A Drama Free Promised Land!
Greetings All,
It is relatively early Monday morning, or at least early for the kids. I've been up a while, treadmilling, drinking coffee and reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and loving it, frankly I had trouble setting it down to jump into some quiet time with the Lord, but when you have five children you learn to take advantage of the silence. The men's group has started a new devotional for 2011, This Day with the Master by Dr. Dennis Kinlaw, and I started my quiet time with this reading. He was commenting on the Joshua passage about "whom will you serve," but as I read I couldn't help but think about the Exodus as a whole from enslavement to Promised Land entry. The more I thought about it the more I recognized a metaphorical example of our journey of salvation.
The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, in the same way that we are enslaved in the pits of our lives. Enslaved to sin, but more importantly enslaved to masters other than the Lord. They built monuments to empty gods, pyramid tombs, Sphinxes and obelisks all to honor something, someone other than their God, Yahweh. We build monuments to empty, dead gods ourselves. Theirs were the Pharaohs or the Egyptian pantheon of Gods, ours are our careers, our children's social lives, our bank accounts, the car we drive, the clothes we wear and the list goes on. From their torment and ours we all cry out to God and He hears and responds.
For the Israelites He sent Moses, for us He sends a friend or a family member, or even a total stranger that exposes us to the love of God. They come with a message of hope, not without its commitments, but a hope that there is more than this and that God actually does love us and is with us. The Israelites trusted and followed and went from enslavement to a wilderness journey, not from enslavement to Sabbath rest. From what could be construed as "out of the frying pan and into the fire." One could argue that the wilderness was a tougher life than enslavement in Egypt and scripture will testify to that as we read many accounts where Israel begged Moses to just take them back. They had to learn to trust God not just for the moment, not just in the crisis, but in the everyday events of life. They needed to trust Him for their daily bread rather than cry out for rescue. The wilderness is where they should have learned that trust.
The same is true for us, while many have this idea that life is tough so I accept Jesus and life will be without trouble, but that is simply not the case. Just as the Israelites entered the wilderness, we too have to spend our time learning to trust God for our daily bread. We are enslaved by life then we trust God and are justified, forgiven of our sins and counted righteous before God, but the tough stuff in life that was fully present on Monday is still present on Tuesday even though we accepted Christ as our Savior. The difference is that we are fully aware that the Lord God is with us now and that we are empowered, forgiven and hopeful that in Him things will get better. Rather than simply cry out to Him from our crises we begin to spend time with Him daily, trusting Him to provide our simple needs and to be still our hearts from the frenzy of the world. Wesley would have called our wilderness time, sanctification. That time and grace where God moves us towards becoming perfect in love.
Ultimately a couple of Israelites trusted God, Joshua and Caleb to be exact, and Israel was allowed to move from the wilderness into the Promised Land. Now this was never meant to be some paradise where no one worked and where they just sat around on their lazy butts all day waiting for an angel to bring them breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was envisioned as a place where they could work, strife and drama free; a place where they could work without the toil that has come before; a place where they would be surrounded daily by the blessings of God where they could constantly give thanks. Was it envisioned as Sabbath Rest? Yes, but not in the way we might think, more along the lines of our will aligning with God and fully trusting in Him there by giving us that rest that comes from a life free of strife, fear and "drama" to use a more modern vernacular.
Isn't that where our life in Christ is headed as well? A Promised Land that isn't so much fluffy clouds, wings and harps; but a life free of strife, fear and drama. A life where we have learned to fully trust God in all aspects of our life, where our love has become so perfect that we have set aside greed, pride and lust that directly impacts our relationships and frees us to just be together. In my experience I have gotten glimpses of this, not that my life in Christ has been drama free, as clearly for those that know me, it has not been; but the longer I walk in His love, the longer I focus on Him, the longer I seek a deeper and deeper relationship with Him, the more content and strife and drama free my life seems. I think that could actually be a sort of heaven on earth, life without drama....yes that would be heaven on earth!
Continuing the journey towards perfect love,

