Hold it up to the light. The search for my future has brought me here. This is more than I’d hoped for, but sometimes I fear. That the choice I was made for will someday appear. And I’ll be too late for that flight. So hold it up – hold it up to the light. Once said that David Wilcox wrote many things that he had intended to write, which I find to be true as well. The namesake for this attempt at writing consistency is. Hold It Up to the Light. One response to “. July 1, 2011 at 4:32 pm. Up in That Delta...

A futile effort in talking about something that matters. Beck-oning for a Revolution. Posted by john.carl. 8220;You can surely tell you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” -anne lamott. My feelings toward Glenn Beck are not a secret. Any length of time spent scanning my facebook page would reveal any one of Jon Stewart, the dailykos or the Huffington Post reaming the Fox News personality for the latest black-hole-stupid thing he’s said. As I disc...

Below is the text from the sermon given today at my field ed church, Mount Pleasant UMC in Greensboro, NC. The text and theme come from a series called All for One, in which we study several “one-another” passages from the New Testament. I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,. Still another, I follow Christ. Was Paul crucified for you? Despite living in a count...

Hold it up to the light. Preaching (with) The Choir →. June 19, 2011 · 9:58 pm. I’m not sure when the Eucharist began mattering so much to me. I know growing up it did not seem to be the annoyance my age thought it to be in “big church,” but was not particularly meaningful as a child, either. Was happening in that moment and space, but was not exactly sure what. Before and after the wedding, I had been reading. My closest family, those responsible for my formation and every bit of who I am today…. Friend...

Seeing as how the majority of the content of what I write involves the connectedness or interdependence of communities and entities, specifically pertaining to the Church and Christian communities, I figured I’d share this website/video series I stumbled upon earlier today ( literally.

Hold it up to the light. Newer posts →. June 25, 2011 · 10:43 am. Preaching (with) The Choir. Every time I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to deliver a sermon, I’ve always taken compliments with a grain of salt. It’s not because I’m some kind of humble saint, unwilling to have praise heaped upon me for delivering a flawless message, but rather because it’s been in the friendly confines of my home church, campus ministry, or setting where the hearers are. To tell me what a good job I’ve done. But if ...

A futile effort in talking about something that matters. Hurting with the Hurting. Posted by john.carl. What I got was much, much different. On the hoof, I felt it was an overly callous response. What could someone, high atop his or her ivory tower in the academy, know about real pain anyway? Isn’t this just another example of people like him talking at an issue rather than speaking words of wisdom? That was all before Haiti. Could that brilliant, cranky old professor have been right? It is easy to throw...

A futile effort in talking about something that matters. War Damn Top 10. Posted by john.carl. In honor of Football Season Eve, I’ve complied a list of my Top Ten games. I was in attendance at all of these, although that had no bearing on the list. Call it coincidence. 10 Ole Miss at Auburn, September 2, 1993 : 16-12. 9 Alabama at Auburn, November 18, 1995 : 31-27. 8 Auburn at Alabama, November 22, 2004 : 21-13. 7 Alabama at Auburn, November 18, 1997 : 18-17. 5 Georgia at Auburn, November 12, 2004 : 24-6.

A futile effort in talking about something that matters. Posted by john.carl. This past Sunday, I experienced a sort of monumental shift in my life. It was essentially like any other Sunday I’ve had the past three and a half years, yet strangely different. Yes, this Sunday marked the last time I would stand in front of the Auburn Wesley Foundation’s Sunday Night Worship with my guitar, leading worship. Without a doubt, it was a bittersweet evening. A friend and mentor asked me about my last experience on...
