From April 6, 2008 service at the Unitarian Church. It was a service entitled This I Believe, based on the NPR program. I shared my statement, at least my statement for today! I believe in jazz. Structure and improv. Call and response. I believe in healing. I have seen it so often among many of you, in my own life. I believe, m...

Progress Quad Cities: December 2008

http://progressqc.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Progressive faith and progressive politics in the Quad Cities, (Davenport, IA). Faith, politics, theology, social justice, peace, Davenport election issues. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. My latest newsletter column. I’ve often said that, for me, music is akin to church. Music is exhilarating. Music is renewing. Music can make me weep. Music gives me hope. Music hits a place deep in my bones. Life in community, with its blessings and its speed bumps. They were vessels of powerful grace, each in the sanctu...

J World: February 2015

http://jwoworld.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

From the mind of Jay. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. You Cant Always Get What You Want. Video that was showed- https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? In our modern culture I mostly I hear “what are you giving up for Lent.” It is supposed to be something that you desire, so that we will reflect on what really has meaning to us. Twitter has actually summarized the top 100 items that people have posted they are giving up for Lent. The top ten are. 10 Coffee (this only applies to non fair trade coffee). 8220;the need...

J World: July 2015

http://jwoworld.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

From the mind of Jay. Friday, July 31, 2015. Meannderings on Retreat - What day is it? After 4 days of meditating, reading, reflecting and writing it is easy to lose track of time. And yet although I lose track of time, or maybe because of it, I find myself. In the opening session of the program “Great Courage and Great Compassion, Living Dying and Freedom” we were asked the question “When have you turned away from life? How did it help you, how did it hurt you? Thursday, July 30, 2015. I am not sure wha...

J World: Black Lives Matter

http://jwoworld.blogspot.com/2015/06/black-lives-matter.html

From the mind of Jay. Friday, June 19, 2015. Reading - Fannon Holland – "Forgive me If I do not believe you". Forgive me if I do not believe you. Forgive me if I do not believe you when you say all lives matter. Founding fathers fled Europe in conflict. Landed and settled in conflict. Pushed their violent notion of democracy all the way to the Pacific Ocean. So forgive me if I do not believe you. When sports fans use violence to riot after hockey games. When police use violence to snap a man’s neck.

J World: Meanderings on Retreat - "Train Train Running All Night Long"

http://jwoworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/meanderings-on-retreat-nd-train-train.html

From the mind of Jay. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Meanderings on Retreat - "Train Train Running All Night Long". The diversity and openness of people on the train reminds me of how people can be in community. When we come together all of us different, we find a way to be together in harmony. It is when we separate ourselves into our enclaves and limit our interactions that we learn to distant ourselves from the humanity of every person. Roll on Train. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
