Arlene's Blogarific Day: December 2011
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Saturday, December 10, 2011. It forms and informs our belief about:. When we live in the very real belief that God is fully present and can not be summoned and dismissed at will it gives new life and color to this life. Everything really is Spiritual.

Arlene's Blogarific Day: Life, Death and Living
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/life-death-and-living.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Life, Death and Living. That tension struck me last night. And hence this post. Living life in the midst of pain and grief but not being shut down by it. Is that possible? Does it appear disrespectful? Does it rub up against social norms? Is it okay that my heart was aching in one spot yet I was being silly and lighthearted in other spots? And that my friend is the best way I know to honor a life lived.

Arlene's Blogarific Day: February 2010
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Monday, February 08, 2010. It has been 5 years of blogging now and I discovered today that there is no easy way to delete a blogspot account short of deleting individual blog posts. So, I am going to be taking a break from this blog for a while. Who knows, maybe we will catch up later! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Arlene's Blogarific Day: May 2010
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Saturday, May 22, 2010. You Are Holy Because I Am Holy. Holy Me. Really? And so we are holy because He is holy. We are made, called and sent for a purpose. Friday, May 21, 2010. Interaction with a friend recently has stirred these thoughts and I am not really sure I have a good way to articulate what I am thinking. Ah, this is why I blog. I get to order ideas and thoughts on paper, well on a screen if we are going to be technical. Has prided itself on, we have to...

Arlene's Blogarific Day: September 2010
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Often pain oozing out of them. And at worst lifeless. Pounding with unspoken but real experiences. Untouched or even undiscovered. Patterns that annoy frustrate and pacify. Yet when given the freedom to be. Often launch passion in unexpected ways. Faces, hearts, lives are given context. What seems is now rewritten as what is. It is clear that what we think we see is not clear. Because it is unsafe to speak. Friday, September 24, 2010.

Arlene's Blogarific Day: Chasing Bunnies
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/chasing-bunnies.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. I'm not going to lie, it looked more like a Jackalope or a small deer than a bunny. I chased it a little but soon stopped when I realized my laughing was only adding to the desperation of it's fleeing. Capturing the picture was long out of my mind. I was having a blast chasing this thing in a field at the lake. Jackalope . . . nice! Its a good thing she wasnt walking with you, you would have captured the little guy and brought him home!

Arlene's Blogarific Day: November 2011
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Thursday, November 03, 2011. It's all about the Heart. I just got back from doing a retreat in Honduras and several of the women there had heard me speak before. It prompted a conversation that keeps replaying in my head. I was asked the question, "why are you so inspired by the God of the Old Testament? It got me reflecting on some of the core beliefs I hold about the Old Testament:. 1I believe that the point of all scripture is to tell the story of God.

Arlene's Blogarific Day: Freedom and Censorship
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/freedom-and-censorship.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Saturday, April 30, 2011. I know what you are thinking and that is not what I mean. I grew up with movies that were "cut" and books that were banned and propaganda that was distributed all in an attempt to control a nation. Been there, done that and no t-shirts were allowed because we were not supposed to know it was happening. And so, freedom takes on a different meaning inside of relationship. We are free to lay down our lives for the sake of others. Fr...But, ...

Arlene's Blogarific Day: September 2011
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Friday, September 30, 2011. Last night I was re-watching scenes from Antwone Fisher - an amazing story on many levels, but specifically in terms of the drive for a place to belong. Home was both elusive, hurtful and dangerous in his experience. And then in one conversation with his Aunt, he found a place to belong. It brings tears to my eyes just writing about it.

Arlene's Blogarific Day: Country Music
http://kasselblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/country-music.html
What I'm thinking even if I don't say it. Saturday, July 02, 2011. My family says it all went downhill after I bought my first pair of boots. They tease me mercilessly over my growing love of Country music. I've tried to defend myself but the best defense is just hitting play on my Country Favs playlist and they scatter! So, Billy Currington perhaps you are right. God is great, beer is good and people are crazy! Blessings to you and family.:). Hey, Arlene. Great post. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
