the liquid abyss...: December 2008
http://liquidabyss.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Two years ago I had the best Christmas imaginable. I, along with 41 others went to Nagpur, India to serve at an orphanage run by the Pawar. Family who operate Crosspoint. Although I have some of my worst memories from those 2 weeks of my life (around 20 of us did get VERY sick on the trip, after all), I also have some of the best memories of my life. Those memories greatly outweigh the bad ones and that is what I would like to share with you on this post. Etc Then, we drove ...

A Heart After God...: September 2014
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Monday, September 15, 2014. Time, time, time. I am not good with time, on multiple levels. In general, I'm very good at being very busy - with filling up my time. More specifically - I don't know what to do with time when it's not filled up. So let's step back for a second. And then I have weeks like this week where I look at my calendar and realize that I will, once again, not have a true day off (by choice and for good reasons, for sure! It was...

A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Monday, April 14, 2014. Let it Go" on the Cross. The blessing of divinity school is that you can think of just about anything theologically…. And the curse of divinity school is that you can think of just about anything theologically…. The snow glows white on the mountain tonight. Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation,. And it looks like I'm the Queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in;. Makes e...

A Heart After God...: Thanksgiving 2014
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014/11/thanksgiving-2014.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Friday, November 28, 2014. It's a post of thanks a day post Thanksgiving. There is much to be thankful for this last year -. My brother deployed the day after Thanksgiving last year, and he returned home safe. For that, I am thankful. I rang in 2015 with good friends. For that, I am thankful. I completed my MDiv and graduated. For that, I am thankful. The by-laws were changed and I was ordained by FBC Kernersville. For that, I am thankful. More t...

A Heart After God...: Adoration by Martha Kilpatrick
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014/11/if-you-ignore-that-in-kilpatricks.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Monday, November 3, 2014. Adoration by Martha Kilpatrick. If you ignore that in Kilpatrick's interpretation of Mary she sets Martha as in the wrong and Mary knowing the "one way", you can read a lot of good in this book . Certainly, you can read Mary as the one who chose Jesus, but it discounts much of the actual doing. That is required in ministry, as well. On that point alone, I was jaded as I read the book because that is where she started.

A Heart After God...: October 2014
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Made in the USA. This is not what you think. Rather than the proud, flag-waving "MADE IN THE USA" screamed from rooftops, this is Made in the USA: The Sex Trafficking of America's Children. Educate yourself, and then work to make this book an archive - hopefully, some day, a book like this will not need to be read. That's my hope. But for now - read it. Christianity is Messy: Walking in Grace. I get frustrated sometimes.

A Heart After God...: Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids: A Book Review
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2015/01/is-sunday-school-destroying-our-kids.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids: A Book Review. I was reading this book around the same time I read this article: How Secular Family Values Stack Up. A friend texted me that the article was "sad" - when I asked why it was sad, she revealed that she just didn't understand it. So I went on, explaining something that's come up quite a few times recently:. You don't have to be a Christian to be a good person. Religio...

A Heart After God...: June 2014
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Friday, June 13, 2014. The Bible has been on the shelf throughout DivSchool. Put down so I could read the Oxford Annotated NRSV for school, and compare the original Greek and Hebrew languages to different translations to find the meaning in and between the words. Put down so I could learn the technicalities of faith…. Until last night when I picked it up, thinking about my journey to ordination and the people that have meant so much to me. So muc...

A Heart After God...: January 2014
http://eternal-sunrise.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A Heart After God. Following God wherever the path may go. Sunday, January 5, 2014. Life in the Bread and Cup. We took communion this morning at church. The bread and cup of Life. A centuries old tradition of the church, and one that my current church takes part in at least quarterly. Today, it is freeing. I learned how much that grace means and how deeply it is felt. It is what allows me to live my life each and every day. Without grace, I am nothing at all. My life without it was quickl...Acts 20:24- H...
