a work in progress: yellow goo
http://jasonhobbs.blogspot.com/2014/05/yellow-goo.html
A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. And to that I say, “May the fourth be with you . . . .” And because we are in an Episcopal church you respond by saying, . . . “And also with you! Personally, I prefer Emily Dickinson to George Lucas. “Tell all the truth but tell it slant . . . .” she writes. Dickinson writes that “the truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind.”. But instead was a science program called Radiolab. And maybe we should already k...

a work in progress: fences
http://jasonhobbs.blogspot.com/2016/06/fences.html
A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. So, I used to think that my father could fix anything. And then there was the electric fence. That one could be fun if you had a friend over that didn’t know about electric fences. You see, fear is the enemy of community. But this is not God’s way. In our anger, in our hurt, in our loss, in our fear . . . we are not alone. You are not alone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Warner Robins, Georgia, United States.

a work in progress: ashes

A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. Matthew 6:1-21, "Beware of practicing your piety before others . . .". Joel 2:1-18, "Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart . . .". So today we begin this season of Lent. We hear scriptures tell us, “Return again to the Lord, tear not your clothing (a sign of mourning), but tear your hearts! Their job was to empty themselves, so that they could be filled. You see, sometimes we have to prepare t...

a work in progress: wire fence
http://jasonhobbs.blogspot.com/2015/11/wire-fence.html
A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. We are entering a holy time, this season of Advent. And in opposition to the way that Christmas started the day after Halloween for the retail season, we have a tradition that is more about anticipation, quiet, and introspection. For us, this is not a season of insistent, loud commercialism. The wires are holding hands around the holes;. To avoid breaking the ring, they hold tight the neighboring wrist,. There are so...

A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. Luke 23:42, "The [the thief] said, 'Jesus, remember me . . .'". There were two thieves hanging there beside Jesus as Luke tells the story. And Luke is the only one that tells this part of the story. One hanging on one side, one on the other, two who had committed crimes that were to be punished that day. The Romans believed it to be a deterrent. These two thieves who hung on either side of Jesus. We read a passage ab...

a work in progress: kingdomtide

A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. 8220; Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. 8221; wrote George Gershwin, placing those words in the mouth of an African American woman, living in poverty, singing these words to a child. These tune presents as a sort of lullaby, but lumbers along more like a dirge. The words themselves sound as if they were meant for a white child in the arms of their “mammy.” Yet this character, Clara. Is it an expected heaven? This &...

a work in progress: wandering
http://jasonhobbs.blogspot.com/2015/02/wandering.html
A work in progress. Learning together through our relationships with God and each other. For Saturday after Ash Wednesday. Where am I going? Why am I here? Is there a purpose or meaning in all this wandering? So then the wandering that had caused so much pain, so much dislocation of place and spirit, the wandering becomes a call in itself. The wandering is what we may be called to. Writes about Psalm 119. There’s a children’s book that I read often to children who feel like strangers, A Color...So I wand...
