Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once said, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.”Every parent hopes to leave an inheritance for their children, but doing so wisely takes careful thought and prayer. Today, Ron Blue joins us to discuss the Uniqueness Principle and how it can guide parents in passing down wealth effectively.Ron Blue is the Co-Founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of many books on biblical finance, including Splitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives.The Uniqueness Principle: Equal Love, Unique TreatmentProbably every parent of more than one child has asked, “How can children coming from the same two parents, with the same gene pool, living in the same environment, with the same stimuli…be so different?” Of course, we all know that estate planning can be challenging, and we understand the desire to be fair. However, the answer lies in what Ron Blue calls the Uniqueness Principle: Love your children equally, but treat them uniquely.If we think about how God treats us, He loves us all equally and treats us uniquely. In other words, God doesn't give everyone the same gifts, challenges, or circumstances—and maybe we shouldn't either when planning our estates.One child may have greater needs, and another may be wiser in handling money. Those realities need to be part of the decision-making process for transferring wealth. Each of my children is different financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Over the years, Ron and his wife, Judy, have allocated varying amounts to each of them, taking into account their individual needs and life circumstances. Good stewardship means recognizing these differences and allocating resources accordingly.Fairness vs. Favoritism: Learning from ScriptureMany parents worry about resentment among their children if they don't divide assets evenly. The best way to handle this is through clear communication. Open and honest conversations while you're alive can help your children understand your reasoning and prevent misunderstandings. Explaining your heart and thought process fosters unity and clarity.As parents, we need to work diligently to avoid favoritism. Rightfully so, as favoritism has caused much pain and divisiveness in families for thousands of years. Look at the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. The Bible says that his father, Jacob, "loved Joseph more than any of his other sons" (Genesis 37:3). Jacob later gave Joseph a richly ornamented coat of many colors. Although Jacob had unique treatment toward Joseph, Jacob violated the Uniqueness Principle. Jacob did not love his sons equally. Equal love often requires unique treatment. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to manage them wisely, ensuring that our decisions reflect both love and responsibility.The Three Questions That Changed EverythingThat said, we aren't saying that it is better to leave different amounts to children. Instead, following a systematic process is the key to wise decisions. When making wealth transfer plans, Ron encourages parents to ask themselves three key questions:It's helpful to ask yourself three questions:What is the worst (or best) thing that can happen if I transfer wealth to this child?How serious is it? How likely is it to occur? The purpose of these questions is not to arrive at a predetermined answer. You may end up distributing assets to your children equally or disproportionately, but that's not the objective of these questions. The goal is to guide you toward a well-thought-out decision.Ultimately, wealth transfer should reflect God's wisdom, not just human emotions. We are accountable to Him for how we allocate His resources. Factors such as financial need, spiritual maturity, and life circumstances should all be prayerfully considered.So, should you leave different amounts to your children? Maybe. Maybe not. The key is to seek God's wisdom, ask the right questions, and make decisions that honor Him and bless your family in the best way possible.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I restructure my finances since I was terminated from my position and am no longer working?I have $700,000 and want to invest in a variable annuity with a 20% buffer.

The Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.” These words are just as relevant today as they were in the 17th century, especially as we approach one of the largest wealth transfers in history.It's estimated that Baby Boomers will pass down as much as $68 trillion to their heirs by 2030. But is the next generation prepared to manage this wealth wisely? Research suggests that many are not. Let's explore what this historic transfer means, the potential challenges, and how families can prepare.Biblical Wisdom on Wealth and InheritanceAnne Bradstreet was undoubtedly inspired by Ecclesiastes 7:11-12, which says:“Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun. For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.”While passing down financial assets is important, passing down financial wisdom is even more crucial. However, research shows that many Boomers are not equipping their heirs with the knowledge needed to manage this wealth effectively.A recent study by investment giant Edward Jones found that:48% of Americans plan to leave an inheritance.50% will leave money and property to their children only.36% will pass down assets to both their children and grandchildren.While these numbers show a strong intention to pass down wealth, the study also revealed some concerning trends:Only 27% of Americans have discussed wealth transfer with their heirs.35% said they don't plan to have that conversation at all.That means millions of Millennials and Gen Z-ers may inherit significant wealth without the financial wisdom needed to steward it well. Experts warn that it is more important than ever for families to discuss wealth transfer and seek professional guidance when necessary.Four Common Approaches to Wealth TransferAlthough this is the largest generational wealth transfer in history, not all heirs will receive as much as they might expect. One major reason for this is increasing life expectancy—Boomers are living longer and consuming more of their assets, particularly due to rising healthcare costs.The Edward Jones study identified four main ways wealth is being transferred:1. Traditional GivingThis is the most common method, where parents pass their wealth—cash, stocks, real estate, and other assets—directly to their children. However, conversations are needed to ensure both generations understand the plan. Parents should also be mindful of using enough assets to maintain their own healthy and secure lifestyle in retirement.2. Giving While LivingRather than waiting until death, some Boomers are helping their children and grandchildren now by:Paying for educationAssisting with a home purchaseCovering major expenses like vacations or medical costsWhile this can be a blessing, it also raises concerns. Some heirs may wonder if there will be anything left for them later. Early conversations about financial plans can help alleviate these concerns and ensure realistic expectations.3. Generational SkippingSome Boomers are choosing to pass wealth directly to their grandchildren instead of their children. This may be done to:Pay for educationHelp start a businessSet up an investment accountA surprising one in four respondents in the Edward Jones study believes their grandchildren will be better stewards of wealth than their children. However, skipping a generation in inheritance can strain family relationships. Open communication is key to ensuring no one feels left out or overlooked.4. No Inheritance LeftSome Millennials and Gen Z-ers may find there is little or nothing left for them to inherit. Longer life spans and increasing costs may require Boomers to use up more of their assets in retirement.Financial experts generally recommend retirees withdraw no more than 4% per year from their retirement savings to preserve their assets. However, that may not always be possible, especially with rising medical expenses.How to Prepare for a Successful Wealth TransferOpen and proactive communication is the key to a smooth and responsible wealth transfer. Here are some steps families can take:1. Have the ConversationBoomers should sit down with their adult children and discuss their financial plans. This conversation should include:An overview of assets and how they will be distributedAny expectations about financial responsibilityA discussion of family values regarding stewardship and generosity2. Hold a Family ConferenceOne conversation may not be enough, as financial situations and family needs evolve over time. Regular discussions—perhaps with the help of a financial advisor—can help keep everyone on the same page.3. Seek Professional GuidanceFor families needing help navigating wealth transfer, a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®) can provide expert financial planning with a biblical perspective. A CKA® can help structure inheritance plans in a way that honors God and ensures responsible stewardship.4. Instill Biblical Financial WisdomMoney management isn't just about numbers—it's about values. Future heirs need to understand that:God owns everything, and we are stewards of His resources.Managing wealth wisely means providing for family needs.Generosity and giving back to God are part of faithful stewardship.The upcoming wealth transfer is unprecedented, but wealth can quickly be mismanaged or squandered without financial wisdom. The best legacy Boomers can leave is not just money but the knowledge and faith to steward it well.If you need help navigating these discussions, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®. You can find one at FaithFi.com by clicking “Find a Professional.”By combining wealth with wisdom, we can equip the next generation to handle God's resources faithfully and responsibly.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My friend's son is in a lot of trouble.

This episode looks at four poems whose subject would seem to lie beyond words: the death of a child. A defining feature of elegy is the struggle between poetic eloquence and inarticulate grief, and in these works by Ben Jonson, Anne Bradstreet, Geoffrey Hill and Elizabeth Bishop we find that tension at its most acute. Mark and Seamus consider the way each poem deals with the traditional demand of the elegy for consolation, and what happens when the form and language of love poetry subverts elegiac conventions.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

