little stream, Camp Branch, flowing
through the ever-renewing
woods on the steep slopes,
by what name did the Shawneecall you? We live briefly in time
longer than we will live to know
When we who know you by name
are gone, what will they call you?
When our nation has fallen as allthings…
About
"There are those who talk about God’s cause, and about wanting to serve that cause. This is all very fine, but how, exactly, is this to be interpreted? The common view thinks that God has a cause in the human sense of the word, that he is some kind of advocate, interested in having his cause win and therefore eager to help the person who would serve his cause, and so forth. If we follow this line of thinking God becomes a minor character who arrives at the embarrassing dilemma of needing human beings.
No, no! God has no cause, is no advocate in this sense. For God everything is infinitely nothing. Any second he wills it, everything, including all opposition to his cause, becomes nothing. Wanting to serve God’s cause can never mean the same thing as coming to his aid. He is quite able to accomplish his will alone."

Now I remember why I quit tumblr
Have they still not added a comments ability? Is it still only like or reblog?
Unsure of which tech company - Facebook, Google or Apple - that I am paranoid about, I thought I’d come back to tumblr for a bit.
(Plus they have a nice new iOS app.)

Lost
So based on several quality endorsements I decided to start watching Lost season one (via Netflix streaming). This is a dramatic shift from watching very little TV or movies in the last decade. I am nine episodes in and so far I am enjoying it. I am somewhat sad to not have been part of the six-year discussions as things unfolded each week but I am thankful to be able to watch when I want and without commercials. The license for Lost on Netflix is slated to end on 7/1/10; if this happens I don’t know if I’d bother to keep going or not.
