Reed http://fccpomona.org/hidden-wounds-human-costs.html/comment-page-1#comment-2182 E. Reed Sat, 12 May 2012 02:55:10 +0000 http://fccpomona.org/?p=888#comment-2182 Beautifully said. I had an uncle who committed suicide after W. W. II when little was known about PTSD. We had no idea what he was going through. How much are we willing to do for world peace? Think how many of the world's problems could be solved if we all had this peace. Beautifully said.

]]> Comment on Trappings of Church? by Ginger Eckeard http://fccpomona.org/trappings-of-church.html/comment-page-1#comment-1943 Ginger Eckeard Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:36:40 +0000 http://fccpomona.org/?p=862#comment-1943 I agree. Calling oneself spiritual without a church community does not make sense. The first point of the new project is sharing Jesus with people who don't do church. By doing that, they are churched, and it sounds very dishonest in how they draw them into a church community. What one gains by being involved in the life of a church community really can't be measured. Those relationships that are nurtured by other members, pastors, and Jesus Christ are what allow us to be spiritual in nature. I can't imagine what life would be like without my church. I agree.

It was the Day of National Mourning, the day Kennedy was buried. Barbara's mother and uncle had been held up at the airport in Dalles when he was shot. After our rehearsal and dinner, in China Town, on Sunday night, my brother hosted a "Bachelor Party" at the Pink Pussycat in Hollywood. It was amateur night! All day monday, I was confined to me old bedroom because Barbara and her mother were at the house until it was time for them to check into the motel where Barbara would dress. So I was not near a TV. Eceryone showed up at the wedding at the Chapel in Wilshire Ave. Presbyterian Church, where Barbara was the Soprano soloist. There were no classes, of course, people were distraught over the funeral events. Many came in black. It was a typical west coast wedding. No dinner, just cake, nuts and punch. I could afford one night in the honeymoon suite at the Beverly Hilton. Max and Bea Krone had us for dinner at their home in Idyllwild, the next night. Then a couplpe of teach-friends lent us their home in Las Vegas. They left names of friends that could get us in to shows on the strip without paying. On Saturday, we drove to L.A. in time to attend the USC-UCLA game, which had been postponed from the previous Saturday. That night we spent our first night in the glass-enclosed patio of Darlene Lawrence's mother's in Englewood. We were leaving for our State-Department Sponsored tour of Europe and Israel in January. We only had an "electric sheet" for extra warmth. Julie, I don't have your email address. contact mee some time, please. I need your help.

]]> Comment on Thinking about God… by Levi Oracion http://fccpomona.org/about-god.html/comment-page-1#comment-1555 Levi Oracion Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:42:05 +0000 http://fccpomona.org/?p=650#comment-1555 Right on! But such comments, pious and righteous as they are, do not really address the problems that arise from the theistic understanding of God. "Hearing God," and "seeing in God," in people are vastly different from hearing from God himself. One big problem we have is the deafening silence of God, his seeming neutrality or indifference to the horrendous evil events that happen in our time---so we now remember the 10th anniversary of 9/11, where was God when it happened; and there are the horrible wars that sprang out because of that---Iraq, Afghanistan, and now the Arab Spring. We have to take these things into account in speaking about God. I am not denying God's existence, but these things are realities which our pious understanding of God cannot account for. We have grave problems as a people, and we call upon God to give us guidance in dealing with them---is there some theology that can give us light on how God would guide us deal with them, and empower us in doing so?