“We only live, only suspire/ Consumed by either fire or fire.”…are not lines from today's poem, but one gets the feeling Bradstreet understood their meaning as well as anyone could. Happy reading.Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley in 1612 in Northamptonshire, England. She married Simon Bradstreet, a graduate of Cambridge University, at the age of sixteen. Two years later, Bradstreet, along with her husband and parents, immigrated to the American colonies with the Winthrop Puritan group, and the family settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts. There, Bradstreet and her husband raised eight children, and she became one of the first poets to write English verse in the American colonies. It was during this time that Bradstreet penned many of the poems that would be taken to England by her brother-in-law, purportedly without her knowledge, and published in 1650 under the title The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up in America.The Tenth Muse was the only collection of Bradstreet's poetry to appear during her lifetime. In 1644, the family moved to Andover, Massachusetts, where Bradstreet lived until her death in 1672. In 1678, the first American edition of The Tenth Muse was published posthumously and expanded as Several Poems Compiled with Great Wit and Learning. Bradstreet's most highly regarded work, a sequence of religious poems titled Contemplations, was not published until the middle of the nineteenth century.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Louisa May Alcott's 1868 novel, credited with starting the new genre of young adult fiction. When Alcott (1832-88) wrote Little Women, she only did so as her publisher refused to publish her father's book otherwise and as she hoped it would make money. It made Alcott's fortune. This coming of age story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March, each overcoming their own moral flaws, has delighted generations of readers and was so popular from the start that Alcott wrote the second part in 1869 and further sequels and spin-offs in the coming years. Her work has inspired countless directors, composers and authors to make many reimagined versions ever since, with the sisters played by film actors such as Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson.

That fearful sound of “fire” and “fire,” Let no man know is my Desire. I, starting up, the light did spy, And to my God my heart did cry To straighten me in my Distress And not to leave me succourless. Then, coming out, behold a space The flame consume my dwelling place. And when I could no longer look, I blest His name that gave and took, That laid my goods now in the dust. Yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just. It was his own, it was not mine, Far be it that I should repine; He might of all justly bereft But yet sufficient for us left. When by the ruins oft I past My sorrowing eyes aside did cast And here and there the places spy Where oft I sate and long did lie. Here stood that trunk, and there that chest, There lay that store I counted best. My pleasant things in ashes lie And them behold no more shall I. Under thy roof no guest shall sit, Nor at thy Table eat a bit. No pleasant talk shall ‘ere be told Nor things recounted done of old. No Candle e'er shall shine in Thee, Nor bridegroom‘s voice e'er heard shall be. In silence ever shalt thou lie, Adieu, Adieu, all's vanity. Then straight I ‘gin my heart to chide, And did thy wealth on earth abide? Didst fix thy hope on mould'ring dust? The arm of flesh didst make thy trust? Raise up thy thoughts above the sky That dunghill mists away may fly. Thou hast a house on high erect Frameed by that mighty Architect, With glory richly furnished, Stands permanent though this be fled. It‘s purchased and paid for too By Him who hath enough to do. A price so vast as is unknown, Yet by His gift is made thine own; There‘s wealth enough, I need no more, Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store. The world no longer let me love, My hope and treasure lies above.

The Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.”As Baby Boomers age, it's estimated they'll leave a tidal wave of wealth to their heirs, perhaps as much as $68 trillion by 2030. But is the next generation ready for that wealth?The Biblical Perspective on Inheritance Anne Bradstreet's wisdom likely stemmed from Ecclesiastes 7:11-12, highlighting wisdom's value alongside an inheritance. This biblical perspective underscores the importance of preparing heirs with wealth and the wisdom to manage it.Current State of Wealth Transfer PreparednessResearch indicates that while Boomers are poised to make the greatest wealth transfer in history, they may need to prepare their heirs adequately. A study by Edward Jones revealed that while 48% of Americans plan to leave an inheritance, only 27% have discussed wealth transfer with their heirs, leaving many millennials and Gen Zers unprepared.The Impact of Longer Lifespans on Inheritance Longer lifespans mean Boomers might consume more of their assets due to rising healthcare costs, potentially reducing what's available for inheritance. This reality necessitates early and ongoing conversations about wealth transfer to set realistic expectations.Four Approaches to Wealth Transfer The Edward Jones study identified four ways Boomers might transfer wealth:Traditional Giving—Assets like cash, stocks, and real estate are passed directly to children. Parents must discuss these plans with their children to ensure mutual understanding and preparation.Giving While Living—Boomers may help the younger generation by funding education, purchasing homes, or even paying for vacations. Early conversations about these financial supports can help manage expectations and alleviate concerns about future inheritance.Generational Skip—Some Boomers might transfer wealth directly to grandchildren, aiding in education or business ventures. Clear communication is vital to avoid resentment from the skipped generation and ensure a smooth wealth transfer.No Inheritance—Due to longer lifespans and increased expenses, some may find little or nothing left to inherit. Retirees are generally advised to draw down no more than 4% annually from retirement assets to preserve principal, but this might not always be feasible.The Solution: Communication and Wisdom Transfer Boomers must start discussing their plans with their adult children to ensure a smooth wealth transfer. Passing on financial wisdom is crucial, preparing heirs to be faithful stewards. Family conferences, possibly facilitated by a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, can be an effective way to start these conversations and ensure ongoing communication as circumstances change.Preparing the next generation to manage inherited wealth involves more than just transferring assets; it requires imparting the wisdom to steward those resources responsibly. By fostering open communication and providing financial education, Boomers can help their heirs honor God and manage their inheritance wisely. Teaching them that everything belongs to God and instilling values of stewardship, provision, and generosity is the greatest inheritance they can leave.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about setting up a will since I have never made one. What do I need to do to set it up?I recently became widowed and retired, with a total net worth of around $500,000, including the value of my home that I plan to sell. With an annual income of $31,000 from Social Security, I wanted advice on how much of my $500,000 I should reasonably invest in a new home, considering I also want to become a foster parent and live in the house myself.I am asking about applying for Social Security benefits since I was informed that my job was being phased out at age 64. However, I had already earned more than the allowed amount for the year. I wanted to know if I started receiving Social Security later in the year, after August, if I would still get a check or if there is some sort of "clawback" since I exceeded the earnings limit earlier in the year.I have a question about updating my will, which I created 20 years ago in North Carolina. Is it still valid, or do I need to change it since I now live in Florida?Resources Mentioned:The Great Wealth Transfer Starts with the Great Wealth Talk (Edward Jones Research Study)Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this episode, we share the audio from a breakout session at STS Rhode Island. One of New England's early settlers, Anne Bradstreet left behind her comfortable life in England for the wilderness of Massachusetts. Though she would become America's first published poet, her most important roles were as devoted wife, nurturing mother, and committed saint. Through infertility, loss, fear, and pain, Bradstreet demonstrated faith and faithfulness. Nearly 400 years later, let Bradstreet's life and poetry instruct you, her Christian sisters, how to live and minister in small-town New England. Heather Peets is a pastor's wife, mom of five, and teacher. She and her family live in Vermont where her husband pastors a small but committed congregation. For nearly fifteen years, Heather has served in educational ministry as a teacher in Christian colleges and schools. Currently, she teaches English at Mid Vermont Christian School where she enjoys sharing life lessons and theological truths through literature.

Anne Bradstreet was the first woman to be recognized as an accomplished New World Poet. Her volume of poetry The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America ... received considerable favorable attention when it was first published in London in 1650. Eight years after it appeared it was listed by William London in his Catalogue of the Most Vendible Books in England, and George III is reported to have had the volume in his library. Bradstreet's work has endured, and she is still considered to be one of the most important early American poets.Although Anne Dudley Bradstreet did not attend school, she received an excellent education from her father, who was widely read— Cotton Mather described Thomas Dudley as a "devourer of books"—and from her extensive reading in the well-stocked library of the estate of the Earl of Lincoln, where she lived while her father was steward from 1619 to 1630. There the young Anne Dudley read Virgil, Plutarch, Livy, Pliny, Suetonius, Homer, Hesiod, Ovid, Seneca, and Thucydides as well as Spenser, Sidney, Milton, Raleigh, Hobbes, Joshua Sylvester's 1605 translation of Guillaume du Bartas's Divine Weeks and Workes, and the Geneva version of the Bible. In general, she benefited from the Elizabethan tradition that valued female education. In about 1628—the date is not certain—Anne Dudley married Simon Bradstreet, who assisted her father with the management of the Earl's estate in Sempringham. She remained married to him until her death on September 16, 1672. Bradstreet immigrated to the new world with her husband and parents in 1630; in 1633 the first of her children, Samuel, was born, and her seven other children were born between 1635 and 1652: Dorothy (1635), Sarah (1638), Simon (1640), Hannah (1642), Mercy (1645), Dudley (1648), and John (1652).Although Bradstreet was not happy to exchange the comforts of the aristocratic life of the Earl's manor house for the privations of the New England wilderness, she dutifully joined her father and husband and their families on the Puritan errand into the wilderness. After a difficult three-month crossing, their ship, the Arbella, docked at Salem, Massachusetts, on July 22, 1630. Distressed by the sickness, scarcity of food, and primitive living conditions of the New England outpost, Bradstreet admitted that her "heart rose" in protest against the "new world and new manners." Although she ostensibly reconciled herself to the Puritan mission—she wrote that she "submitted to it and joined the Church at Boston"—Bradstreet remained ambivalent about the issues of salvation and redemption for most of her life.-bio via Poetry FoundationFor further reading: a picture book about Bradstreet by one of her descendants Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

John J. Miller is joined by Elizabeth Baird Hardy of Mayland Community College to discuss the poetry of Anne Bradstreet.

