UU Jester's Journal: "Hope and Fear: Cousins in Conflict" - Prologue
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2007/06/hope-and-fear-cousins-in-conflict.html
Friday, June 15, 2007. Hope and Fear: Cousins in Conflict" - Prologue. 8220;Hope and Fear: Cousins in Conflict”. And actually, more demanding. J Ruth Gendler's Book of Qualities. One of my favorite texts for worship planning. I highly reccomend it for everyone's personal library.). Rabbi Michael Lerner's The Left Hand of God. Another good book. I hope some of the candidates for the next presidential election have read it. Heck, I hope our next president actually reads books. She is easily overlooked.

UU Jester's Journal: New Court, New Jester
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-court-new-jester.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. New Court, New Jester. The stage is empty for eight months. That is truly a pathetic showing- or non-showing, I guess- even for the regularly irregular jester. My apologies to the court. The UU-Jester has been a bit busy, what with being voted out of the castle and all. But, have no fear. Like any good jester, like all the traditional tricksters, I have landed on my feet in a place where I really wanted to be. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Because only a fool would speak th...

UU Jester's Journal: More Powerful Words
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2007/02/more-powerful-words.html
Monday, February 05, 2007. Riddle me this: When is a church not a church? A fair question, it seems. I am currently a minister at a society. But rarely do I hear people saying on Sunday morning, "I'm going to society (or to the society.)". Most of them say, "I'm going to church.". And in our newsletter style sheet, the standard is to refer to this congregation as First Church. A nod to the problematic length of The First Unitarian Society, I suppose.). I try desperately to resist this First Church label.

UU Jester's Journal: The Motley Garb - A Fool's Fashion
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2006/07/motley-garb-fools-fashion.html
Monday, July 03, 2006. The Motley Garb - A Fool's Fashion. A few thoughts on fashion, personal style, and vocation. Once one leaves high school (or perhaps the cliques of college), there just aren't many people willing to tell you what fashion is best suited for you. (Barring, of course, GQ, Cosmo, Mr. Blackstone, Ms. Rivers, those four clowns/slanderers on Bravo. And the entire staff of the Style network.) Even moreso for those of us in the more specialized, rarified public vocations. Who but a fool wou...

UU Jester's Journal: A Faithful Conversation on Evil
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2008/07/faithful-conversation-on-evil.html
Monday, July 07, 2008. A Faithful Conversation on Evil. I'm getting ready for this weekend's sermon. It is part two in a sermon series I'm doing over the summer. The title is "A Faithful Conversation on Evil". Nothing like the word "evil" to get people's attention, eh? Wanna know a secret? It isn't really about evil. Oh, we'll be talking about evil. Yes, I said "we." I'll be preaching with my friend and colleague, Lori Hlaban. Anyway, we'll be having a conversation on evil in the pulpit. How cool is that?

UU Jester's Journal: A Conversation at Court
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2008/07/conversation-at-court.html
Tuesday, July 08, 2008. A Conversation at Court. Court Leech: You know, fool, telling the truth isn't always the right thing to do. Court Jester: How say you this? Court Leech: Sometimes telling the truth be not in your best interest. Court Jester: Too true, too true. But being a fool, I exist for those times. Court Leech: Perhaps. Sometimes, telling the truth isn't in their best interest either. Court Jester: And how is one to know those times? Court Leech: There is rarely any knowing about it. Discover...

UU Jester's Journal: Unplanned Absence
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2007/09/unplanned-absence.html
Monday, September 10, 2007. The few regular readers I have out there were probably not surprised by my recent absence. I'm not as regular a poster as I'd like to be or as I ought to be. But this time, the absence wasn't by choice. It was imposed on me by Blogger powers that be. For some reason, they identified this blog as a "spam site". Must have been the unusual levels of activity.). Anyway, after a month and repeated requests- UU-Jester has been found innocent of said charges and is back on-line.

UU Jester's Journal: The Power Inbetween
http://uu-jester.blogspot.com/2007/07/power-inbetween.html
Sunday, July 08, 2007. I woke up and rewrote a few pages of that morning's sermon. My wife asked me, "How's the sermon.". I replied, "Eh. I don't know. It is what it is. Bumbaugh. Would mark it up.". She gave me an encouraging smile and said, "I'm sure it'll be all right.". I gave her a small smile in return, collected a good-bye kiss, and headed to church. I rewrote a few paragraphs when I got there. I also paused to look at the "prayer" hanging on my office bulletin board,. Written by David Bumbaugh.
