Christian Union Church: September 2014
http://westgrotoncuc.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Without elaboration and as little eye contact as possible. One problem with these. Meetings is that they usually occurred again and again. As in, “She always uses my stuff ….*insert litany of examples here* The problem was that forgiveness never really happened. Instead, we each lived with our own tally boards of wrongs the other committed. What does forgiveness mean to you? How do you forgive others? It is a pius question. How often should I forgive. Will I forgive you?

Christian Union Church: Beloved: the name is the starting place (Lent 1, Sunday)
http://westgrotoncuc.blogspot.com/2016/02/beloved-name-is-starting-place-lent-1.html
Sunday, February 14, 2016. Beloved: the name is the starting place (Lent 1, Sunday). Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the Wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. Over the fall and the winter, Josiah has become enamored with watching football. He delights in clapping at the television saying go go. Or throwing his hands in the air as he proclaims touchdown. Even though there was no football to be found. Whichever roads you may trav...

Christian Union Church: June 2014
http://westgrotoncuc.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. On That Windy Mountain. The story of “The Binding of Isaac”. Is not an easy one to digest. For most of us, it does not leave us uplifted in the way we might be after remembering the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Or David and Goliath. Or Jesus feeding the 5,000. Naturally we like to focus on the ending where God sent the angel and a ram to spare Isaac. But, even with the happier ending, I contend with the nagging questions that ask:. We call this man the Father of many nations?

August 19, 2014. When I reached the bathroom at Target, I was in rush. Book club was in less than three hours, the dogs needed to be let out, and I still needed to finish the stinkin’ book. All I could afford was a quick potty break and then a dash towards the baked goods so I could grab dessert for the meeting — in, out, and on the run! In other words, it was a Sunday afternoon. 8220;Has anyone told you today that you are beautiful? 8220;Wow,” she whispered. 8220;I know, right? Larr; Gringo Day Prayers.
