My Side of the Pulpit: October 2009
http://mysideofthepulpit.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
My Side of the Pulpit. Saturday, October 24, 2009. 4:15 I hear the door slam open and my daughter yelling 'It's dad! I run to the kitchen, down the stairs and through the open doorway. My view is blocked by the van, and then my eyes meet his over its roof.and as I round the hood of the van, he is standing there, arms around the girls, his first hug-of-return an exact replica of the last. Except for their faces! Thursday, October 22, 2009. This is the 47th day I have woken up alone. And then a staff meeti...

My Side of the Pulpit: August 2009
http://mysideofthepulpit.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
My Side of the Pulpit. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. When you dance with the Spirit, you don't get to lead. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. To take another breath. The in-the-moment realities of a family on a road-trip vacation helped to push away thoughts of the changes coming upon us- even when a chunk of that vacation was put to use in finding my husband a place to live and sorting out his courses for the up-coming year.

My Side of the Pulpit: April 2010
http://mysideofthepulpit.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
My Side of the Pulpit. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. I am planning the worship service for May 16. The reading from Acts is the story of Paul and Silas, beaten and thrown into prison, praying and singing hymns of praise. What walls have I built around myself through ignorance, neglect or stubbornness? What wilful blindness keeps me contained in the inner prison? Lovelace knew that 'stone walls do not a prison make'; Viktor Frankl uncovered that truth again in the concentration camp. How shall I live this out?

My Side of the Pulpit. Thursday, June 10, 2010. And the year is done. At 6:05 pm, June 9, 2010, 'my' discernment committee 'signed off' , with the recommendation that I apply to become a Candidate for Ordination in the United Church of Canada. The discernment process that began on June 10, 2009 has led through quite a year.I am a little taller today, and a whole lot lighter. And so, to the next stage. And so it begins.or continues. July 7, 2010 at 1:39 PM. July 25, 2010 at 3:43 PM. It’s been awhile.

My Side of the Pulpit. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. And it's from the old we travel to the new. Finally- CAN 202, CAN 203- the forms have been completed and are on their way. I've considered myself to be on a writing hiatus for the past three months, but as I look back I realize that it wasn't really the case. I did do three church services- two of which were back-to-back in September. But I do continue. And happily so, looking forward to an interview date in December. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Side of the Pulpit: March 2009
http://mysideofthepulpit.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
My Side of the Pulpit. Monday, March 30, 2009. I have attained the age of 50. At 10 I had friends and no doubts, loved horses, and the best thing in the world to do was curl up in that comfy turquoise chair, eating oranges while I read myths and legends and fairy tales. At 40 I had a loving husband, two precious daughters and no doubts, a solid career, and the best thing in the world was to speak my mind. And now I am fifty. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Side of the Pulpit. Sunday, June 28, 2009. Everything I needed to know I learned from songs on the radio" Part 2. 1963: I am standing on the kitchen steps. My mom is hanging laundry on the clothesline. Through the screen door I hear it again: the song! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? At times in years since I have felt a feather-touch of some uncapturable sweetness, a sharp beauty that swoops close for a moment and is gone, an otherness, an ache of inarticulate joy.rare and fleeting. As the deadline dre...

My Side of the Pulpit. Sunday, July 26, 2009. And the road trip continues. The girls are asleep and I'm on my second cup of coffee here in Moose Jaw. We were disappointed in Calgary to learn that the pool was closed.so we watched two movies in the room and ordered pizza. 17 Again and Race to Witch Mountain. Xtine contacted us on Facebook to invited us to breakfast.and we accepted. It wasn't easy, but we did finally get everybody into the picture and looking in the general direction of the camera! I just ...
