Flight 531: Lent [Day 5]: Approach and Departure
http://jenspin.blogspot.com/2013/02/lent-day-5-approach-and-departure.html
Lent [Day 5]: Approach and Departure. The countdown from one-hundred-ten reflexively begins as the gear drops - a test of a flight attendant's tension-easing small talk several trips ago. A fling of a mooring rope to land about the time that faith in fluid dynamics wanes. (One-hundred-twelve to a crooked touchdown - owing, perhaps, to an errant forty-six and inconsistent pacing. The human measurement of the mechanical.). Originally written 1 January 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lent [Day 1]:...

Finding the Art in Everything. 17 May, 2013. Where God Has Curly Hair, Wears Running Shorts, Loves Tea and Oreos, and Knows That We Need More Beer and Men. A portrait - Coffee, Tea, and Sisterhood.

The Strand: March 2011
http://crossingthestrand.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Finding the Art in Everything. 12 March, 2011. I is for Israelites. No one tells you that freedom first feels like death. I met with my spiritual director this week and confessed that I want to go home. In a way that bears down on me like a physical weight. And while I know my "old life" is impossible to retrieve, it's the only name I can put on the relief I crave. When I explained this to my spiritual director, he said, "I bet you're asking God, 'Did you bring me out here to die? But the answer is.

The Strand: April 2013

Finding the Art in Everything. 28 April, 2013. Where God is in The Tent. This morning a friend preached from Exodus 33, about the Israelites’ reaction to when Moses went to meet God in the Tent of Meeting. He reminded us that the tent was there for everyone to enter, but only two did. He implored us to daily enter the Tent as Moses and Joshua did, because we, too, are dependent on God’s Presence and Glory. I'm desperate for it. We believe God is now with us all the time. Yet we still have to go looking.

Finding the Art in Everything. 18 May, 2011. I have had a momentous year, but there's little to show for it here. For the last nine months, I have been doing a different kind of "posting". My best art and insight has been "posted" with 28 cents and the help of the mailman. If you are a regular reader of my blog, it's not that I've abandoned it. It's just that you're not on my mailing list. Sorry. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). She really needs no embellishment. View my complete profile. Walking Next to You.

Finding the Art in Everything. 22 April, 2011. Tim, our church's intern, has a new pet he collected at China Camp State Park. It lives in my old candy jar on his desk in my old office. I saw it, and I was reminded of a poem sent to me by a friend some years ago. He sent it to me because I was studying prayer. ISKANDARIYA by Bridget Pegeen Kelly. It was not a scorpion I asked for, I asked for a fish, but. Maybe God misheard my request, maybe God thought. Request he would surely have granted, being a goodly.
