Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

We getting the habit of compartmentalizing our lives, thinking that we have to be one way at church, one way at home, and yet another way at work. Where I come from, we call that hypocrisy.

The apostle Paul wrote, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I Jane learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether loving in plenty or in want" (Philippines 4:21-12 NIV). I love the last part: "whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." By the way, Paul wrote that while he was sorting in prison! Even in prison, Paul's contentment wasn't based on his circumstances.

@rainer@bookwyrm.social thanks for the response. I'll add this one to my queue. I read A Theology of Liberation by Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez a few years ago and it, like most of the theology books I have read, was just over my head.

People don't understand contentment today. In our materialistic, stuff-driven society, were bigger is better and faster is master, it can seem impossible to actually find contentment—to slow down and say, "I'm content with the car I have, the house I own, and the job I love."

Christmas is short for "Christ's Mass," referring to the worship service that marks the birth of Christ. Celebrations during this [twelve day] season includes the Feast of the Holy Innocents (December 28), when we remember that the joy of Christ's coming was marked by genocide as Herod fearfully massacred other children in Bethlehem.

The only thing that could have made this better is if they put the Deuterocanonical Books in Septuagint order within the Old Testament like a proper Catholic Bible rather than putting them in their own spot, as if apocryphal, like a Protestant Bible.

Alienation: of students from parents, of blacks from whites, of Arab from Jew . . . all around us and throughout the world we see the need to reach out in love toward our fellow humans . . . to love people as they are.
In a little Jewish town years ago, God did just this. He reached out in love to every human through his Son, Jesus Christ.
