http://abirdinthehand.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
A BIRD IN THE HAND. A byrde yn honde ys better than three yn the wode." [c.1530]. Thursday, August 09, 2007. In fond memory of Bob. My father-in-law passed away this morning. I really liked Bob and I am going to miss him. Life is short. Enjoy it. For time to play. For time to work. For time to read, learn, and inwardly digest. Thank you for smiles. Thank you for life.

Presbymom: December 2013
http://presbymom.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. How do we marinate in the incarnation? The author of Hebrews summarizes well what the incarnation means by weaving together pictures/images of who Jesus was and is:. But that is far from all: Christ shatters the biggest fear - hold of death on us. We tend to be ruled by this greatest of fears, what happens after? Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Christmas Eve Sermon on Luke 2:1-20. Rachel Held Evans notes that perhaps leaving Christ out may not be such a bad thing! Yes, I find it c...

Presbymom: June 2013
http://presbymom.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Left Behind - I Don't Think So! What a ridiculous tale of demons asking to be thrust into pigs? How can we possibly relate to this scripture in modern times? But setting that aside, the most pressing issue for me here is the value of the individual. Jesus doesn't turn aside from this man who has been left naked and chained in the tombs. He had basically been left for dead by the community. If that doesn't define unclean and misunderstood, I don't know what does. Look at ...We th...

"The greatest thing we'll ever learn, is just to love.": May 2011
http://desertwindsyav.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The greatest thing we'll ever learn, is just to love.". Sunday, May 29, 2011. My first full length sermon. This is the script of the sermon I preached today at Faith Presbyterian Church in Sierra Vista, AZ. The reading was from Philipians 2:1-11, 14. 8220;do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself.”. Humility- I’m working on it. It’s the journey, not the destination-right? When I first spoke with Brandon, the site coordinator for Tucson YAV pr...

Monday, November 23, 2009. 25:1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 25:2 O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me. 25:3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. 25:4 Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. Time Out of Joint.

A BIRD IN THE HAND: You know... the quick (dance, dance, dance) & the dead

A BIRD IN THE HAND. A byrde yn honde ys better than three yn the wode." [c.1530]. Sunday, February 03, 2008. You know. the quick (dance, dance, dance) and the dead. It being transfiguration Sunday, I wonder if Stan's black guayabera is now a dazzling white. The following is offered in memory of Stanley Robertson Hall:. The Eucharist as Sacrifice. The language of sacrifice has been used through the centuries in an attempt to express a truth at the heart of Eucharistic practice. To understand how we view t...

Presbymom: Season of Epiphanies
http://presbymom.blogspot.com/2015/01/season-of-epiphanies.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Where do we see Jesus in our lives? Or as Karoline Lewis put it in her. Article, maybe it isn't about us discovering God but about God discovering us. I think maybe that could be taken further to say God helping us discover ourselves first. We have mostly put away our Christmas decorations, and in this season, some are still hanging on working to have God being more fully in their lives this year. How do we live up to resolutions and try to be better? We are a confused and we...

Presbymom: October 2013
http://presbymom.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. O Ye, of Little Faith. Following a passage where they are brought to task to rebuke those who sin, and then to forgive them if they repent. Okay - but then how often? We are admonished that 7 times a day isn't too much. C'mon isn't that bit much? Even the apostles must have thought so because that is where verse 5 begins. 'Add faith to us' ask the apostles - if you expect THIS of us. And that faith is enough. So we are left thinking that we aren't powerful enough, and Jesus im...

Presbymom: On the Way to Dinner
http://presbymom.blogspot.com/2014/04/on-way-to-dinner.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. On the Way to Dinner. Palm Sunday is a wonderful/horrible day. How are we to preach this text when it is a very typical best of times and worst of times? We celebrate Jesus riding on a donkey and being welcomed by the crowds and then quickly turn to a gruesome betrayal. Weird as it may sound, this reminds me greatly of my experience this past weekend. I attended a junior high youth conference. How in the world you might ask does this relate to Palm Sunday? Don't get me wrong, thos...
