The church in which I grew up had several resources that became common to all of us who spent any sort of significant time there. I’m sure the children of Christ Church have as much familiarity with the Godly Play boxes which help to unfold the stories of our sacred text as I doContinue reading “Whatever Will Make You Ready”

God Is In The Waiting With Us.
When I was a preschool teacher, one of the greatest joys of that work was watching kids learn how to transition from chaotic scribbles with crayons to slowly learning to control their hands and their writing utensil. It was a great joy because of the pride that the kids had once they finally learned toContinue reading “God Is In The Waiting With Us.”
Deliver Us Not
Taking a break from the podcasts that I had lined up to make the long drive from Abilene to Tennessee to see my family for my first Christmas break from the GST, I keyed into a local radio station, but rather than some popular song that I immediately recognized, the voice coming through the speakersContinue reading “Deliver Us Not”
And I Prayed: A Woman’s First Time
I continue to have firsts in the church; today, I taught my first class. While it doesn’t quite compare to serving Eucharist, it was certainly reminiscent of experiencing that first. Last November, after I prayed and served my first Eucharist, I wrote this reflection of the experience. Today was reminiscent of that experience, because, yetContinue reading “And I Prayed: A Woman’s First Time”

Each week, we divide up the labor of translation within our translation team. As we’veContinue reading “Aftershocks of Hierarchy”
And I Prayed: A Woman’s First Time
Somehow, this is different. All week long I’ve been wrestling with why this is different. I have prayed and served communion before in a variety of settings, but somehow I knew today would be different. Yesterday, as my thoughts swam around what today would hold, I posed the question to my facebook friends: why isContinue reading “And I Prayed: A Woman’s First Time”

psychology notes.: the journey, mary oliver
and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own psychotherapy: One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice—though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried.Continue reading “psychology notes.: the journey, mary oliver”
