Confessions #14: T-shirts
01.12.08
After a long break for Christmas and New Years, I return, with nothing much significant to say, as you'll see.
In the New Testament letter to the Hebrews, the author talks about how Jesus, by "the power of an indestructible life", was ordained into perpetual priesthood. I've always thought that would make a good Christian t-shirt. On the front it would say "indestructible" in those bold blocky letters that are each vertically misplaced giving that "under construction" or "hey-the-ground-is-shaking" feel. Then on the back it would say "Melchizedek style" in a cool script with the Hebrews verse reference on the back. I think it could sell. Does anyone know Mardel's buyer? Pretty ridiculous, I know. Maybe it's obvious I had the idea while working for a church youth group, or maybe I just made it up... It reminds you of a superhero, does it not?
Of course more serious things could be said, things about seeking life outside of the one who is life, things about his life in us being indestructible, breaking through the cracked and dying flesh-skin of the old man, things about how we ought to follow Paul in seeking the fellowship of Christ's suffering and the power of his resurrection..., but for now it's t-shirt ideas. Have I told you about the one that combines Benjamin Franklin and Aretha Franklin?

"With what end in view do you again and again walk along difficult and laborious paths?
There is no rest where you seek for it. Seek for what you seek, but it is not where you are looking for it.
You seek the happy life in the region of death; it is not there.
How can there be a happy life where there is not even life?
He who for us is life itself descended here and endured our death and slew it by the abundance of his life." - Augustine

ugh...this one is hard
Here's a Bible quiz that Alastair Roberts created after he conquered all the others. It's quite challenging. How do you fair?
You rank 53% on the biblical comprehension scale.
Good work. You obviously know your Bible well. However, there remains plenty of room for improvement. Close attention to the details of Scripture can result in great rewards over time. Perhaps a more focused Bible study plan would help you improve your level of biblical comprehension.

who are you?
 You scored as Karl Barth. The daddy of 20th Century theology. You perceive liberal theology to be a disaster and so you insist that the revelation of Christ, not human experience, should be the starting point for all theology. |

uncle! thoughts on moleskins to start....
Okay, i give in. I'm going to blog now. I don't know if it's cause I feel inspired or just because I just read a friends really cool blog and feel out of the loop, but here goes nothing...really, mostly nothing.
Now I know there are great things to live up to as a blogger in the 21st century. I mean, people have been doing it for what, 5, maybe 10 years now. I've got a lot profundity, randomness, and clever little artsy stuff to put out. I should get busy.
My first bit will be a little plug for moleskin journals. I'm probably late to the game on this one, but it doesn't matter when I show, just how I play when I get there, right? My moleskin is the basic "ruled notebook". It has 192 ruled pages with a pocket in the back for all that stuff that you would put in a journal pocket if you had one, and it is the legendary notebook of Picasso, Hemingway, and some guy named Chatwin. They were originally made by small French bookbinders, whom may have been small in stature (as Meredith would like to believe), but were most likely small in the commercial sense of the word. It's really the journal that I have always wanted. Maybe my life will be better and my thoughts more profound now...yes, as sure as the Nike is fast they will!
I could go on, and I probably should seeing as this could possibly be the first and last entry in my blog. But, I will risk it, close my entry for the day, trusting that tomorrow will bring more fascinating thoughts for me to share with everyone and no one at the same time.
Till then, Au revoir! (that's french for goodbye...) ;)
