it entitled it 299 english chinese words and posted it with 5 other poems by others here leave a comment posted in poetry translation healing hurts in the face of fear posted on january 17 2018 leave a comment susan a friend and a fellow missionary kid has written of a time of terror a moment of fear when she was four or five years old she starts her story like this the early 1960s in indonesia were years of political upheaval the communist party was strong and growing in power there were protest marches in our city against malaysia and against the british i remember the air raid drills in surabaya when i was 4 or 5 years old the siren would blow and every light had to be turned off we sat in the dark until the siren blew again if it happened during dinner time mom put a sock over a flashlight and fed my baby brother by its faint glow one night while we were sleeping someone painted anti british signs all over the front wall of our house right outside the window of my bedroom my dad asked supii who worked at our home to clean the wall i didn t know at the time what all of those signs meant but i watched as they slowly disappeared behind the layers of whitewash i have a similar story to start out telling the late 1960s in vietnam were years of political upheaval the communist party was strong and growing in power there were protest marches in america against the pentagon and against the president i remember the arvn field drills in thủ đức when i was 4 or 5 years old the smell of tear gas would overwhelm the pungency of red earth we watched from the ditch along the dirt road the smoothest surface for us neighborhood kids to chơi bi play marbles if it was closer to dinner time mom would call us into the yard of the house protected by fencing of barbed wire one night while we were sleeping machine gun fire and bursts of rockets erupted next to our house right outside the window of my bedroom my dad had carried me and my two siblings into the bathroom where we hid under a mattress with my mom i didn t know at the time what all of the racket meant on this tết nguyên đán lunar new year 1968 susan goes on with what happens next when i read these two paragraphs a couple of days ago i was deeply moved i couldn t sleep one night i imagined someone was standing outside my window when i called out to my dad and told him i was afraid he took me outside onto our front porch it was dark and quiet no street lamps we looked up dad pointed out god s creation the moon the stars they were bright in the night sky he reminded me of god s presence with us there was no need to be afraid i felt peaceful no longer fearful i went back to bed and fell sound asleep i was taken back by susan s story to a moment when my dad was battling the cancer that came into his lungs when he and my mom were back in vietnam it was their first trip there after the war they had returned with dear friends vietnamese orphans who had escaped vietnam and had grown up in america and with the orphanage director and his wife who had led their escape dad s fight against the disease started with a cough that wouldn t go away they were in a bus on a pungent dirt road or he was out talking with folks laughing with them recalling vietnamese phrases long since pushed away by bits of mandarin and cantonese by karo batak by bahasa indonesia he found his vietnamese voice again while praying in the floor with a new friend diagnosed with hiv aids dad was coughing praying and coughing it was later diagnosed as a late stage disease spread into the spine and as multiple tumors in the brain at their home in the usa dad agreed to go outside for a walk under the big texas sky he reminded me of god s presence with us there was no need to be afraid he said but the story rewinds further back to just after tet 1968 i couldn t sleep one night my dad who stayed in our house in vietnam had come for a two week visit with our family in our high rise apartment in thailand i had been caught smashing the tile roofs of the houses below the balcony of our apartment i had enlisted the help of another missionary kid to gather big rocks into the elevator and onto the landing for this very purpose dad had punished me as a good father should and on top of that i was banished from the swimming pool for two weeks worse he had made me go with him to apologize to the families whose homes had been damaged that night i could not get the unhappiness registered on their faces out of my head if i was truly sad for them i recall being afraid that they might somehow retaliate now i m telling my stories backwards in reverse my family has laughed many times together about my little missionary kid mischief and my responses to dad s punishment what i m recently impressed with nonetheless is how deep the impact of trauma on us humans at any age and how kind god is to bring us to places of healing usually in the face of fear leave a comment posted in uncategorized 2014 blog posts posted on april 29 2014 leave a comment if you re looking for them then go to blt where i m blogging with a few friends leave a comment posted in blog tagged 2014 blogging http bltnotjustasandwich com on reading the greek bible as a glutton posted on december 29 2013 1 comment my absolutely favorite blogpost written by rachel held evans is the one she entitles everyone s a biblical literalist until you bring up gluttony unfortunately she wrote this one against bullying against calling other people names and calling them out as she herself uses her blog and the cnn blog to call out those she regards as bullies namely men named donald miller mark driscoll and most recently dave ramsey fortunately she confesses our tendency in bold font saying in short we like to gang up and fortunately she goes on confessing more in bold font saying after all when god became flesh and lived among us the religious accused him of hanging out with sinners even gluttons never realizing that this was the whole point that there were only sinners to hang out with unfortunately she doesn t realize the biblical literal problems with gluttony to make her point she quotes passages like philippians 3 19 their god is their belly psalm 78 18 they tested god in their heart by demanding the food they craved proverbs 23 20 be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat proverbs 23 2 put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite or better yet ezekiel 16 49 now this was the sin of your sister sodom she and her daughters were arrogant overfed and unconcerned they did not help the poor and needy unfortunately these are not always so easily literally to be taken as focused like a precise laser beam on gluttony i mean look at this little bit by one writer on the problems of connecting some of the words in some of these texts with gluttony and i quote from hastings dictionary of the new testament gluttonous gluttonous in matthew 11 19 luke 7 34 we are informed that our lord was reproached as a gluttonous man and a wine bibber the greek is alike in both passages ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης the english versions are probably right in their rendering of φάγος and οἱνοπότης as implying intemperate excess but this hardly lies