Come, Be My Light: On Preaching

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2012/07/on-preaching.html

Come, Be My Light. Monday, July 2, 2012. I smell like coffee. Which make sense when I pause and reflect on how much I've consumed the past few hours. I'm writing a sermon to be preached this coming Sunday. And I'm attempting way too much in it. Sermons always stress me out. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ joebautista.blogspot.com/.

Come, Be My Light: January 2012

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Come, Be My Light. Saturday, January 7, 2012. On being “called”. It seems premature to write how excited I am to (finally) be in CPE. I mean, we haven’t even seen any patients yet! But the exhaustion I felt prior to the first day was quickly replaced by feelings of happiness, gratitude and anticipation. Ever since my initial chaplaincy experience at Huntington in 2006, I began to think that chaplaincy was where I fit best, and I remember leaving my working days at Huntington invigorated, not depleted.

Come, Be My Light: February 2012

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Come, Be My Light. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. The Battle of the Bulge. I have been especially aware of the extra weight my body carries around each day. And once again, I've begun exerting great(er) effort at eating less (and more "clean") food. It is damn hard. I've known about the phenomenon about the role one's brain plays in such a process, but reading about it again gave me comfort. It will be hard, because it is hard. The Power of Habit. Links to this post. Saturday, February 11, 2012. A belief in...

Come, Be My Light: March 2011

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Come, Be My Light. Saturday, March 5, 2011. Rant against the medical system. Writing this paper has reminded me once more that I just don't understand Western medicine. The medical field treats the body in a purely modern way - where functions and disease in the body can be reduced to mere law-based science. Yet, doesn't metaphysics and quantum theory reveal that our bodies are much more complex? What happened to our common sense? Links to this post. Friday, March 4, 2011. Perhaps that is why I find myse...

Come, Be My Light

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2012/02/on-faith-for-past-few-years-i-did-not.html

Come, Be My Light. Saturday, February 11, 2012. For the past few years, I did not and could. A fellow CPE peer recently asked me during one of our group times: “What would God have to do to make me believe? 8221; At the time, I didn’t know what to say. I had asked myself a similar question numerous times. Would a miracle produce belief in me? I doubted it. I would probably just rationalize it away. But his question stayed with me. What prompted my response of faith.and my temptation to flee? And why on e...

Come, Be My Light: grope? or no grope?

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2012/03/grope-or-no-grope.html

Come, Be My Light. Monday, March 19, 2012. I am also one who opts for the "grope". But I hadn't considered her point of view. And now I want to be groped more than ever!

Come, Be My Light: May 2011

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Come, Be My Light. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. My lack of faith has proven difficult on a new level. I do not know where to turn to - or who to turn to - when I want to be comforted with hope. On the way to the library today, I was listening to NPR's AirTalk broadcast today (http:/ www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/2011/05/31/red-market/). In which Larry Mantle interviewed Scott Carney about his book The Red Market: On the Trail of the World’s Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers.

Come, Be My Light: June 2011

http://glorybautista.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Come, Be My Light. Thursday, June 2, 2011. I'm with Captain Cutshaw. Taking the bus has its benefits. For one, my husband and I can have an uninterrupted time of talking, which is rare with an almost two-year-old. Colonel Kane: You're convinced that God is dead because there's evil in the world. Colonel Kane: Then why don't you think he's alive because of the goodness in the world? Some would say, "Oh, it'll be redeemed in the after-life". Still, to me, that doesn't seem fair of God. Until then, I have t...
