First, a confession (because if this is a theological post, I must clear my conscious first, that’s why.): I’m writing this on Thursday at around mid-day and I’m back dating it to Wednesday. But it’s all about what happened on Wednesday, oK?
Second, a warning: This is long and probably boring.
“Today” was the first Wednesday [...]
Vespers by Charlie May from Everette, WAJohn 11 "Lord, come and see."
In and around talking about the text he talked about devotions with his wife.
What if I actually got that? Someone who would/could have devotions with me in the morning….or anytime of the day? What if I could have a romantic relationship that included that [...]
What part of “freedom and justice for all” don’t people get? Seems like it’s the “for all” part. I’m am so disheartened every day to learn of the increasing narcissism and myopic self-righteousness of so many people in this country!
And NO! I haven’t even SEEN “Sicko!” yet!!!!!
Here is yet another reason why I totally don’t [...]
According to the Christian Alliance for Progress, there has been a formal apology from former leaders of an ex-gay ministry. CAPBlog doesn’t give any analysis or comment other than to provide links to two of the formal statements (here and here.)
For me, I give thanks to God that Michael Bussee, Darlene Bogle and Jeremy [...]
After the staff meeting I walked over to the Sem to return some music I had borrowed. I found ZH talking with KR in her office. They were chatting about various things, AH’s potential job (in Pittsburgh!) and how Z would transition from his if she gets it. Also Z’s book that’s out now (got [...]
From the bottom of an email I got today:
The most delicious piece of knowledge for me is that I am a child of God. That is so mind-boggling, that this “it” created everything, and I am a child of “it.” It means I am connected to every thing and every body. That’s all delicious and [...]
Most people know something from the book of Eccelsiastes. If nothing else, you probably have heard the 60’s Pete Seeger version of the text, recorded by The Byrds. (To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn…) A lot of people will even know the section that is sometimes described as [...]
Today is Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Carnival. Call it what you will, it’s the last day of the season of Epiphany. Tomorrow starts the season of Lent, which is it’s own kettle of fish (heh!) But today is still Epiphany. Culturally we use the word to mean a revelation, an “A-ha!” moment. It’s not completely [...]
I ran across this quote while catching up on some reading today. It’s by Carter Heyward, an Episcopal theologian that I’m not familiar with, but a list of her published writings can be accessed here.
“Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, [...]
You scored as Luther. You are Martin Luther. You’ll stick with the words of Scripture, and defend this with earthy expressions. You believe in an orthodox Christology. You believe that the bread and wine are the Body and Blood of Christ, but aren’t too sure about where he goes after the meal, and so you [...]
