Rumination: March 2012
http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. Meditation give between Stations of The Cross and Benediction at The Episcopal Church of the Atonement on Friday, March 16 2012. We all have spiritual biographies. Where we’ve been and where we’re going. If we’re honest with ourselves - we could say there are parts of our biographies where we’ve come to great enlightenment, and there are part of our biographies where we come to great doubts. I left the Roman tradition for a myriad of reason. But as time went by I felt the ne...

Rumination: January 2012
http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. I love these hand written signs in local businesses near where I live. Saturday, January 21, 2012. This first bag wishes me THANK YOU. And with sort of a half smile - to HAVE A NICE DAY (exclamation point). It also notes: WARNING: TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION, KEEP THIS PLASTIC BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN, DO NOT USE THIS BAG IN CRIBS, BEDS, CARRIAGES, AND PLAYPENS. THIS IS NOT A TOY. Don't call the police, but I'm sorta playin' with this bag as a toy right now. My Amary...

Rumination: May 2012
http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. One of my goals of the day today was to find Tamarind for an East Indian inspired barbequed chicken dish. My father sent me the recipe. In my search I came home with three species of Tamarind - none of which are really what the author of the recipe had in mind. Monday, May 14, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rumination: Discerning God's Call
http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/2012/01/discerning-gods-call.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. It has been more than a year since I have posted. This past Wednesday I had the privilege of preaching to my own community: The Brotherhood of Saint Gregory. I preached on the following text. Then the Lord said to Samuel, ‘See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. In the name of The Father. Many of you know, I made a big deal out of turning age fifty this past year. So, I’m all like. Initially it is not Samuel, but Eli...

Rumination: Study in White
http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/2012/01/study-in-white.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. My Amaryllis and Paperwhites are blooming at the same time this year. Usually the Paperwhites bloom first. I bought a white amaryllis this year (they were out of red). To me, forced bulbs are the antidote to mid-winter. Along with the theme of white, here in Chicago we are supposed to get a significant amount of measurable snow starting now.
