    It all started with an apple

    I agree that from a human point of view I love the way knowledge has made the world open to us women is good and we cant reverse that. But knowledge and wisdom are two different things, and without the wisdom you end up with envy and social instability.

    It all started with an apple

    Well. I tried to say that the thirst of knowledge (apple) is what drives humankind forward but also away from God. And it is irreversible and creates social instability. It would be great to go back in the time before the fall, but that won't happen. So we are kind of stuck in the drive for more...

    It all started with an apple

    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...

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    I think of a CS Lewis quote when I listen to podcasts. "We read to know we are not alone". But I apply it to listening instead

    Do you listen to podcasts?

    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...

    The Eye of the Storm

    Good question! I have moved away from digital friendships and keep more to my IRL friends. Trusting God more and people less. I am also learning (slowly) that work and career is not everything, and I need to prioritise being present in life. Perhaps being involved in local politics has made me...

    Europe, the thread for Europeans and everything European (including ESC)

    I have a Norwegian class with a group of students in Norland county. And the topic of the day was "small talk during lunch break". And as you know Norwegians don't do small talk. But they would discuss ESC on the Monday after the final. So that was what we practiced. Pretending to be interested...

    The Eye of the Storm

    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...

    Europe, the thread for Europeans and everything European (including ESC)

    You know we only watch it on the state channel like the obedient social Democrats we are. Sorry if I gave you the wrong link, although it said the live streaming would show up there as well ...
