Thinking Anthropologically: Where Do People Come From?
— Johannes Merz
A quick glance at people’s images and dress already tells us a lot, or so we think. But are there other more subtle things more important than appearance?

Missiological Reflection: "The Creation Gift of Time"
— Eugene Peterson
The understanding and honoring of time is fundamental to the realization of who we are and how we live. Violations of sacred time become desecrations of our most intimate relations with God and one another. Hours and days, weeks and months and years, are the very stuff of holiness.
Among the many desecrations visited upon the creation, the profanation of time ranks near the top, at least among North Americans. Time is the medium in which we do all our living. When time is desecrated, life is desecrated. The most conspicuous evidences of this desecration are hurry and procrastination: Hurry turns away from the gift of time in a compulsive grasping for abstractions that it can possess and control. Procrastination is distracted from the gift of time in a lazy inattentiveness to the life of obedience and adoration by which we enter the “fullness of time.” Whether by a hurried grasping or by a procrastinating inattention, time is violated.
Genesis 1 is not in a hurry. And Genesis 1 does not procrastinate.
