Earlier I had a friend that was a Mormon. We had things in common, and a friendship was natural, but it came to a point when it seemed to be a spiritual battle and we drifted apart. She initiated to do Bible studies together, but I felt that to be an attempt to recruit me more than an honest...

I have noticed that certain types of people are drawn to certain musical instruments. That is why I swore not to get involved with a violinist. And my obvious instrument is the bassoon. Whimsical. Deep. Never taken seriously. But has a hidden beauty most people, and certainly not the instrument...

There is nothing so irritating as themes you recognize but can't really place and remember the title of. I had that experience a couple of days ago, when I heard something very familiar on the radio. Was it Brahms? Or Mahler? I couldn't place it. It was like in between. And then the announcer...

To be ghosted is a part of the magical world of the World Wide Web, and sometimes it is expected, sometimes it is for the best, but sometimes it hurts and you are left with all the questions that will never be answered. I have sometimes thought "oh well", and shaken the dust off my sandals. But...

One of the threads here made me think about what my relationship to God looks like. The question made me smile and even giggle a bit, because I have an almost child-like relationship to Him. I can see myself in His lap when things are chaotic around me, but when I am there, I feel safe and at...

I have a positive view on most people. We are all created in the image of God after all. And I see the good and also beauty in everyone. And everyone has a potential. But does this approach make me gullible? Possibly. I have failed more than once (albeit just marrying once, and indeed he had a...

It all started with an apple. The thirst of knowledge. The curiosity that didn't kill the cat, but the innocence of mankind. 'for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. ' Genesis 3:5...

I love listening to podcasts. They give me insight in the World we live in, they challenge me, they deepen my understanding and I have noticed it also builds a stronger foundation for my faith. We here in Norway have a theology podcast I love. It takes one Christian author from each century...

Life can be chaotic. And it certainly has. It seems that one crisis follows the other. In an endless chain of draining battles. Me against the World. The World against me. Me against me. Total chaos. Incomprehensible hardship. Unexpected blows in my face. It is not a new thing. It seems like I...

This weekend is the great weekend for all that are interested in not so great music, weird costumes and mediocre voices. We are talking about European Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. Police forces are hired in from Denmark and Norway to control the crowds, not because of their fanatic love for...

It would have been nice with a European forum thread here.

What determines our identity? Our core being? If I ask my mother who I am and what my identity is, the answer might be creative and knowledgeable. My doctor would say hard working. My students would perhaps say, I hope they do, engaging and knowledgeable. I have even heard from a student that I...

My head has loads of compartments where hours of music are stored. And sometimes they pop up and start playing like to remind me of something special. This quote is from Isaiah, but in my head, it is Handel's Messiah that is playing in the background this day. Talking like this, it sounds...

Baby, is cold outside... The song keeps popping up in my head. It's the season for it, after all. If I were a Buddhist, New-Ager og Antroposphical person, I would probably believe I was a bear in a past life, as I would love to hibernate until March. Or, as a like minded to those mentioned...

Lord, how I Wish I was there When you Poured out Your Holy Spirit Your spirit Came down With tongues Tongues of fire. Amazing! Amazing how You equipped Your chosen ones To speak To prophecy To heal How people From different Nations All heard Their language Spoken Lord! Let the Holy...

Why are there so many single Christians and why are a single Christian so difficult to find? So many say they are lovely. So many even say they are miserable. Why can't God call the lonely people together and make us more whole and in line with what was intended at the creation. Can being...

Sometimes God lets you taste The sweet taste Of what could Have been Once again I got a sense Of being loved Seen Appreciated And then All is taken away Snatched from me And I find myself Once more At point zero. Only hope Is to cling To God's hand I whisper: Thank you, God For being in...

Sometimes moving Is hard. Follow me! He said. Follow where? Forward. In the truth In trust. Sometimes forward Is backward. Be still! He said. Just wait? Wait For God To make The move Sometimes moving on Is backward. Backward to Old habits Sin False security. God Teach me To move in...

Where? Where do I find The peace you once Promised? The peace That surpasses Our understanding And is not Of this World. Where do I find This peace? The peace That heals My messy Thoughts My broken Heart My insecure Future I don't Need to search Anymore. The peace is Already given All I...
