Hitchens thomas jefferson5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() He perceives Jefferson as a forthright idealist who embraced European sophistication as much as he despised its terminal outcome of aristocracy. ![]() ![]() ![]() To sculpt Jefferson’s biography, Hitchens draws on the official documents, but works in equal measures with the previous biographical texts, the opinions of Jefferson’s supporters and detractors, and of course the author's own famous point of view. He was perhaps the perfect subject for journalist Hitchens, who could tee-up any argument and make one pay for a mistake in the debate. He was the most desired person at a party and among the least desirable as an enemy. President, he embodied the dichotomy of the new American: a man who held fast to his ideals and liberty and who rose to the heights of erudition while sinking to the depths of politics. Known as the author of The Declaration of Independence and to some degree as the first great expansionist U.S. "He was generally thought to be the better writer and the finer advocate: one might wish to have seen a Franklin version -which might at leave have contained one joke-but it was not to be."Īlthough the iconic Thomas Jefferson has been unveiled by many historians, he was never an enigma. ![]()

St teresa of avila interior castle5/22/2023 ![]() For this reason I will spend a short time describing it. “There is another way in which God awakens the soul, and which, although in some respects it seems a greater favour than others, may also be more perilous. In this passage, Teresa speaks about ways to determine if these locutions are authentic or not. I don’t always know how I myself interpret these things. ![]() Teresa describes here during my practice of Centering Prayer. Personally, I have had similar experiences to what St. Regardless, the experience of a leading or deeper/more authoritative voice in one’s conscious experience is a common part of the spiritual journey for those from theistic faiths. This can be interpreted as coming from the depths of the individual, from the Divine, or in a host of other ways. The language surrounding this type of experience is often nuanced, and many Quakers, for instance, are hesitant to speak of a “voice from God,” but may talk about a deeper voice or leading. This type of spiritual experience seems to me to be similar to Quaker Inner Listening. Monastics from the Catholic tradition interpret their spiritual experience theistically, thus “messages from God” are seen to be at least in the realm of possibility. ![]() The term “locution” is typically used to describe supposed “messages from God” experienced through prayer. ![]()

Sheet music kevin leman read online5/22/2023 ![]() When I first met with Jim, I gave him a simple assignment. It worked that one time! Why isn’t it working now? I must not be doing it soft enough (or fast enough, or some other variation). ![]() Jim would just get frustrated, thinking (but never verbalizing), I know I’m doing this right. He became so predictable that what once made her hotter than an August day now turned her into a glacier. Karen never understood why it took one hundred times of silence to overcome one moan, but that’s the way it was with Jim. While Karen really did enjoy that new touch, she learned to be conservative with her moans because once Jim heard one, he was certain to do the exact same thing for the next fifty to one hundred times they made love. He tried something new-the way he held Karen, cradled her, or tenderly touched a delicate spot-and he tuned in to her moans, thinking, Okay, this is the key this will unlock her sexual fury. Jim was always looking for (and worse, thinking he had found) the magic bullet. Hit and miss might be a pretty good description of their sex life after the honeymoon they never really got a handle on things until almost fifteen years into their marriage. ![]() Like many young couples, they had fairly unrealistic views of what sex would be like. Jim and Karen were both virgins when they got married twenty-one years ago. ![]()
