My hut lies in the middle of a dense forest; Every year the green ivy grows longer. No news of the affairs of men, Only the occasional song of a woodcutter. The sun shines and I mend my robe; When the moon comes out I read Buddhist poems. I have nothing to report, my friends.

We’ve noticed, number one, that these individuals develop what we call “self-mistrust.” It’s a view of yourself that you can’t always rely on yourself, that you’re not always there in the ways you need to be, and others, of course, tell you all the time, you’re not responsible, you’re not coming through when you need to. The anxiety comes up... - http://nbr.tumblr.com/post...

Khaled tried to read the names on the Marines’ uniforms when they entered the house, “but they were covered with blood,” he said. “Their hands and vests were soaked in blood. They only wanted revenge. When they came, I could see tears in their eyes. When they left, they were laughing.” “They are barbarians,” added Yusuf, Khaled’s uncle, the only... - http://nbr.tumblr.com/post...

Re: nakedpastor Deconstructs Mark Driscoll’s ‘Obama Is Not a True Christian’ Tweet - http://www.patheos.com/blogs...
"There's no "admonishment" here other than a clear exposition of what Driscoll is actually saying. If nakedpastor were an atheist, he could easily have said exactly the same thing about Driscoll's tweet. You may not like nakedpastor's beliefs, but they don't seem particularly relevant in this context." - Nathan Rein
