Little Things | Serendipity Soiree
https://serendipitysoiree.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/little-things
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.

Bad Wine and Grief | Serendipity Soiree
https://serendipitysoiree.wordpress.com/2015/06/11/bad-wine-and-grief
Bad Wine and Grief. June 11, 2015. This week I’ve been in Sedona, Arizona on a mini retreat with a group of clergy gals who have become a covenant group of sorts. We get together each month via video chat to check in with one another, and a couple times each year we get together in person at various locations around the country. It’s a life-giving arrangement. Tuesday was one of those days. One tasting room in particular was filled with bad wines — wines that tasted of prune juice, that clung t...For the...

https://serendipitysoiree.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/just-a-symbol-a-reflection-on-the-relocation-of-ga-2017
8212; A Reflection on the Relocation of GA 2017. April 1, 2015. During the lead up to Indiana’s Gov. Pence signing SEA 101 (the Religious Freedom Restoration Act — RFRA), some of the national leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) sent a letter to the governor that implored him to veto the bill. (See full text of that letter here – scroll to bottom of page for the original letter). If so, then to what new location? Still others see the move as divisive — a moment when “all mean...Here̵...

Gringo Day Prayers | Serendipity Soiree
https://serendipitysoiree.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/gringo-day-prayers
June 20, 2014. Today we said one last goodbye to Chacraseca before heading back to Managua. Leslie, refers to this day of the trip as “gringo day”, because it is the leg of the trip that moves us back to the airport hotel via a few shopping excursions. It is common knowledge that gringos/gringas come to Nicaragua to shop. Tonight, we are nestled into the hotel, savoring air conditioning and wrestling with the question: what now? How do you honor the people of Chacraseca in your day to day life? Phil Snid...

Rantings of the Faithful: 09.2010
http://pastorpeters.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Rantings of the Faithful. Rant, pray, bless, draw, lament and praise with me in the wonders and mysteries of trying to be who God has called me to be. Honoring My Need to Cocoon. This is the word that I fell off my lips today. My therapist picked up on it. What is it about honor that you need? What is it about honor that you want? What is it that you understand in that word? This photo was taken by Madhu B Nai. I need to honor myself. What Do You Need? This is the question that I'm asking myself. Like me...

Mother God | A Dirty Mind
https://outoftheearth.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/mother-god
Spirit and Body, Intellect and Earth. Asymp; Leave a comment. Texts: Psalm 131; a reading from the Shewings of Julian of Norwich. I have this problem where, every few years, I forget just how unbelievably misogynistic the wider church can be, until some article or personal experience reminds me again. I was raised American Baptist, a denomination that has ordained women since the late 19. A woman in labor, but another thing entirely for God to say she actually gave birth. Are made in God’s image, because...

Spirit and Body, Intellect and Earth. The Communion of Saints. Asymp; 2 Comments. Texts: Hebrews 12:1-2; Wendell Berry’s Sabbath Poem, “I tremble with gratitude”. How did they show you their love for you? What did they teach you about life and the world around you about music, food, hunting, a craft, service, faith, tradition, courage? Even if you can’t see their face, can you feel their embrace? Can you feel them sending you strength? The Prisoner of Azkaban. You think that we don’t recall them more cle...
