First Sunday of Advent?! | Left at the Altar
https://leftatthealtar.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/first-sunday-of-advent
Left at the Altar. Unapologetically liberal views on faith, politics, science, and philosophy. First Sunday of Advent? December 3, 2012. The lighting of Advent candles at the beginning of the church service, edging closer and closer to that big, fancy Christ candle in the center; the song-cycle building toward The Big Day…. Now the first Sunday candle-lighting ceremony in church startles me: “What? It’s December, already? From the Society of St. John the Evangelist. And in lieu of my own Advent calendar ...

http://sheddingsomeenlightenment.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. Be Willing to Follow the Signs, ,. I must say that by the time that I arrived for dinner, I was in a much different frame of mind. I was even more complete. Hey life, thanks for the little detours that show me the vivid sunrise or the gentle assent of a hot air balloon. You just never know what God has in store for you. Be willing… Be grateful…. So, my friends I bid you good journey and I see your every step divinely ordered and your path full of infinite possibilities.

OnFire: the young united methodist justice movement. Monday, April 22, 2013. God of the Sparrow, God of the Whale. The smell of ice melting into damp earth. The sounds of returning geese harmonizing with winter silence over sundown. Spring in rural Minnesota means new grass, wobbling calves, thawing lakes, sunlight dissolving clouds, and the first tassels of corn brushing up from the fields. So why wouldn’t Jesus rise from the dead? Fundamentalism limits God to a narrow interpretation of texts and dogma&...

Shedding Some Enlightenment: July 2013
http://sheddingsomeenlightenment.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 15, 2013. From The Passion Narrative - Don't Even Go There. I was speaking with a friend of mine recently about something that we discovered was a very sensitive and touchy subject for each of us. There was even a point in our conversation that she said to me, “Girl, don’t even go there…” It was in that moment that I realized the truth of the truth, we were already there; past the point of no return. In going there, it seems as if our great realization is that we do not become edgy until we ...

Sunday, April 14, 2013. Where Do Blessings Come From? Blessed to be a blessing: Where do the blessings in our lives come from? Are they delivered and left alone outside of our doorways?