Klasični filolog in pesnik dr. Brane Senegačnik ureja pri založbi Družina zbirko Sidera. V njej je doslej izšlo šest knjig, praviloma izborov poezije iz različnih literarnozgodovinskih obdobij. Kot šesta knjiga je tako izšla dvojezična antologija Metafizična poezija angleškega baroka. Antologijo je zasnovala in uredila dr. Nada Grošelj, ki je izbrane pesmi tudi prevedla. Bralka in bralec prevodne poezije imata tako priložnost, da (bolje) spoznata (med drugim) Johna Donna, Johna Wilmota, grofa rochestrskega, edino pesnico v antologiji Anne Bradstreet in druge ter da občudujeta njihovo jezikovno virtuoznost (in prevajalkino, nič manj). Več o metafizični poeziji pove dr. Nada Grošelj v pogovoru z Markom Goljo, v Izšlo je. Nikar ne zamudite.

by Anne Bradstreet (read by Laura Marks)

Pri nas sicer malo znani avtorji, ki so pred štirimi stoletji ustvarjali na britanskem otočju, so mojstrsko spajali suhi intelekt in razburkano čustvo, da bi navsezadnje ustvarili pesmi, ki nas živo nagovarjajo še danesAngleži so skozi stoletja v kanon svetovne poezije seveda prispevali celo kopico izvrstnih avtorjev – od Chaucerja in Shakespeara prek Byrona in Keatsa do Audna in Hughesa. Toda imena, ki jih srečamo v še sveži dvojezični antologiji Metafizična poezija angleškega baroka, ki jo je za založbo Družina pripravila Nada Grošelj, so veliki večini sodobnih bralk in bralcev na Slovenskem slej ko prej povsem neznana. Ste, na primer, že kdaj slišali za Johna Donna, Edwarda Herberta, Henryja Kinga, Thomasa Randolpha ali Anne Bradstreet? Bi vedeli kam v času jih umestiti, kakšno poezijo so pisali in zakaj jih Angleži sami umeščajo v svoj nacionalni pesniški panteon? Ne? – No, nič hudega, saj zato pa vendar beremo: da se nam, ko odpremo novo knjigo, odprejo nove pokrajine, novi svetovi! Da bo to branje teklo še bolj gladko, pa je tukaj še tokratno Sobotno branje, v katerem smo v pogovoru z Nado Grošelj preverjali, kakšne so pravzaprav tematske in slogovne posebnosti te poezije. foto: Goran Dekleva

