Meditation on the Law

I preparing for a retreat on the Law (and the Ten Commandments in particular). I am looking at law through a variety of lenses. While many of these overlap, there are nuances worth exploring that makes it helpful to create distinctions. Here are the lenses I am thinking of right now. If anyone has other lenses that might helpful to consider, I’d love to hear them:

  • Law Expression of Love
  • Law as Creative Power (Creation of Adam/creation song)
  • Law as Restorative Power (redemption song)
  • Law as Covenantal Gift
  • Law as Glory of the Lord (intimate)
  • Law as Charge to Enter into Promised Land (Deuteronomy parallel with Hebrews)
  • Law as the Root of the Fear of God
  • Law as the Seed (Growing up into Psalms, Wisdom, Kingdom Rule)
  • Law written in Stone/Law written in Flesh
  • Law fulfilled in Jesus (entirety of Word enfleshed in Jesus)

Spaces to Explore or Another Great Reason for Leopard

I am slow. No wonder my middle school principal suggested that “college was probably not right for me.” It takes me a while to get it. So when I started exploring Leopard last fall, I didn’t the benefits of the “spaces.” I move through applications like the old pc guy that I am (apple-tab). But when I have ten applications running, accidentally clicking off the edge of window throws me from document window (where I’m writing a reflection on hope, love, peace, and all that stuff) to my flock window (where some guy is playing the star wars theme with hand farts).

Spaces gives bounadaries to these disparate worlds that may or may not should overlap. After watching a sales presentation yesterday where the speaker was jumping through spaces like an Olympic web surfer, I came up and started associating apps with spaces.

Now I’ve got plenty of space to roam with the wily Leopard.
