Our 1st family prayer in a Monday morning

-
Our 1st family prayer in a Monday morning happened today at OMR.

Kids ready ontime & their lunch bags ready ontime, that is, 10 mins prior to school bus arrival.
One of the NLAG OMR prayer leaders, Dina, who is also my significant half, led us in the prayer. Kudos to her who is also our skillful hard-working bee in getting lunch bags ontime.
Mommy bee is in her morning walk right after plaiting little one's hairs & her meditation & prayers.

As I am posting this, I see, "ALONE we can do so little; TOGETHER We can do so much," says Helen Keller. And, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms," says Peter and both are saying through 'NLAG - Ministry of Helps - 2018' memento we received last night.

Thanking God for such a great Monday beginning for us.

Wish you too a great Monday. May the grace of God be with our spirit & build our soul & body according to our faith.

Bible demeans women. Really?

-
Image
The charge that the Bible demeans women is a prominent and potent critique in contemporary discourse, powerfully articulated by leading secular thinkers. Figures like Dr. Richard Dawkins, in his book The God Delusion, point directly to Old Testament laws treating women as property and New Testament commands for their submission as clear evidence of the text's misogyny. Similarly, the late Dr. Christopher Hitchens frequently referred such passages to support his claim that religion is fundamentally "contemptuous of women," while neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris argues that relying on these ancient texts for moral guidance is dangerous, with the subordinate status of women serving as a prime example of how religious dogma can perpetuate social harm and inequality.  Together, their critiques frame the Bible not merely as a historical document with outdated views, but as a source of ongoing moral and social problems, focusing the debate squarely on the content and impact of its ...

How to cope with impending expiry date?

Following is a conversation thread among a group of friends.  V: bros how are you all coping with the nearing expiry date. R: nearing ‘expiry date’? I’m looking for organ donors V: Ha ha. R: V, on a serious note, the % of days that I wake up and feel old is slowly increasing - constant aches and pains don’t help either. R: And I keep thinking I should make a will one of these days before it’s too late. V: Yes man and the news of apparently health folks dying of cardiac arrest in their 40s is not helping either.  Looking for some tips to cope S: yes after u go. what if you are in hospital and funds are needed and you are not awake? M: Cope with such news or cope with heart attacks? 😬 V: Open with the impending end… looks like none of you are effected or have come to terms J: Does it really matter, V? The way I figure, may be 3 or 4 people would think of me for any period longer than a day or so after we kick the bucket, and after that, except for the inconvenience caused becau...

Accountability to One Another in Christ

-
Image
  Few years back, my understanding of accountability and judgement got mixed up. If you had asked me a question related to what I did & why I did, I'd immediately think that you were judging me. And, I'd feel vulnerable in responding openly and transparently to your question. I'll often want to know why you want to know & how you are going to use the information.  But the grace of God overflowed for me. Holy Spirit showed me how these worldly principles had been set in my heart causing my passive aggressive behaviors.  Passive aggressive behaviors are the subtle and shrewd things I did or said to smartly avoid answering difficult questions.   Then, I dug into bible to learn the principles of Christ related to accountability in a church community.   Accountability is the fact of being responsible for what I do and able to give a satisfactory reason for it, or the degree to which this happens. Several bible verses speak to the concept of accounta...
