The Abbey: Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes!
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/02/ch-ch-ch-changes.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes! Many of you now know, but for those of you who do not, I am going to be having a little change of scenery in the next month or so. It was announced on Sunday here at Simpson that I have been posted to the position of Sr. Pastor of Pullman Foursquare Church. This change has come as much of a surprise to me as it has to many of you. I wasn’t looking for a job and was completely taken off guard when I was asked if I would be interested in the position. Help H...

Thursday, January 7, 2010. My story pt. 4 - And the walls came uh-tumbling down. Note: For those of you who didn't quite get my two column idea - this should flesh it out a bit more. That's the trouble with posting in pieces! Please, read and respond. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences! I entered college full of life and a desire to serve God. I filled my course schedule with ministry classes and spent most of my time serving in youth groups. Instead, I was floundering. Only magnified these f...

The Abbey: My story - pt. 6, Being shaped
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-story-pt-5-being-shaped.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. My story - pt. 6, Being shaped. T he final installment of my spiritual pilgrimage. the break between this post and last is a bit rough, so you may want to re-read the the end of the last just for the flow of thought! Feel free to comment on this post, or in response to the whole story. - Jamie. The message in Deuteronomy 6, “I am One God,” is more than a call to the Israelites live and believe differently than the cultures around them. I rule over everything and when you live My.

The Abbey: Just one thing...
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/02/just-one-thing.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. So, for the last few weeks I’ve been engaged in a study of the book, “Irresistible Revolution,” by Shane Claibourn, with a few guys from church. This is a great book, and I highly recommend it – though, if you read it I would caution you, it could mess you up! This morning’s discussion was quite disturbing… in a good way. Shane was discussing the idea of following, really following, Jesus, and what that might look like. He quotes S Ø. 8220;The matter is quite simple. Christian...

The Abbey: Toasted Jesus
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/01/toasted-jesus.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. While doing some research for an upcoming message series I ran across this picture. Jesus on toast! No, this is not the latest dish du jure at a fancy-shmancy restaurant. Someone actually found the image of the Son of God on their perfectly browned, cheap white bread, breakfast, or so they believe. Which leads to the question that has been on our minds for so long: “where is God? 8221; It feels like the world is crumbling, and again: Where is God? Jesus says, “what ever yo...

The Abbey: Jesus knocks over a fence.
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/01/jesus-knocks-over-fence.html
Thursday, January 14, 2010. Jesus knocks over a fence. I find it interesting to look back at this formative event (cancer - see previous posts), now twelve years past. I see the angry and confused young man sitting in his apartment in complete spiritual devastation and feel sadness and excitement for him simultaneously. The years to come would be filled with healing, self-discovery and a foundational reimagining of Christian faith. I developed a faith that sequestered God to the clean places. As the bord...

The Abbey: Waiting...
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/03/waiting.html
Monday, March 1, 2010. The space between where we will be and where we have been is a difficult place. It’s a blank space between the lines filled with interminable waiting. I’m in that waiting place right now, between the lines of my story, one foot here and one foot there, and I can’t seem to overcome the sense of anticipation that I feel. To put it frankly and succinctly: waiting sucks. And yet, I think there is purpose to the waiting. And that growth, that shaping, cannot be hurried. Or, we can trust...

The Abbey: Walking the Labyrinth
http://theabbeyatsimpson.blogspot.com/2010/01/walking-labyrinth.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. Walking the Labyrinth…. I’m on fire! Not physically of course – how could I be typing if I was on fire? No, what I mean is, spiritually speaking,I am in a place of deep passion for, and experience of God’s presence. When it comes to God I feel… well… fiery! So, how do I account for this spiritual high/low experience; how do I reconcile the down times (which are longer, and more frequent) with this current high? But, rest assured, at the end of your journey – you will fin...
