Comment on American Idol by Dorsey Kudley

I loved the top 5 American idol group song last night. It was moving to see Aaron Kelly got rid of but I do believe the other singers were better singers so he needed to go!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. It’s great to know there are people both in Tulsa and throughout the world that want the very best for ORU.

To Mr. Green, thank you for all that you are doing. ORU changed my life in ways I’ve still yet to understand. There are countless students yet to come who need the same experience I had.

Kyle, haven’t met you but was so thrilled to see your encouragement because of the improvements at campus. I am encouraged as well. You may know, but OR was my dad. Anyway, the new trustee board added me and I just attended my first board meeting. It certainly looks like things there are turning around and I’m so grateful. Anyway, thank you for your blog. I hope lots of alums will read it and see your pictures. I think it will go a long way to convincing alums that although we’re not totally there, the new ORU has come a very long way. I’m so grateful to the Lord.

Seeing your photos and reading your perspective on things makes me feel so much closer to those students who are currently attending and what optimism for their university experience and their impact in the future. Having graduated in 1976, I have nothing but positive experiences for the time God granted me at ORU. Professors, administration and staff, along with student leaders and our Chaplain Bob, and many praying students I thank, also. Along with our daily noon communion service at the base of the Prayer Tower, our Sunday night worship in the cafeteria (No separate student chapel, yet) we had the beautiful prayer gardens and fountains to enjoy between classes. May God continue to change hearts and may so many more be filled and renewed in His Holy Spirit to impact our hurting world. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME IN TAKING AND POSTING THESE PHOTOS AND I SHARE YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE CORNER OUR SCHOOL HAS NOW TURNED UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION AND WITH THE DIRECTION AND GODLY LEADING OF DR. RUTLAND and THE NEW BOARD OF TRUSTEES.!!

Great photography work! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit! I came back to work at ORU in 2006 and enjoy being on campus every day. You’re right – a lot has happened. Stop in the next time you are here!

Kyle and Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to come back to the New ORU. Great things are happening on the campus as you have so graciously articulated. The best news is that the mission of “Raising up students to go…” is going to get stronger and stronger as we move forward.

Kyle,

It was great to see you fire up your blog again! I’ve always enjoyed your writing and observations, and it helps me to know my son better, especially when we’re half a continent apart.

I’ve come across many a blog post much similar to this one.
I’ve written one myself.

I think it really shows what this period in our Lives has done to us. There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t think about RMSP and/or the time I spent in Missoula with you guys.
It’s been one of the best summers I’ve had.

Miss you all!

Thanks Missy. A year ago I didn’t even think I belonged at RMSP, let alone feel like a professional. It’s amazing how quickly life changes and the opportunities we’re given. I miss the friendships and the environment of RMSP but am grateful to have had such a wonderful experience. Hopefully I’ll be able to go back and teach a course some day.

I’ve been reminiscing a bit myself Kyle. Can’t believe it’s been a year since I was gearing up to head to Montana. Although looking back at where I was, I definitely feel confident, directed, and know exactly what I want for my future.

I remember getting a chance to talk to you at our first BBQ. I knew you’d do well And time has proven me right. Did you ever think at that point that a little less than a year later, you’d have a full fledged photography business, a certain style, and a firm idea of where your love of photography would go?

Keep up the good work!

Kyle, I enjoy all your postings and am always anxious for more.

Missoule, MT! That is where Ruth was born April 3, 1968. She has been trying to find her birth parents for at least three years. I think she is about to give up. If I were closer, I would make a trip to the court house myself!

Hope school is going great for you. Your photos are super!

Kyle, I started reading this post with a 1:2 ratio, but then, because my eyes hurt and my legs were cramping, I switched to a 1:4 ratio. Actually, I didn’t understand 1:4 of the terminology in this post, but I can definitely tell you have a special chemistry with older men. How would backlight my mane?

Amazing, Kyle. Makes me feel like I’m there.

Comment on Predestination by Kyle

Kyle — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:28:58 +0000

It would be interesting to discuss it with you. My thoughts right now aren’t really on the issue of predestination, and maybe that was a poor title. I only use that as an example. My main thought was that we got to this earth somehow and the One who put us here is greater than we are. Creation came from somewhere and we certainly didn’t do it. That means we don’t get to call the shots, as I think we too often do individually and in modern church. Makes my head hurt just trying to imagine it all, but good discussion nonetheless.

I will be out of town this weekend for a rodeo, believe it or not. You might be able to catch me tomorrow night or Friday though. Que duermas bien.

Comment on Predestination by Pablo

Pablo — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:38:08 +0000

Kyle-blo, we will need some time to discuss this. Even though I agree with you that God is God and what we think about Him, whether it be Calvinistic, Arminian, or Open Theism, it doesn’t change His nature. However, I will vehemently disagree with you on many levels for many reasons. God is love. He’s not 80% love and 20% judgment. He is PERFECTLY revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. Christ on Calvary is the perfect image of God. I’m not saying he doesn’t have the power to do what he wants, because he does. However, everything he does is out of his character, which is love.

To love means to have trust, which requires freedom. If he’s already decided what will happen in the future, we really don’t have a choice. Look at all the examples in the Bible of God changing his mind – when he was talking w/ Abraham about Sodom and Gomorrah and how many righteous people required to spare the city, Moses pleading with God to not destroy the Israelites, etc… There are also many times of God expressing regret: Israel refusing to enter into a loving relationship with him; Jesus lamenting over Jerusalem. Why would he do these things (and record them in the Bible) if he wasn’t sincere about them?

I believe a God who knows all the “maybes” of our future decisions and can still bring about his purposes is a much more powerful, creative, trusting, and daring God than one who can’t deviate from a predestined storyline.

Anyway, I would love to discuss this with you because it has been at the center of much of my thought and study for the last 2 years.

Love you.
