The Poet and the Propagandist. January 24, 2016. January 24, 2016. These are not new ideas, but old truths are worth saying again, if only for yourself. I am only an immature, amateur poet, but I still believe them to be true:. The poet loves words enough to sow them, cultivate them, prune them, and harvest them. The propagandist hates words enough to strip mine their meanings and cart them away to different states, where they are used for someone else’s project, someone else’s industry. January 12, 2016.

No, Dylan Thomas: A Lenten Declaration of Dependence | the suburban parson
https://thesuburbanparson.wordpress.com/2016/02/09/no-dylan-thomas-a-lenten-declaration-of-dependence-2
No, Dylan Thomas: A Lenten Declaration of Dependence. February 9, 2016. The arrogance of “Do not go gentle into that good night”. For the humility of “Lord, guide us into our lengthening days.”. Our self-confident and well-ordered villanelles. For the ragged, foolish free verse of the cross. We trade the clenched demands of the hero for the open freedom of the saint. We walk humbly before God, behind Jesus,. Into the Friday we call good because it became night. For the kindness of Joseph and Nicodemus.

About | the suburban parson
https://thesuburbanparson.wordpress.com/about
Hi, my name is Steven Rodriguez, and I’m the pastor of Lakeview Community Church in Greece, New York, which is just north of Rochester. I know the world does not need another blog from a pastor, but I intend to post things that are helpful to my friends in ministry, and perhaps helpful to others, too. If you are interested, I also have a blog about theology and other nerdy things here. I am going to try to keep this blog free of too much intellectual jargon. Grace and Peace,.

An epiklesis for pastoral conversation. January 7, 2016. Come Holy Spirit,. You who are faithful in every holy conversation. Our shooting the bull. Our desperate gasps to keep the conversation going. And to end it. Clothe our cheap talk in garments of meaning. Lift up our daily verbal patter to be more than itself,. To be tomorrow’s words. Work your way through. Interrupt our tired speech, massage the heaving muscles of our sagging, redundant, languid language. Talk over us,. Speak through us,. MaryLUE o...

January 12, 2016. January 12, 2016. Hold me, Jesus,. In the fitful sleeping hours. Between the finance committee meeting. And the hospital waiting room prayer vigil. Even though it will be short, mumbly, stuttered,. And when I leave, worry still rubs the hearts of each great-grandmother, anonymous cousin, and dad’s girlfriend. Hold them, too:. The line item numbers and the teenage aunts,. The adjacent parking spots in the hospital garage. While in this plastic, fleshy tent. Of each fiscal year. You are c...
