LiturgyGeek: August 2010
http://liturgygeek.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A blog about liturgy, faith, snark, beagles, and whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully mostly liturgy. Friday, August 13, 2010. Dear friends, I am off to Costa Rica for the next month, living with a host family and learning Spanish. I am only slightly terrified, as I know about 40 words in Spanish and won't know anyone in this program. And my darling Backbencher and I will be apart for the whole month. If you live in the area, please ply him with food and drinks in my absence. Wednesday, August 04, 2010.

LiturgyGeek: January 2011
http://liturgygeek.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A blog about liturgy, faith, snark, beagles, and whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully mostly liturgy. Monday, January 31, 2011. Stories Told and Untold. I listened to this woman share her anger and frustration. I listened as she shared sorrowful family history – a few generations back – that helped to form her pro-choice convictions to this day. In the midst of my anger and frustration, I began to think. I wondered, Was there room in this worship service for these women? And if not, why not? How many peo...

LiturgyGeek: The War on Christmas/Christianity
http://liturgygeek.blogspot.com/2011/12/war-on-christmaschristianity.html
A blog about liturgy, faith, snark, beagles, and whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully mostly liturgy. Wednesday, December 07, 2011. The War on Christmas/Christianity. So long as we permit people to be hungry, homeless, naked and lonely, the war on Christianity continues. Perhaps this Advent season, we could work a little harder to fight those battles, and let store employees off the hook for wishing us "Happy Holidays.". Labels: War on Christmas; politics. Preach on, sister! A-to the freaking-men is right.

LiturgyGeek: Ah, Vestments
http://liturgygeek.blogspot.com/2011/11/ah-vestments.html
A blog about liturgy, faith, snark, beagles, and whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully mostly liturgy. Monday, November 14, 2011. It's not often I get asked to do stuff like write prayers to the four directions or to incorporate smudging in our congregational life. (More's the pity, I think.) Asperging - sure. Smudging? The wedding was fabulous. The brides were radiant, and the liturgy we'd crafted together happened beautifully. The Spirit was alive and celebrating with us! I slipped out of the reception ...

LiturgyGeek: September 2010
http://liturgygeek.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A blog about liturgy, faith, snark, beagles, and whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully mostly liturgy. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. In Which I Come Out as a Pacifist Hippie. And perhaps a disappointment to my father, who spent 20 years in the Army and more than 2 additional decades as a military consultant.*. Our government celebrates those who kill "the enemy.". I kid He's proud of my ability to think independently and come to my own conclusions, even when we disagree. For my part, if anyone had to d...

Left to Grace: March 2014
http://lefttograce.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts from a life full of all kinds of falls, and all kinds of grace. Sunday, March 9, 2014. I joined a church today. And not because I was the Pastor, or married to the Pastor. But because I chose to. It is the first time in my life that I have done so as an adult (or as a child attached to parents who made the choice) that was not attached to a vocation calling for either me or my spouse. Each week, each email, each call or conversation I have thought to myself, “this could be home.”. It has been so...

Left to Grace: The Disguise of Our Lives: A Letter to My Parents

Thoughts from a life full of all kinds of falls, and all kinds of grace. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The Disguise of Our Lives: A Letter to My Parents. Dear Mom and Dad,. What a day Sunday was. I got to sit in the church sanctuary that has been a second home for you for more than 20 years today and be completely surrounded by the love that has embraced y’all all those years. It was a packed room that celebrated Mom’s steadfast and remarkable gift of music to so many. There were a lot of tears. Perhaps I...
