They throw a great party for you

on the one day they know you can’t come.”

George H.W. Bush 1991 University of Michigan Commencement Speech on “Political Correctness”

“Ironically, on the 200th anniversary of our Bill of Rights, we find free speech under assault throughout the United States, including on some college campuses. The notion of political correctness has ignited controversy across the land. And although the movement arises from the laudable desire to sweep away the debris of racism and sexism and hatred, it replaces old prejudice with new ones. It declares certain topics off-limits, certain expression off-limits, even certain gestures off-limits.”

“Abide with Me”

 

 

Henry Francis Lyte  1847

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Morning Dog Walk

Walking the Dog
Billy Collins

Two universes mosey down the street
Connected by love and a leash and nothing else.
Mostly I look at lamplight through the leaves
While he mooches along with tail up and snout down,
Getting a secret knowledge through the nose
Almost entirely hidden from my sight.

We stand while he’s enraptured by a bush
Till I can’t stand our standing any longer
And haul on the leash to bring him away.
He lives in the moment, which is good for him,
But when I see a stone wall, I think of Greece,
The sort of place he’d have a lot to say about—
The sniffable pots and broken statues,
The seas, the Ionic evenings all in a row.
But he just gives a yelp and comes running over
To smell my palm, and what can I do but
Smile and bend down to give him a hello?

Psalm 84

“Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself,

where she may lay her young, even thine altars,

O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.”

–  King James 84:3

 

“Library Lawn and Chapel; Pembroke College” | James Hart Dyke b. 1966

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.

For the Beauty of the Earth

 

This hymn is a celebration of God’s creation and the beauty of nature, and it has become a popular choice for services that focus on gratitude and thanksgiving.

Hymn written by Folliott S. Pierpoint, an English poet and hymnist; published in 1864 and sung to the tune “Dix”, which was composed by Conrad Kocher in 1838.

For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies,

Refrain: Lord of all, to thee we raise This our joyful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon, and stars of light,

(Refrain)

For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth and friends above, For all gentle thoughts and mild,

(Refrain)

For thy church that evermore Lifteth holy hands above, Offering up on every shore Her pure sacrifice of love,

(Refrain)

For thyself, best Gift Divine, To the world so freely given, For that great, great love of thine, Peace on earth, and joy in heaven.  (Refrain)

Abstract: This paper delineates the spatial characteristic of key-Christian church in Taipei metropolitan area from 1930s till 2010s. It compares and analyzes the transformation of spatial configuration corresponding to different sects and time periods. The dataset contains the spatial networks of 13 Christian churches including single and cluster building types of Presbyterian church, Chinese Baptist Convention and Taiwan Lutheran church. Applying measures in social network analysis, it attempts to understand the differences and similarities of spatial networks, especially on the churches of the same sect or same era, and to compare them with the prototype case. In other words, this paper illustrates the transformation of spatial organization of Christian churches in Taipei Taiwan during the past 80 years.