in the words themselves φάγος liddell and scott s v is found only in these passages and in later ecclesiastical writers οἰνοπότης does by usage not by etymology imply excess anacreon 98 call ep 37 polyb xx 8 2 in proverbs 23 20 it answers to סבא יַיִן one who is drunken with wine cf deuteronomy 21 20 ezekiel 23 42 hosea 4 18 for use of the heb root and it is parallel with μέθυσος in proverbs 23 21 in proverbs 31 4 24 72 swete the verb οἱνοποτέω occurs in the bad sense but it is possible that the real force of the insult to our lord is shown by deuteronomy 21 20 the rebellious son is to be brought by his parents to the elders to whom the parents are to say this our son is stubborn and rebellious he will not obey our voice he is a riotous liver and a drunkard he is then to be executed by stoning it is true that the lxx septuagint here συμβολοκοπῶν οἰνοφλυγεῖ has no resemblance to the phrase in the gospels but proverbs 23 20 has μηδὲ ἐκτείνου συμβολαῖς as one half of the doublet among gluttonous eaters of flesh בִּוֹלְלֵי בָשָׂר and in proverbs 23 21 aq note aquila sym theod note theodotion agree in using the deuteronomic word συμβολοκόπος for ולל delitzsch in his heb nt uses the words found in deuteronomy 21 20 we need not wonder at the non agreement with the lxx septuagint for the discourse has several indications of having been spoken in aramaic such as the paronomasia probably to be found in the cry of the children matthew 11 17 luke 7 32 danced and wept cf farrar life of christ i 92 and the peshitta and the variation ἔργων τἐκνων matthew 11 19 luke 7 35 which is best explained by supposing some error in reading an aramaic document george farmer copyright statement

2001 2013 studylight org powered by light speed technology don t we gangs of sinners and of gluttons need also really to include all of the greek here i m playing a bit i m playing to make a bit of a point i m trying to say that we all tend to equate different things and the same things even if we include lxx sirach aka ecclesiasticus 23 6 31 20 37 30 31 and lxx maccabees 3 maccabees 6 36 4 maccabees 1 3 1 27 2 7 and nt titus 1 12 quoting the so called epimenides paradox then we are reading literal things as metaphorical literal is metaphorical that last sentence you get as a joke a literal ha ha that s a funny saying joke glutton in english is the glue for lots of biblical greek notions of gluttony these greek notions translate hebrew ones and in the nt cases perhaps aramaic notions of gluttony we are gluing these notions together as the same not different then rachel held evans takes us a step further to say that nobody much condemns gluttony not like they do homosexuality and yet she says they re not literally to the biblical literalist much different same with bullying all sins all things that all sinners do jesus tended to hang out with them with all since all equaled sinners were sinners all the same and jesus was called a glutton if we literally get the greek my point is that rachel held evans s point is that we must muddy these waters what s gluttonous who s the biggest sinner how are we to throw the first stone why not be more like jesus this way when will we stop the bullying 1 comment posted in uncategorized christian privilege posted on december 21 2013 1 comment my friend in real life and blogger friend rod aka hoodie_r has been writing a lot more about white privilege he s spoken out regularly and recently even this week about the history of white supremacy as a worldwide system the activism the confrontation of and dismantling of privilege that is systemic can be tricky he notes in spite of our activism we benefit from global economic structures of oppression he quotes womanist and relational theologian karen baker fletcher as saying and there are layers of benefits from the system and structures because one finds oneself participating in it and in them privilege is relative whiteness benefits those who claim it and those who can ride its coat tails and so hoodie_r finds himself with his own male privilege that he confesses quoting this woman at length she finds herself saying with profound humility in her essay a womanist journey these things sexism racism classism heterosexism ableism and ecological destruction are interrelated systems of oppression in womanist understanding the masses of black women in the united states work in the lowest paying jobs and struggle to feed their children they have not benefited from higher education with its economic opportunities middle class womanists in academia like myself experience less economic oppression than many poor black women in the united states and abroad my emphasis i do hope you ve stayed with me so far maybe my title has piqued your interest as i talk at first about hoodie_r s writings about white privilege i m writing this post because i m up at night i m up anyways and reading rachel held evans s latest blog guest post by marlena graves who self identifies in public as a spanish speaking hispanic woman ms graves is up at night kept up and it s another self identity that keeps her up this is tricky i must write like white privilege it s christian privilege now let me quickly self identify you dear reader must know where i m coming from and do know where you re reading from i m a cis hetero sexual white male able bodied homosapien i find myself most waking moments of most days a theist with trinitarian leanings because i appreciate a kind kind of god if i have to have one since i have to and a transcendent one may just be the immanent one who is the kindest sort of homosapien i could have just used the loaded term incarnation but i like greek based english more than latin based english even though i hate the word christian i do appreciate the bible very much and yet i confess that others have influenced that very very much which my blogger friend suzanne has called very feminist identities fascinate me especially when they re self identities so what are yours i hate them when they re systemically imposed have any of those well let s get to christian privilege i think it s what ms graves is struggling with before we get right into what she says keeps her up at night let me just remind that ms graves is one who finds white male christian pastors like mark driscoll useful individuals to consult as she gives her own christianity today advice to christian women about female masturbation i am not just trying to shock you dear reader with sex i know it s a sensationalist sort of thing to do to bring attention to that and yet do see here how layered and woven together these systems of ideas might just be sex is powerful whiteness is powerful christianity is powerful and ms graves struggles as she explains to christian readers of rachel held evans s blog why she fasted for families there are nights when i lie awake wondering about what sort of christian i really am i mean there s the christian i think i am and then the kind i actually am when push comes to shove would i have supported andrew jackson s indian removal policy and the subsequent ethnic cleansing that occurred as we made our way from sea to shining sea would i have been an abolitionist actively and publicly standing
