Unplanted Seeds

This is less of a blog entry and more of a little shelf, holding seeds of thought yet to be planted. I'll probably update this as days pass and more seeds are discovered. Feel free to comment on any.

• Letters to the Martyrs: Essays in this series would be composed as letters to the martyrs of the faith, thanking them for their sacrifice and taking note of the specific attributes exemplified in their lives and final moments. Examples would range from ancients like Stephen (in Acts) to contemporaries like Cassie Bernall. #11.27.2009
  
• The Oracle of Support Raising: In the book of Nahum, the word "oracle" is used to speak of the message to Nineveh, but the actual Hebrew word means "burden". The Oracle of Support Raising addresses the burden that comes with a mission or ministry founded on distributed support. Each person that contributes and enables the work is a stakeholder in it. As such, the oracle of the minister is both the message and work he/she carries as well as the responsibility he/she has to remain pure, steadfast, and devoted to the Lord, because more than just his/her time and resources are depending on it. #12.07.2009
