The MoSaic: keeping up with Easter
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2007/04/keeping-up-with-easter.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Monday, April 09, 2007. Keeping up with Easter. After all of the usual fun and discovery of easter eggs and easter baskets on Sunday morning, my sister and brother-in-law sat down with their boys to talk with them about the reason we celebrate Easter in the first place. After a lesson on biblical history, the family loaded up and headed to church to worship and celebrate our risen Lord. He may very well...

The MoSaic: the treasure in jars of clay
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2007/03/treasure-in-jars-of-clay.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Tuesday, March 20, 2007. The treasure in jars of clay. 8220;Betsy, you’re like a cracked pot, and if you don’t take care of the cracks, everything inside of you is going to come spilling out onto the people around you! What are we afraid might come “spilling out? Outwardly, I am nothing, but it is God who is at work inside of me… and it is. That I want others to see—not a flawless cistern. Bets, you're ...

The MoSaic: the treasure is not in the golden ticket
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2006/10/treasure-is-not-in-golden-ticket.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Saturday, October 14, 2006. The treasure is not in the golden ticket. Now, before you go thinking I’m the spitting. Betsy, because you are so open to meeting those moments as they come I believe your life will be FULL of them! Whereas many people shy away from or plain avoid such moments to be in the raw with people in such vulnerable states they miss out - not you, my dear. May that never change. Take ...

The MoSaic: Unload the Camel
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2006/11/unload-camel_25.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Saturday, November 25, 2006. Sell it. It’s worthless. It’s not what I’m looking for. In fact, Jesus went so far as to say that a camel could more easily pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter his Kingdom. And then God says, “Unload the camel.”. What are we without the things we do? To be more clear, what is in our hearts? What is our heart’s attitude towards God? Our Friends The B...

The MoSaic: waiting
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2007/03/waiting.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Thursday, March 22, 2007. Sometimes we get stuck in this self-defeating mindset of “waiting around.” All we can think about is how we’re waiting for God to do this, waiting for God to do that… waiting, waiting, waiting… poor pitiful us. When I read Isaiah 30:18 today, I realized we’re not the only ones waiting… God waits too. Have i told. you lately. that I love you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The MoSaic: just feel it
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2007/06/just-feel-it.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Perhaps we’re asking God to make it better so that we don’t have to worry about what to say to our friend in the midst of the dark cloud that makes us so uneasy. With this ensuing insight. I'm not naive enough to think you're wrong, but I am wimpy enough not to like it. I don't like pain. I know it often equals growth, but I still don't like it. View my complete profile.

A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. Thank you Hattie and Lance. I don’t know if I’ll ever see Hattie or Lance again, but as I walked back to my car this afternoon, I heard Lance, army guy in hand, say “Nana, I think she loves Jesus like we do. Do you think so?

The MoSaic: the raft and the river
http://betsywhitsitt.blogspot.com/2007/02/raft-and-river.html
A forum of faith and reflection. "I never realized that broken glass could shine so brightly." Nouwen. Saturday, February 03, 2007. The raft and the river. I was fulfilled. I was happy. I was residing in the will of God. It’s funny what panic will do to a person. It causes us to react circumstantially, and muffles the gentle guidance of God. 8221; There have been times that I’ve felt that way, but when I really examine the situation, it’s usually my own fear creating that sort of picture. In the times th...
