door to thinking about spiritual subjects (good things), however the domain of most art is the evoking of emotion (which also can be good) and the preaching of the Word needs to be more co...

I don't do kitty litter-they will all go outside and find convenient spots such as my neighbours' freshly dug gardens. And if they don't they'll get beaten.

That's evil. I know someone who made a kitty litter cake for her son's birthday, replete with tootsie roll poop. Man it looked authentic.

I absolutely disagree that actions reveal Christ most fully. They do not. This is the domain of preaching (I'm sure everyone finds that a shocking revelation. Ha). People can not discern the truth of God unless it is revealed to them. Natural religion is one of law and capable of finding condemnatio...

Obviously. Been reading 17th c Pietists again winterlens?

There's no way they could be as good at it as I am. This is my God-given talent. Winterlens is a thorn in your side? However you wish to phrase it, I have no interest in any kind of life that doesn't involve me living alone with 56 cats. Is this Ms Foster a cat? Then she can be one of my precious ba...

I am not marrying anyone. Ever. This is my other service to the brethren. SU: you wear dirty laundry? Are you a psych patient or something? I can totally see you hoarding your poopy drawers in your closet, yelling "They don't need to be washed! Quit stealing my clothes!" and trying to wear them. My ...

Reading too much Julian of Eclanum lately winterlens? May I suggest an antidote.


Everyone has to have a thorn in their side to keep from pride my friend. I happen to think this is my service to the brethren so I try to spread it around equally.

If that ever did happen, you'd just jump up at the "forever hold your peace" part to yell "HE'S MINE!" and the two of you would run off together.

Yes you are confused. I told you if you don't want to work you get locked in the basement. This is routine punishment in my family. Anyway I don't think I'd be able to steal you from winterlens.

Well then. To the basement.

While I normally obsessively check on your location and other facts just like most normal people, I admit I have been slipping.


Now get to work.

When I buy tea at the coffee and tea merchants, I like to smell the coffee beans. These of course are quality beans so maybe that's why they smell good. Starbuck's coffee smells burnt and stale.

Isn't "chicken reincarnation of hitler" More along the lines of the news than whatever sports? Of course it is. I get all mine from the weekly world news. Brilliant journalism there. And SU if you are at my house, why aren't you rebuilding that wall my brother ripped apart? You have to earn your kee...
