Global Civilizations

The intent of this blog was to show my progress studying the content of the Global Civilizations curriculum I helped produce in 1992. I expected to update it with current examples from my life as time went on.

We have been gardening together since the fall of 2001. John sifts the soil and Lee grows the greens. We prefer greens and roots in the winter and harder stemmed veggies in the summer such as peppers and cucumbers. John looks after his worms and tumbles compost. Lee tracks the seeds and the work schedule here in the northwest Mojave Desert.

America's Next Top Pundit - WSJ.com

America's Next Top Pundit - WSJ.com

My concern about all these pundits is the danger they create in the name of their own recognition. In thier commitment to be provocotive [sp], they tear down diplomacy and tact needed for bridgebuilding. Why is bridgebuilding important? As long as we see others as our enemy and not our brother, we will feel justified in hating them (and killing them).

Is our brother practicing hypocracy? Then let us bring it to his attention gently and with tact. Is he endangering other people? More drastic measures may be needed, but not at the cost of those who are already across the bridge building relationships for correction. [This correction can work both ways. Are these pundits open to that?]

They are too much a lone ranger without a community of support. All the worst things of being a missionary without a redemptive means to their message.