Book Review: Crescent Dawn by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler
by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler
Published in 2010 by Putnam
Summary: Dirk spends all of his time on this adventure in the Aegean Sea in and around Turkey as he seeks with the help of Al, Dirk Jr., Summer and Rudi to unravel two seemingly intertwined mysteries relating respectively to the origins of Christianity and Islam. Ancient artifacts have been stolen, holy sites bombed and people killed. The NUMA bunch inadvertently stumbles into the chaos in the performance of their daily duties, but their integrity, curiosity and courage won't allow them to walk away once they are involved until they see the mysteries through to the end. Ancient history mingles with modern technology and politics in what is one of Cussler's best Dirk adventures in the recent past.
Review: The more Clive and Dirk write together, the more seamless they become. It is exciting to think that a book series might out live its author, while maintaining its style and success. Granted Eric Lustbader has taken over the Bourne series after the death of Robert Ludlum, but that was unplanned and in many ways more about the success of the movie franchise. Clive has brought his son alongside, in essence mirroring in real life what has happened in the books as father and son work together while the reader assumes about both book and life that one day the son will take over for the father. One of the things I have really come to respect in the Dirk series is Cussler's willingness to age his characters and bring new ones into the mix to carry on when the aged have to back off. Dirk experiences aches and pains of an older man now, rather than being the unwavering, unhindered hero of his youth. He has concerns of a father and husband and leader of NUMA that he didn't as the young swashbuckling Special Projects director and it makes him that much more accessible. Cussler is one of the best adventure authors out there and he has once again written a magnificent book that connects well with headline issues and yet inspires and entertains us.
Reading Recommendation: YES, I cannot think of a time, other than Sahara, that I would ever consider not recommending a Dirk novel!
Book Review: The Lost World of Genesis One
by John H. Walton
Published in 2009 by InterVarsity Press
Summary: A debate has been raging for nearly a decade now regarding the creation of the earth and humanity. On one side is the fundamentalists who insist that the Bible is literal history and that God created the earth exactly as it is written in Genesis chapter one. The other side is that of the evolutionists who completely remove God from the equation and look exclusively to science to find creation explanations. There exists many points in between and the rhetoric has grown so loud that at times it is difficult to even formulate a decent understanding of belief regarding creation. Enter the scene Mr. Walton, not a scientist, not a fundamentalist, but a professor of Old Testament from Wheaton College who specializes in Ancient Near East Backgrounds and Hebrew.
He is more interested in what the text is trying to tell the original Hebrew audience than in trying to respond to the creation debate and he has done a marvelous job of presenting a brand new understanding of the creation account in Genesis that allows God to create via any means He wants yet is completely true to the text thus giving the fundamentalist an opportunity to adopt a literal understanding that doesn't require ridiculous scientific calisthenics trying to make the text materially true. His basic position is that Genesis one is not an account of material origins, rather it is an account of functional origins with God giving order, structure and purpose to the universe He created. He organizes the book into 18 propositions that build on each other to help us move into his argument a piece at a time. In the end he has written a profound theological book that is incredibly relevant to our modern lives but that is rooted in the culture and text of the ancients.
Review: This is a book review and not a theological review, defense or explanation, but it is hard to separate the two. First, Walton is a gifted communicator and has written a book on very difficult theological issues that is very accessible to any lay person. His format helps to move has through the argument he wants to make in an orderly, understandable way that helps us to digest each piece before we move to the next, and each piece of the argument builds upon that which has come before. He cannot help at times to use "theological" terminology, but he explains both the words and the concepts behind them. Words like teleology and disteleology which become integral to his argument, but one walks away completely understanding both the words and the concepts. He presents an argument that Genesis One is about functional origins, giving everything in the world place and purpose, working from the Hebrew text of scripture and from everything we have this far discovered about the Ancient Near Eastern culture. In the end he also evaluates some of the other theories out there to make a contrast and help us better understand the whole of the creation argument and exactly what stakes people have in it. Again, this is a book review so I will not delve into a theological evaluation, but, as a pastor, I will simply conclude with this, "I think every Christian and non-Christian who is invested in the creation argument should read this book!"
Reading Recommendation: YES, the author has written a very readable book on a complex and controversial subject that will at a minimum make you rethink why you believe what you believe, but may even challenge you to adopt a new way of thinking about the creation account!

Book Review: A Thomas Merton Reader edited by Thomas P. McDonnell
edited by Thomas P. McDonnell
Published in 1989 by Image Books
Summary: The original version of this book was published in 1962 and covered the writings of Merton from the late thirties up through sixty-two. The editors of this revised addition have included writings from the period closer to Merton's death in 1968. It is organized into seven parts that in essence tell a practical and theological autobiography of Merton's life. It begins before he ever entered the monastery and includes some of the writings that really capture how he was feeling about life, both the good and the bad. It continues as he feels himself being drawn towards the spiritual and contemplative and moves on to him entering the Gethsemane Abby in Bardstown, Kentucky. The writings then explore his mentors and some of his doctrinal understandings and even includes a foray into an attempt at understanding love. The last two sections are about his belief as to why the contemplative life is best for him and then his understanding of some of the things of God as has been revealed to him through the contemplative life. This version includes an introduction by M. Scott Peck.
Review: I ordered this book with a desire to get a comprehensive overview of the writings of Merton before I jumped into some of his specific titles. I was not disappointed. I have used this book over the last year as part of my quiet time, reading a few pages each day. Sometimes prose, sometimes poetry, sometimes correspondence, but always engaging. Merton is a brilliant writer, but more than that he has an incredible understanding of God and of the importance of us having a thriving relationship with God. It is this understanding that he so passionately communicates in his writings. While he is unabashedly Catholic in his Christian theology, he is not afraid to consider the merits that other denominations and even other religions have to offer his quest to go deeper in God. Nor is he afraid to reveal some of his faults, short comings and the challenges he has faced over the years. The editor has done a marvelous job of grouping his writings under a theological/biographical framework that drives the reader forward through the book. One is anxious to read more and grasp a firmer understanding of Merton's position on certain things and the fact that this discontinuous group of writings is grouped in this thematic way makes that desire a reality.
Reading Recommendation: Yes, this is a comprehensive collection of Merton works that will serve as a great introduction to his writing. A good start for anyone interested in reading Merton.

