27: My Take on the Tragedy in Newtown, CT. For my fellow Christians who are struggling to process the events at more of a distance. I hope this serves to at least provoke some productive thought and perhaps conversation. For immediate consumption by those who are. Mourning Friday's events in Newton, CT (or a similar tragedy). While this could be helpful in the future, I am (as much as I can be) absolutely certain it would not be timely for those deep in the trenches of grief. Questions inherent in a situ...

I'm getting excited about carving pumpkins again! This is the one i carved last year. Only with careful hands.". I have been reminded today of my love of Sleeping at Last. Their music is beautiful and lyrics are comp. Elling as well as thought-provoking. I could say a lot more, but I will just let the song speak for itself. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Here is a link to a live performance followed by the lyrics. Sleeping at Last - "Careful Hands". Put your coat on, this city trembles. A map to find us.

some thoughts...: The Whirlwind That Took Me to California
http://iwritenoteshere.blogspot.com/2011/04/whirlwind-that-took-me-to-california.html
The Whirlwind That Took Me to California. About four and a half weeks ago I came to Sacramento to interview for a position as a chaplain resident at UC Davis Medical Center. The interview was on Friday at 1. At 2:20 or so the interview concluded and a current resident took me on a tour of the hospital while the committee members present for my interview discussed their thoughts. At roughly 2:40 the chaplain was paged and asked to bring me back to the room, the committee wanted to see me. Shocked at the u...

I don't have a great answer to that FAQ, but I do have a general idea what my future will (hopefully! Look like. So, for all of you who are wondering. My plan is to become a certified hospital chaplain. To do this, I had to complete my Master of Divinity, which I did in December 2010. It's official now - I received my diploma in the mail yesterday! In addition, I have to participate in at least one year long residency at a hospital in their Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program. Mostly I am thrilled ...

Thanks, Wilson, for letting your love of Wilco rub off on me. They don't know nothing. An abyss in motion. God is with us everyday. Is with us every night. That don't know nothing. Oh they don't know. They thin my heart with little things. And my life with change. Oh in so many ways. I find more missing every day. Where you will look for me. Where I'm going you cannot come. No one's ever gonna take my life from me. I lay it down. A ghost is born. A ghost is born. A ghost is born. I'm a cherry ghost.

Musical Monday on a Tuesday. I woke up with this song in my head. It's been one of my favorites since Fall of 2008. I enjoy this live recording of it although it isn't quite as haunting or dark as the recorded version, in my opinion, which I prefer. But it's the only video I could find and it's still awesome.so.this will suffice! I do thoroughly enjoy Nickel Creek. I hope you do as well. I Should've Known Better". It's been a long time comin' and the cards were stacked. All alone in my kitchen. Parents g...

some thoughts...: St. Patrick's Day
http://iwritenoteshere.blogspot.com/2012/03/st-patricks-day.html
A year ago I was driving around Sacramento, trying to decide whether or not I would accept a job offer and move within a week, when I accidentally found myself in the middle of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Old Sacramento (which is quite green and rowdy! It is only fitting that I am spending this St. Patrick's Day on-call in the hospital, reflecting on the last year and all of the changes, struggles, blessings, and growth. Christ be with me, Christ within me,. Christ behind me, Christ before me,. Keith...

What a great song! Ryan Tedder, you make me swoon! You can serenade me anytime you'd like. Say (All I Need)". Do you know where your heart is? Do you think you can find it? Or did you trade it for something. Somewhere better just to have it? Do you know where your love is? Do you think that you lost it? You felt it so strong, but. Nothing's turned out how you wanted. Well, bless my soul. You're a lonely soul. Cause you won't let go. Of anything you hold. Well, all I need. Is the air I breathe. I woke up ...