The post Verses upon the Burning of Our House by Anne Bradstreet appeared first on A Mouthful of Air.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.”~Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), French existentialist philosopher “To be always relevant, you have to say things which are eternal.”~Simone Weil (1909-1943), French philosopher, mystic and political activist “[T]here is, finally, no intelligible (much less persuasive) secular version of the conviction that every human being is sacred; the only intelligible versions are religious.”~Michael J. Perry, legal scholar at Emory School of Law, in The Idea of Human Rights (Oxford Press, 2000) “The creation of the world was a very great thing, but not so great as the incarnation of Christ. It was a great thing for God to make the creature, but not so great as for the Creator himself to become a creature. Many great things were accomplished between the fall of man and the incarnation of Christ: but God becoming man was greater than all.”~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) in A History of the Work of Redemption “Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.”~Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), American Puritan poet “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”~William Shakespeare (1564-1616), in As You Like It “Yeah. After the first 20 years of toiling, sure. Then it was overnight.”~James Brown, host of The NFL Today on CBS, after being told he was an “overnight success” “Behold, he who keeps Israelwill neither slumber nor sleep.The Lord is your keeper the Lord is your shade on your right hand.”~Psalm 121:4-5 (ESV)SERMON PASSAGEIsaiah 9:1-7 (ESV) Isaiah 9 1 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.2 The people who walked in darkness  have seen a great light;  those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,  on them has light shone.3 You have multiplied the nation;  you have increased its joy;  they rejoice before you  as with joy at the harvest,  as they are glad when they divide the spoil.4 For the yoke of his burden,  and the staff for his shoulder,  the rod of his oppressor,  you have broken as on the day of Midian.5 For every boot of the tramping warrior   in battle tumult  and every garment rolled in blood  will be burned as fuel for the fire.6 For to us a child is born,  to us a son is given;  and the government shall be upon his shoulder,  and his name shall be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.7 Of the increase of his government and of peace  there will be no end,  on the throne of David and over his kingdom,   to establish it and to uphold it  with justice and with righteousness  from this time forth and forevermore.  The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Isaiah 4027 Why do you say, O Jacob,  and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord,   and my right is disregarded by my God”?28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God,  the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He does not faint or grow weary;  his understanding is unsearchable.29 He gives power to the faint,  and to him who has no might he increases strength.30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,  and young men shall fall exhausted;31 but they who wait for the Lord  shall renew their strength;  they shall mount up with wings like eagles;  they shall run and not be weary;  they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 4110 fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God;  I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 5310 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;  he has put him to grief;  when his soul makes an offering for guilt,  he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;  the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.11 Out of the anguish of his soul  he shall see and be satisfied;  by his knowledge shall the righteous one,  my servant, make many to be accounted righteous,  and he shall bear their iniquities. Isaiah 6316 For you are our Father,  though Abraham does not know us,  and Israel does not acknowledge us;  you, O Lord, are our Father,  our Redeemer from of old is your name.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“…the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”~St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:25 “At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes—an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.”~Carl Sagan in The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark “I'm convinced that the best solutions are often the ones that are counterintuitive—that challenge conventional thinking—and end in breakthroughs.”~Nathaniel Wyeth, American inventor “Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain”~Henry Ford (1863-1947), founder of Ford Motor Company “It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People say ‘It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?”~Isaac Asimov (1920-1002) in I, Robot “Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat.”~Stuart Chase in Language in Thought and Action “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”~William Shakespeare (1564-1616) in As You Like It “Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.”~Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), New England poet SERMON PASSAGEIsaiah 9:1-7 (ESV)1 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil.4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672): H.L. Mencken once said that Puritanism is “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere might be happy.” But is this characterization of the Puritans as stern and joyless really true? Anne Bradstreet's life would indicate otherwise! As a member of the English Puritans who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s, Anne gained notoriety as America's first poet–an incredible accomplishment for a wife and mother of eight in the American wilderness! Yet she also gives us a window into Puritan colonial life–its joys, sorrows, trials and blessings–all undergirded by a radiant, confident faith in God and His Word. Truly, her poetry is a celebration of God's goodness in every area of life! The Puritans were anything but dull and dour, as Anne Bradstreet's life so beautifully demonstrates!

Heroism isn't about achievements; in my view it's about what you attempt to achieve and how you attempt it. And that makes seventeenth-century Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet a hero.

In this season of Thanksgiving, we remember those famous Pilgrims who dared to leave comfort, home, family and the safe structures of society to establish a new life in a new world. This month we celebrate and remember the courage, love and devotion, the strength and sacrifice that founded our country. In this poem, Anne Bradstreet recounts the terror and loss of her home to fire and her complex reaction to that loss, recalling the words of Job.

In this season of Thanksgiving, we remember those famous Pilgrims who dared to leave comfort, home, family and the safe structures of society to establish a new life in a new world. This month we celebrate and remember the courage, love and devotion, the strength and sacrifice that founded our country. In "To my Dear and Loving Husband" Anne Bradstreet expresses the sort of love for her husband that few experience, and that true lovers instantly recognize. We see in these words a reflection of our own capacity to give and receive the richest of God's blessings on humanity, the powerful and undying love of a spouse. In "Epitaph on a Patriot" we recognize a life of conviction, strength and commitment, values largely out of favor in today's marshmallow world. It is an epitaph I would gladly have spoken of me. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #poem #poetry #verse #literature #aestheticliterature #aesthetic #rhythmic #phonaesthetics #soundsymbolism #metre #prosaic #literarycomposition #poet #ambiguity #symbolism #irony #poeticdiction #muse #prosody #meter #metricalpatterns #rhymescheme #annebradstreet #bradstreet #grief #memories #loss #courage #love #devotion #strength #sacrifice #new world #epitaphonapatriot #conviction #strength #commitment #undyinglove #love #marriage #husband #wife #husbandandwife #tomydearandlovinghusband