Book Review: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
by Rick Riordan
Published in 2010 by Hyperion Book
Summary: Percy is missing, Annabeth is looking for him, but Camp Half Blood is rebuilt and continuing on as usual, minus one Mr. D. Enter our three new half blood heroes: Jason, Piper and Leo. The one with no memory, the manipulative daughter of a movie star and the tinkering mechanic who loves fire. They have been delivered to Camp Half Blood at what seems to be a very late age, but they have a propensity for Latin and things Roman. There is a new prophecy and a new quest as the world of Percy Jackson and friends is facing a new threat after having defeated the Titans. Our three new heroes embark on that quest in an adventure that not only would make Percy proud, but would even put him to shame.
Review: This is another father/son read that I have engaged with Deuce. To date we have read all of Riordan's young readers' books and this is by far the best. While it is longer than any Percy novel, we both read it faster than any of the Percy novels. This one is set in the world of Percy, but don't expect a Percy continuation. In fact, Percy is missing and really doesn't show up of any substance in this novel. We get glimpses of the old characters, but this is a new story with new heroes and they are fabulous heroes. Just as Roman Mythology built upon Greek, The Lost Hero builds upon the foundations of the Percy series and does it even better. Jason is a hero with maturity, heart and mystery as he has lost all of his memory, but knows things and can do things that he cannot explain. Piper is the reluctant beauty; the daughter of a very famous Hollywood actor who spends most of her time getting in trouble at boarding schools. She has a terrible secret that threatens to consume her and her friends, but she joins the quest. Leo is that nervous, tinkering, nerdy kind of fellow who uses humor to evade revealing his true feelings. One has to wonder if Riordan named him Leo thinking of the cowardly lion who was looking for courage. You will quickly fall in love with these three characters and turn page after page as you hunger for more of the story. I already can't wait for the next installment with more anxiousness than I have for the second installment of the Kane Chronicles.
Reading Recommendation: YES!!!! I wasn't sure he could write a better series than Percy, but this first installment is off to an incredible start. Whether you have read Percy or not, read this book!

2-3 tsps cinnamon
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 pkg. Rich's frozen rolls (I usually use just 15-18 rolls out of the package) Pan ones work ok, but individual rise rolls are best.

Book Review: Skeleton Coast by Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul
by Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul
Published in 2006 by the Berkley Publishing Group
Summary: The story begins in the Kalahari Desert in 1896 when a bunch of opportunist steal a bunch of raw diamonds from an African Tribe. The diamonds have been a desert legend ever since, but one that a beautiful young woman from the De Beers corporation is convinced is true. As she attempts to locate the ship they believe sunk with the diamonds she stumbles into a plot by a bunch of extreme environmentalist who are trying to convince the world of the dangers of global warming. As the bad guys chase her, Juan Cabrillo and the Corporation happen to be in the same waters and intercede to save her. Their intercession draws them into the plot and the story moves along at lightning pace through the deserts of Africa and its coastal areas as the corporation confronts rebels, environmentalists and corrupt government officials.
Review: This is Cussler's second novel with Du Brul as co-author but fourth of the Oregon Files Series. Once again, Du Brul has proved to be an exceptional writing partner as the book progresses at a lighting pace and the two authors are seamless. One is hard pressed to be able to tell when Cussler is writing and when Du Brul is writing. This novel has the same limited cast as Dark Watch and that works well to draw us deeper into their lives becoming even more connected with the individuals and their unique personalities. The two authors have pulled a topic from the headlines, i.e. global warming and the fanatical nature of some of the people who believe it is happening, to craft a very believable yet entertaining story. As always, Cabrillo is larger than life and he is fast becoming my favorite Cussler character second only to Dirk and Al. This is absolutely worth the read and a great addition to the series!
Reading Recommendation: Yes, great follow up to Dark Watch!
