Zen Ghosts by Jon J. Muth5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was interested to note that while the kids seemed to love the book (and no one had any problem accepting a story that involved a giant talking panda!), quite a few of them were upset by the idea of the koan-a question designed to have no concrete answer. I always try to run the children's titles we review past age-appropriate readers, so I read Zen Ghosts to a group of first graders. In Zen Ghosts, Stillwater rounds out an evening of Halloween trick-or-treating by telling the children a ghost story based on a Zen koan (one of the questions Zen practitioners contemplate in their search for enlightenment) called Senjo and Her Soul are Separated. All three books feature a Zen Buddhist panda named Stillwater and his trio of young human friends: siblings Karl, Michael, and Addy. Zen Ghosts follows 2005's Caldecott Honor Book Zen Shorts and 2007's Zen Ties. ![]() It's short on words, but overflows with thought-provoking storytelling and gorgeous, glowing art. Muth's Zen Ghosts is an example of kid-friendly surrealism done absolutely right. Unlike the book we featured yesterday, Jon J. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, he had done something I thought was incredibly vile, and I let him know how terrible it was. I want him to be better than his dad was, even as a boy, and so I lean on him and expect a great deal. Believing Christįirst is a story about my son, Michael, who did something wrong when he was six or seven years old. ![]() I would like to share with you incidents from my own life that illustrate how the Atonement works in a practical, everyday setting. This morning I would like to talk to you about the Atonement of Christ, that glorious plan by which this dichotomy can be resolved. If that were all there were to the equation, the conclusion would be inescapable that we, as sinful beings, cannot be tolerated in the presence of God.īut that is not all there is to the equation. The other side of the dichotomy is very simply put: I sin, and so do you. He can’t tolerate sin in the least degree. The first we can read in Doctrine and Covenants 1:31: “For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.” That means he can’t stand it, he can’t tolerate it, he can’t blink, or look the other way, or sweep it under the rug. The greatest dichotomy, the greatest problem in the entire universe, consists of two facts. ![]() ![]() The originator of Esogetic Colorpuncture is Peter Mandel, a German naturopath, acupuncturist and well-known figure in European natural medicine. The primary method of treatment involves the application of colored light frequencies to acu-points on the skin - hence the name “Colorpuncture.” As this system has developed further, treatments using special crystal devices, biofeedback or induction tools, sound therapies and wellness products, all based on the Esogetic healing principles, have been added. It combines knowledge derived from Chinese medicine and other energetic healing systems, modern photon Biophysics and new biology, with insights from ancient esoteric healing philosophies, in order to create a new and unique system of informative/ energetic healing. ![]() Esogetic Colorpuncture is a state-of-the-art mind and body healing technology. ![]() None Like Him by Jen Wilkin5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different from Us (and Why That's a Good Thing)' 'In His Image: 10 Ways God Calls Us to Reflect His Character' ❖ Don't forget to check out 'Songs of Suffering: 25 Hymns and Devotions for Weary Souls'. ❖ This podcast is also releasing as a video podcast on YouTube here. ❖ Subscribe to the podcast and submit your questions for Jen Wilkin here to be entered to win 1 of 20 signed copies of Jen's book 'Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds'.

I had no idea then that thirty-some years later, I would recreate that trip in a book called Walk Two Moons. We must have been a very noisy bunch, and I'm not sure how our parents put up with being cooped up with us in the car for those trips. In the summer, we usually took a trip, all of us piled in a car and heading out to Wisconsin or Michigan or, once, to Idaho. ![]() (In that book, the brothers even have the same names as my own brothers.)
