After spending a day in Starbucks on the internet, creating this blog and talking about sharing my thoughts and feelings, my Daily Meditations by Richard Rohr included this thought, "We really need to be saved from the tyranny of our own judgments, opinions and feelings about everything...."
When we think of liberation are we talking about simply doing what we want to do, free from the demands of the other? From what do we seek liberation? Christianity speaks to dieing to ourselves and we are our own worst tyrants.
So a blog seems to be a counterintuitive response to this conundrum. Oh well I'm sure you all will help me out. You always have.
About Me
- Steve Justus
- After 22 years as an emergency physician in hospitals in the Charlotte, NC area of the US, I completed training in the diploma course in tropical medicine and hygiene at LSHTM to prepare me for work in the developing world. My first stop is Tanzania with the touchfoundation.org beginning in August 2008. I hope to participate in healthcare worker training.
