Coffeehouse Contemplative: July 2015 Pop Culture Roundup

http://www.coffeehousecontemplative.com/2015/07/july-2015-pop-culture-roundup.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. July 2015 Pop Culture Roundup. Five items for July. I binge-watched my way through season 3 of Orange is the New Black. I recently finished Sabbath as Resistance. I also read and enjoyed If These Walls Could Talk: Detroit Tigers. The awesomely terrible experience that was Sharknado 3. Coffeewife remains unconvinced. Anyway, they've already announced that there will be a fourth installment, so that's something to look forward to. The first original album by. Friday, July 31, 2015.

Coffeehouse Contemplative: Small Sips Is Carpet's Enemy

http://www.coffeehousecontemplative.com/2015/08/small-sips-is-carpets-enemy.html

Thursday, August 06, 2015. Small Sips Is Carpet's Enemy. Drew McIntyre offers three myths about younger clergy. I'm sure he kept it to three because he was pressed for time:. Myth #1: Young clergy = young families. In a faith community, you need to rethink if you really want young adults in your church. The High Calling, a website on the integration of faith and work for which I wrote an article earlier this year, has come to a decision about its future. So I get the principle of the decision. But th...

We're never gonna survive unless…. Tomorrow, They’ll Be Here. November 18, 2015. Over the past few months, some members of my congregation have wondered how to respond to the massive upheaval of humanity occurring in Europe. It has been made plain to us that the best way to help a Syrian family is to clear a spot in the refugee pipeline by helping a family, any refugee family, from any part of the world. Tomorrow, our faith is made manifest in our response to one family. It is a faith born out of the...

Thursday, August 13, 2015. Vintage CC: Ten Ways Theatre Prepared Me for Ministry. Coffeeson wraps up his time playing one of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan this weekend. It's his first role, and he's had a blast. It caused me to remember this post from February 2012. Where I cull ten lessons from my own theatre days that I think apply well to my current vocation. I was heavily involved in theatre in high school and college. Jan's post about being a cheerleader. Get to know your role and play it well. This wo...

Tuesday, February 07, 2012. Ten Ways Theatre Prepared Me for Ministry. I was heavily involved in theatre in high school and college. Jan's post about being a cheerleader. Inspired me to write this. Here are ten things I learned in theatre that prepared me to be a pastor. Get to know your role and play it well. No matter what size the part, you're all in this together. Bad reviews and performances happen. You're not above correction or further training. Practice, practice, practice. Jeffrey A. Nelson.

There’s No Place Like Home. January 10, 2017. January 10, 2017. By Elsa Anders Cook. Since I moved to Kansas, I find myself clicking my heels more and more. I have no ruby red slippers but the mantra is the same, “There’s no place like home. There no place like home.”. The problem is that I have no idea where home is. What brings you to Kansas? My response was equally repetitive. “My husband is in the military and it is in Kansas that he is required to be right now.”. I don’t know if other people t...
