A Shining and Affirmative Thing. I was going to share an old post today because I haven’t had much time to prepare one, but then last night I had the pleasure of reading G.K. Chesterton’s essay A Piece of Chalk. Every once in a while as an English major, I get to read some really great and beautiful things. In the essay, Chesterton is drawing with colored chalk on brown paper, which he says makes one realize that white is a color. For the rest of this post, join me again at Together at the Table. I need ...

Unfathomable God | Scatterthought
https://annethoughts.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/unfathomable-god
Theologians offer explanations for this violence. The people destroyed by Israel were corrupt, they say. We all deserve the same death, they say. If we’ve forgotten that, we’ve forgotten the gospel. I can’t argue with them, but I’m still uneasy. It doesn’t seem like God gives everyone the same chance. How can people be held responsible for the cultures they are born in, for the things they are raised to believe? If you’re interested, I thought this was perhaps the best explanation. 8220; Religion in our ...

I’m bad at church (but that’s okay). | Scatterthought
https://annethoughts.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/im-bad-at-church-but-thats-okay
I’m bad at church (but that’s okay). I’ve been trying for a long time to write a post about church, but I’ve had a difficult time sorting out what I want to say. I was at a service of my college ministry a couple months ago when I realized that I don’t trust people at my church very easily, even though I’ve been going almost four years. Simply put, I’m bad at church. I like to think I’m getting better, but some days I slip into cynical teenager mode. This entry was posted in Thoughts. March 27, 2015.

Author Archives: Anne Easker. Then in the news I hear of all the ways and places the world has split open to bleed. Our black brothers killed, attacks on police, Baghdad bombed, crowds mowed down by a truck in Nice. Bloody summer once again. What can I do? My daily routine is shabby at best. But the world has always been bleeding. I think of Jesus calling his disciples, who followed half in disbelief and fear. Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man! He cried out, falling at Jesus’ feet. They walked...

Everyday Sacred | Scatterthought
https://annethoughts.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/everyday-sacred
I recently finished reading Rob Bell’s book. What We Talk About When We Talk About God. I know a lot of Christians in the conservative/evangelical community think Bell has sketchy theology. That’s fine. I don’t think you need to agree with everything someone says to learn from their ideas. Jesus came to earth to be a man. He was born in a stable. He is called Immanuel. Not just at church or in a temple, but at weddings and beside wells, in boats on stormy seas and in funeral processions. February 18, 2015.
