some folks: July 2014

http://somefolks.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 24, 2014. A villanelle for these days. The fire kindles, starts to burn-. The wood is wet and smoky sputters. The things that I have yet to learn. My heart is broken but still it yearns. My tongue is clay and barely stutters-. The fire kindles, starts to burn. Turning towers into clutter. The things that I have yet to learn. Nobody's pain is lost or spurned. The broken dove begins to flutter. The fire kindles, starts to burn. A wild fire, grace unearned. The things that I have yet to learn.

some folks: April 2013

http://somefolks.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 28, 2013. This is my church. Newsletter article for May.). All the kids are playing it. Which is not in itself is a reason to love something, I'll give you that. But a lot of the adults are playing it too. If you've never tried Minecraft, you should probably try it right now- there's a demo at www.minecraft.net. If you're not an internet person, here's the gist of it:. There's a large world, made entirely of blocks. You get to run around in it, and build things out of blocks. And the mechan...

Sunday, February 09, 2014. A little prayer for tonight. She is tearing up fear. And making it into blankets. She is taking your. Pain and forging it. Into an iron cup. For the carrying of. Blessed be god forever. Rachael set this to music will you. Fourth Corners: A Villanelle from the Middle School Confirmation Retreat about the Sacraments. The bread, the font, the moon, the tree. Fully hidden, fully known. The son of love has come to free. Death dismayed and terror flees. Queer enough for you and me,.

some folks: The Man Carrying Water

http://somefolks.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-man-carrying-water.html

Saturday, May 10, 2014. The Man Carrying Water. A friend of mine asked me to submit an article for a devotional booklet he's putting together for our region. He had heard me talk about a sermon of mine, and thought it might be worth adapting/writing up. Here it is. I think of him every Holy Week. The guy they follow. Perhaps Jesus could’ve just as easily said “follow the man in the red hat,” or “follow the woman carrying grapes.”. It was women’s work, and rigidly assigned to women in that culture. Where ...

some folks: October 2012

http://somefolks.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 16, 2012. I was listening to a great episode of RadioLab the other day, and they were talking about the occupation of "resurrectionist" that sprang up with the invention of modern medical schools. Basically, the schools needed cadavers and somebody had to go and dig them up- rich people got fancy triple-layered-and-locked "resurrectionist-proof" caskets, but the paupers' fields were more, well, accessible. Riots ensued. Up all night, we toil, not understanding. Dead we can work with.

some folks: look, it takes some of us a while to type up our ash wednesday poems

http://somefolks.blogspot.com/2014/03/look-it-takes-some-of-us-while-to-type.html

Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Look, it takes some of us a while to type up our ash wednesday poems. There at the gym, we have ashes on our foreheads. Not all of us. or most of us. but some of us. And some of us have just a grey smudge on our foreheads,. Forgotten, maybe, and certainly faint enough that i have to look twice,. Secretly, to see who's wearing ashes. How could there be so many? Maybe a dozen in my fluorescent suburban gym. People wearing ashes, people claimed by God. When snow is falling yet again,.
