Will Work for Blessings: November 2004
http://willworkforblessings.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2004. The Pleasure of Simple Things Done Well. If this all seems obvious – that simple things are best – why is it that the lesson is so easily, repeatedly forgotten? Why does it require so much effort to do so little, especially this time of year when greed and gluttony take center stage? But now when I get the urge to reinvent myself, to figure out what life is all about, to plumb the depths of my soul, I know the best course of action is not to think but to do. To plant a flower.

Will Work for Blessings: January 2008
http://willworkforblessings.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 24, 2008. Incredible video using only still photos. Twenty days. Twenty thousand still images. A single message. Toronto Star photographer Lucas Oleniuk captures the issue of global warming in a video created entirely by using still images. It's part of the countdown to Earth Hour, March 29. To view it. It's lovely, and depressing, all at the same time. Wednesday, January 9, 2008. I'm a frequent visitor to the Vineyard Community Church of Iowa City. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Will Work for Blessings
http://willworkforblessings.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-had-just-come-from-really-uplifting.html
Saturday, November 2, 2013. I had just come from a really uplifting, substantive, nuanced conversation over coffee with a young man who is brimming with ideas and passion to bring God’s love to the poor, underserved and overlooked on our city’s largely minority southeast side, when I came upon the street preacher. But more about him in a minute. And then, there was the street preacher. Century dandy, as if every day were Halloween. But I know going home won't be easy, and going back to the community wher...

Will Work for Blessings: Just For the Feng of It
http://willworkforblessings.blogspot.com/2005/02/just-for-feng-of-it.html
Friday, February 18, 2005. Just For the Feng of It. It’s amazing the kind of curiosity you can stir when you do something as seemingly innocuous as clean your office. Work, however, is another matter. Others seemed to notice, too. 8220;Looks like you’ve been watching a little too much ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,’” my alleged friend, Blaze, said as he walked by my office one morning. “Trying to put a little more Feng in your Shui? Apparently offers the service to students, faculty and staff through i...

Will Work for Blessings: A Wing and a Prayer
http://willworkforblessings.blogspot.com/2005/02/wing-and-prayer.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2005. A Wing and a Prayer. From up here it looks like someone murdered the Holy Spirit. I’d heard the soft thump of flesh striking glass, a common enough occurrence in an office building with large picture windows. Usually the bird glances off, tumbles a bit and then claws its way back into the air, no worse for the encounter. But this was different. It sounded. Only it didn’t. The head-shaking slowed until the pigeon looked like it was nodding off to sleep. Symbol of the Holy Spirit.
