Analog Girl: October 2012
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 20, 2012. The Year of Contextual Thinking. I'm continually surprised at how well classes fit together. In high school and middle school, I was so delighted that we studied world history at the same time as world literature in another class, U.S. history the same year as American literature. Totally different teachers! I eventually figured out they did that on purpose, and was no less delighted. Don't use too many illustrations about school or having young kids! Then comes Constantine...

Analog Girl: June 2014
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Fictive Kinship and Deep Structures. Fast forward a few months. I'm thinking about my final paper for Introduction to Christian Ethics. We can do pretty much whatever we want as long as we clear it with the professor. I think I want to write a paper about The Witch of Blackbird Pond. I start thinking of other ideas for my paper in case the professor doesn't go for it. After all, some academics don't believe in the power of chapter books. So I come up with the movie Saved! A pasto...

Analog Girl: March 2014
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Hey, this is just a link to a post I wrote on another blog, the one my seminary is doing for Lent. Http:/ upsemlentenblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/genesis-121-4/. Monday, March 17, 2014. Not really, I just thought that might get your attention. I've been thinking about "the nones." Sometime in the last couple years, polls started showing an increase in people who marked "none" under religion. Here. SOME PEOPLE AREN'T CHRISTIAN! SOME PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN RELIGIOUS! That describes a ...

Analog Girl: What We Can Learn from Church Choirs
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2015/05/what-we-can-learn-from-church-choirs.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. What We Can Learn from Church Choirs. Grade through high school (mostly chorus—don’t be too impressed), and in 9. Grade I was in the school’s choral ensemble for course credit. Then there was a lull. I kept my singing casual and private during college and for years afterward. Then I started seminary. You could get a quarter credit for singing in the choir! So what makes it happen? Why are these choirs inspiring such commitment? Committed, qualified leadership. Some people get all t...

Analog Girl: #TBT and What Church Can Be
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2015/07/tbt-and-what-church-can-be.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. TBT and What Church Can Be. At the church where I work, I found some old photo directories the other day. I had seen the 2010 one, but I didn't know that 2000, 2002, and 2006 were just a few feet from my desk this whole time! These many changes, major and minor, expected and unforeseen, are basically.life. Even someone whose pictures have not changed appreciably over the years- long married, long single, no kids, etc.- is changing, sometimes at an astonishing rate....The churc...

Analog Girl: Nuns Wearing Tutus
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2014/03/nuns-wearing-tutus.html
Monday, March 17, 2014. Not really, I just thought that might get your attention. I've been thinking about "the nones." Sometime in the last couple years, polls started showing an increase in people who marked "none" under religion. Here. S a pretty good rundown of it. People who mark other things under religion flipped and freaked. OMG! SOME PEOPLE AREN'T CHRISTIAN! SOME PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN RELIGIOUS! HOW CAN THIS BE AND WHAT ARE WE TO DO? Of people do not consider themselves religious? The churches that...

Friday, June 21, 2013. I went to see. Last night. It's a prequel to. Giving us the story of the main characters in college. It was very good.

Analog Girl: February 2015
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. I found this wonderful list. Of literary readings for Lent. The first, perhaps predictably, was T.S. Eliot's "Ash Wednesday." As a big-time Eliot fan, I had read it before, but it had been a while. And boy, what a poem. I would like to read that thing every day, and maybe I will. Spirit of the fountain, spirit of the garden,. Teach us to care and not to care. Spirit of the river, spirit of the sea,. Teach us to sit still, our peace in your will. Let us not be separated,.

Analog Girl: September 2012
http://analog-girl-blog.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. The actual subject matter. I chose my seminary mostly because of the community. It's so trite, really, but absolutely true. I felt that I could get as good an education here as at other institutions. I had a generous financial aid package (thank you! These people's eyes are so full of specks I'm surprised they can see. Why is it surprising almost every time I realize I don't have my way? It would be so much easier- for me- if people would just act the way I want them to. I hav...
