Delicate Awakening: Belief is More Important Than Works
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2011/09/belief-is-more-important-than-works.html
Monday, September 12, 2011. Belief is More Important Than Works. At least when it comes to nutrition. Most of us are aware of at least a few people who have little interest in diet or exercise yet manage to live long, healthy lives. I remember asking a youthful 94 year old her secret and she replied, "a cigarette after dinner and some whiskey before bed." I laughed; she was serious! It sounds fanciful, but this sweet lady may have been sharing some profound wisdom. About the food we eat. Do not judge, an...

Delicate Awakening: Beauty in Brokenness
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2012/03/beauty-in-brokenness.html
Monday, March 19, 2012. And pull up a shard. A fragment of my broken life. Sharp, jagged edges. I have found the source of my pain, but I don't want to let it go. Something almost imperceptible shifts. And a shadow of hope is cast. I start to notice. Hands lifted in surrender. I let go completely. A brief silence, a skipped beat, a sharp breath. God raises that shard to the light. And rainbows dance in dark places. The promise of life has been fulfilled,. March 27, 2012 at 8:14 AM. Back in the Garden.

Delicate Awakening: Back in the Garden
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2012/03/back-in-garden.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Back in the Garden. In fact, from a certain perspective I don't consider. The Fall of Man. I don't think so. But from that point on, Adam and Eve felt vulnerability (nakedness) and shame. Once man evolved beyond his animalistic instincts he developed the ability to consciously bring harm to himself and others. He was also able to use his mental powers to judge despite his errors in perception. Consciousness, or self-awareness, created. When it says Eve shared the fruit with Adam,...

Delicate Awakening: Love 'em all, and let God sort 'em out!
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2013/07/love-em-all-and-let-god-sort-em-out.html
Tuesday, July 23, 2013. Love 'em all, and let God sort 'em out! But is being gay a sin? I really wish Jesus had met a homosexual at the well, or given us a parable about this issue, but he didn't, so we are left to consider how Jesus treated other marginalized people. Who were the marginalized people in Jesus' day? Who were looked down upon, considered less than, or morally suspect? I will admit, I could. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Delicate Awakening: Learning the Art of Patience
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2011/07/learning-art-of-patience.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. Learning the Art of Patience. I'm not a very patient person. I've been aware of this shortcoming for many years but only recently have I made a conscious decision to practice. I'm so caught up in getting things done. Is her everpresent mantra these days and my rebuttals are just as predictable: We're too late. Hurry up. Focus. You're taking too long. Just let me do it! Resident: Get me an egg sandwich; this dinner is terrible. Resident: I don't eat tuna! I did go down to the main...

Delicate Awakening: I'm Doing Nothing For Lent
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2012/02/im-doing-nothing-for-lent.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I'm Doing Nothing For Lent. In a world where productivity rules and efficiency is king, intentionally leaving the margins blank seems counterintuitive. We text while waiting in line-ups, read on the toilet and respond to emails while watching television. I've become so accustomed to doing. That I have a hard time not doing. This is my plan for Lent. Please contact me regarding the usage of my photo on your post. Thank you! February 23, 2012 at 7:14 AM. J ust another story ab...

Delicate Awakening: Questioning 'Questioning Christianity'
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2012/01/questioning-questioning-christianity.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Lately I feel less than inspired to blog here at Questioning Christianity. And I think it's because I'm not in the same place I was when I started writing. I still have loads of questions, I'm just not as hungry for answers anymore. Or maybe the answers don't satisfy so much because as interesting as it is to debate God stuff it's infinitely more rewarding to experience God stuff. These days I'm keeping busy practicing.

Delicate Awakening: I Am Who I AM
http://delicateawakening.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-am-who-i-am.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. I Am Who I AM. But something really wonderful has been happening lately: I am seeing myself as a child of God and fellow sojourner -just another Bozo on the bus really! This perspective of brotherhood heals me in a fundamental way. We are. Equals. No matter how pretty she is or how intellectual he is or how much compassion or creativity or success they have, I am an equal. Nowadays, when I catch myself being completely myself. 8217; What shall I say to them? Ive been trying to...
