Just add water and stir. Sunday, April 26, 2009. On Reading EJoye's Ordination Paper. I just finished reading my friend EJoye's ordination paper, in which she writes about her faith and understanding of history of the United Church of Christ. I am grateful for the gift she had given in writing it, and all I can figure out in response is a meditation on words as boxes - gifts and containers. I cannot capture my emotional and physical and intellectual responses here. You had to be there. If words are boxes,.

Just add water and stir. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Fear - - moral outrage.

I think it says a lot about human experience and how we've come to understand morality and fear. What triggers and justifies moral tirades - at a deeper level than simple discomfort with what is unfamiliar? Saturday, September 12, 2009. I guess at this point it seems more important to support t...

Just add water and stir. Monday, May 7, 2012. Emergent Design for nonprofits I: problem statements. For a while I've been frustrated with certain aspects of the work I do.

Just add water and stir. Saturday, November 7, 2009. A while back, a relative asked about my upcoming marriage, "Isn't that illegal? Aside from revealing some of the foundational differences between her perspective on sexuality and mine, it also made me think about the meaning of "illegal" anyway. Then last week I read an article about immigration and deportation in ColorLines magazine (http:/ colorlines.com/article.php? What exactly is illegal about undocumented workers and their families in the US?

Just add water and stir. Monday, January 25, 2010. Yesterday was a marathon of shopping - to the point that I was cranky at the end. But the end result is my partner looks stunning, and I think I'll look nice too. We need a few alterations, but we're on track for clothing. We're well on our way to mapping out the ceremony and the chapel design - as well as building our potluck reception (so many friends who are excellent cooks! Hi friend. What would you like me to bring to the potluck? Who is this guy :.

Just add water and stir. Sunday, February 14, 2010. And then I realized that beauty is practical. Without knowing a ton about botanical science, I know that the flowers are a means of survival for the trees. Not that there is only one definition of beauty, but that it is profoundly important to have beauty, joy, and love. I wondered if I was deluding myself, or being silly, trying to scratch out a life lesson from a magnolia tree. The truth is, I am. March 4, 2010 at 8:24 AM. Who is this guy :.

Just add water and stir. Thursday, May 7, 2009. State of Play (spoiler alert). I've been mulling over the movie State of Play since we saw it last weekend. There's something about newsroom dramas that hook me. Even when it's got some rather threadbare stock characters: the grizzled old-timer, the slick internet newbie, and the sarcastic and tough boss (yay Helen Mirren! That's my soapbox for today.