In this season of Thanksgiving, we remember those famous Pilgrims who dared to leave comfort, home, family and the safe structures of society to establish a new life in a new world. This month we celebrate and remember the courage, love and devotion, the strength and sacrifice that founded our country. The Poetry of Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) serves as the voice of our founding. In "The Flesh and the Spirit" two sisters reason together "close by the banks of lacrim flood," that is, here in this veil of tears where our lives unfold, about the values that inform life. Flesh complains that Spirit's otherworldly concerns leave her bereft of the pleasures all about her on earth. Why give up the sure, real and immediate gratifications here given us for a future good based on faith alone? Spirit's answer is that all she seeks, including the provisional pleasures available here on earth, is met in pursuit of what is highest. The struggle here presented is both that between the World and the Christian, and that within the Christian herself. To triumph over our lower desires may require both discipline and denial, but it also finds the rewards, even here on earth, to be real and satisfying. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com #poem #poetry #verse #literature #aestheticliterature #aesthetic #rhythmic #phonaesthetics #soundsymbolism #metre #prosaic #literarycomposition #poet #ambiguity #symbolism #irony #poeticdiction #muse #prosody #meter #metricalpatterns #rhymescheme #annebradstreet #bradstreet #grief #memories #loss #courage #love #devotion #strength #sacrifice #new world #thefleshandthespirit #sisters #lacrimflood #veiloftears #spirit #flesh

This month we celebrate and remember the courage, love and devotion, the strength and sacrifice that founded our country. In this first poem, "As Weary Pilgrim Now at Rest," by Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) the poet recognizes the difficulty of life in the New World and the blessedness of hope not, as often supposed, in eternal rest, but in the delight of new life in Christ, filled to overflowing with joy in God's presence and service.

Just three years before Anne Bradstreet's death, this weary Puritan penned verses describing a longing for eternity and escape from the cares of this world.

"To our Dear and Loving Listeners..." - that's right! We're doing Anne Bradstreet, America's very first English-American poet! Need ideas for Valentine's Day poems? Anne's got you covered!

This week we read Anne Bradstreet's elegy for her grandchild Elizabeth and draw out the multiple voices (both faith and doubt, both grief and consolation) and the tensions and deep emotions in the work of this talented Puritan poet--the first woman from British North America to publish a book of poems. "In Memory of My Dear Grandchild Elizabeth Bradstreet, Who Deceased August, 1665 Being a Year and a Half Old" Farewell dear babe, my heart's too much content, Farewell sweet babe, the pleasure of mine eye, Farewell fair flower that for a space was lent, Then ta'en away unto eternity. Blest babe why should I once bewail thy fate, Or sigh the days so soon were terminate; Sith thou art settled in an everlasting state. By nature trees do rot when they are grown. And plums and apples thoroughly ripe do fall, And corn and grass are in their season mown, And time brings down what is both strong and tall. But plants new set to be eradicate, And buds new blown, to have so short a date, Is by His hand alone that guides nature and fate.

To this point in the course we have studied a great number of texts written by men for other men. This episode--which is a little longer than usual--concentrates on unlocking the complicated lives of two women whose experiences illustrate both their own personal desires and the world around them. Anne Bradstreet was a clever, intelligent woman who was a member of a culture that forty years later came to fear the power women might hold; her desires, doubts, and arguments could not be plainly presented, so they are nestled inside of other tropes. On the other hand, Mary Rowlandson's account stands the test of time and is still read in Bible studies today, for it shows the solid foundation that unshakable faith can provide to a person in dire times. It also shows the basic humanity of Native Americans, though Rowlandson sometimes misses this herself. Image: Garrett, Edmund.

Here's a story about America's first published poet.

Tom was born in the seaside town of Ipswich, Massachusetts, once home to the authors John Updike (who was a patient of his Dad, which enabled Tom to build a nice collection of signed first edition novels), Adele Robertson, John Norton, and the poet Anne Bradstreet. Perhaps it was the history of the town, but from an early age Tom developed a love of writing and left Ipswich to earn his degree in English Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There he focused on creative writing and was selected by the English Department to participate in an international study program at the University of Oxford. After college Tom lived in New York City and Boston and published non-fiction in such publications as THE NEW YORK TIMES and the HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW. He embarked on a career in technology culminating in his starting, building, and selling a technology strategy consulting firm In addition to writing fiction, Tom is the board director of, and an advisor to, technology companies in the cyber security, media, data analytics, cloud computing, mobile, social intelligence, and information technology businesses. He now lives in Boston.

Many times in life a seemingly negative event can turn out to be just what the doctor ordered. In episode number 29 of the My Quest For Quotes podcast we look at a few of those examples. This week's quotes comes from 17th Century poet Anne Bradstreet, "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." Thanks for listening this week, and please come back again.

This is day 442 of our trek, and it is Thursday and time for our 2-3 minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today's trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let's jump right in with today's nugget. Today's quote is from Anne Bradstreet who said, “Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge — fitter to bruise than polish.” This quote highlights the unfortunate truth that we see in many leaders today. They may be political leaders, company leaders, and yes, sadly even church and other religious leaders. A person who has authority without wisdom may be dictatorial, abusive, or even spineless. This type of leadership truly is like a heavy ax without an edge. The person may be able to force through his agenda may even have many people may follow him, but he will leave carnage in his path in pursuit of his misguided dreams. How much better it is to lead with wisdom. In fact, a person with wisdom, even if he does not have given authority, will become a natural leader who others will follow. A model of a good leader for any type of organization is found in Titus 1:7, “A church leader is a manager of God's household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money.” Now that is an example of someone I would be willing to follow. https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Live-and-Lead-with-wisdom-presence-purpose-and-vitality.jpg () That's a wrap for today's Wisdom Unplugged.

This podcast is one of two keynotes at the  Rupture, Crisis, Transformation conference on the future of American Studies held at Birkbeck in November 2014 [the other, Caryl Phillips on the Star-spangled banner can be found here] Rejecting ideas of American exceptionalism, Wai Chee Dimock looks at the work of author William Faulkner in a world context, seeing him as a regional writer.  In doing so, she is able to explore how his is the voice of the defeated southern States of America - a thesis she develops with reference to things he said and wrote while in Japan in 1955  (then a recently defeated nation). American novelist William Faulkner was born into an old Southern family in the US. The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Light in August (1932), and Absalom, Absalom! (1936) are perhaps his best known works and in 1949 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for "his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel". Wai Chee Dimock presents a radically new reading of Faulkner, and it was an important contribution to the theme at the heart of the conference, "At the end of the 'American Century', how do we understand the United States?"   Wai Chee Dimock has written on every period of American literature, from Anne Bradstreet to Star Trek.  She also writes movie reviews for the Los Angeles Review of Books.  She argues for a broad conception of American literature, embracing a variety of time frames, bringing together materials both high and low, and scales both local and global.  Her work has appeared in publications ranging from Critical Inquiry to Salon. Dimock’s book, Through Other Continents: American Literature Across Deep Time (2006), received Honorable Mention for the James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association and the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association.  This approach is further developed in a collaborative volume, Shades of the Planet: American Literature as World Literature (2007). She is now working on two book projects, ‘Weak Theory,’ and ‘Low Epic: World Literature as Downward Recycling.’

The Poetry of America’s 2014 national series The Voice of Women in American Poetry celebrates an enormous literary heritage. Distinguished contemporary poets—both male and female—will gather in five cities around the country to pay tribute to the immense achievement of a wide range of poets, from Phyllis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet to Adrienne Rich and Lucille Clifton.  In Los Angeles, join poets Marilyn Chin on Ai, Toi Derricotte on Anne Sexton and Percival Everett on Gertrude Stein.  

Bradstreet read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------- To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet (1612 – 1672) If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were lov’d by wife, then thee. If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can. I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that Rivers cannot quench, Nor ought but love from thee give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay. The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let’s so persever That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Bradstreet read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------- Upon Some Distemper of Body by Anne Bradstreet (1612 – 1672) In anguish of my heart replete with woes, And wasting pains, which best my body knows, In tossing slumbers on my wakeful bed, Bedrenched with tears that flowed from mournful head, Till nature had exhausted all her store, Then eyes lay dry, disabled to weep more; And looking up unto his throne on high, Who sendeth help to those in misery; He chased away those clouds and let me see My anchor cast i' th' vale with safety. He eased my soul of woe, my flesh of pain, and brought me to the shore from troubled main.
