Just Enough Grace for Today: February 2011

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Do you yield, sir? Don't ask me what movie this line is from, but it probably has something to do with knights and jousting. When one knight has the other in a threatening position, the threatened knight can either choose to "yield" (cry uncle, admit defeat) or be run through. Otherwise, trust me when I say it's a more modern version of yielding under the threat of injury. I admit that I gravitate toward conte...

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Sunday, March 13, 2011. One of the rehab ladies paused and let everyone else get off the van this morning, leaving just she and I staring at one another. "Miss Tammy, did Misty talk to you? Misty is one of her peers who has recently discharged.). I replied. "Well, I want to get baptized and Misty said I should talk to you.". If you are at spirituality class tomorrow, the pastor will be there and you can talk to him about it. I was thinkin...

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Big God Smack Down. I just read 4 blog posts by a friend of ours who has taken in a foster baby. She is very playful in her writing and has inspired me to be a bit playful as well; at least in the title of this post. For me, the pivotal part of the story is when the man/God/angel of God responds to Jacob's request for a blessing with the question, "What is your name? I know some people will cluck their tongues and r...

Just Enough Grace for Today: September 2010

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Friday, September 24, 2010. And we are not saved. The focus this week in a spiritual formation class I am taking is Lectio Divinia, which is a reflective way of reading scripture for the purpose of allowing the scripture to read you. Through a process of reading, meditating, praying and contemplating, Lectio Divinia gives God access to us, that we may hear his words and truly take them into our day. The harvest is past,. We must trust eve...

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Friday, June 01, 2012. All some wonder . that's what it said . I swear. You have to know your hymns to appreciate this post . I'm just saying.). So here's what happened. I'm going to preside over a Memorial Service for the very first time on Monday. It won't actually be at the church, but at the nearby homeless shelter. Of course, I have to print up a lyrics sheet too. And that's when the Twilight Zone hit. A myriad of sites popped up.

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Tuesday, January 08, 2013. Now when the Apostles as Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the Word of God." Acts 8:14. I got very excited when I read this passage yesterday. It's this week's reading from the Revised Common Lectionary. I started to think what situations in my life are the equivalent of "Samaria accepted the word of God." I found that yesterday, when I was feeling anxious or impatient or frustrated, this little voic...

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Saturday, December 18, 2010. When God tells Moses that he is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - men whose time had come and gone when these words were spoken - did the rest of us suddenly believe that God is the God of the past? Said it to us quite clearly: “Why do you worry like the pagans do? What shall I eat? What shall I drink? What shall I wear? Can I get an "amen? Can I get a "preach it, brother? I posted on my facebook. If the C...

Just Enough Grace for Today. Processing the God stuff in my brain. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Greedy, but practical. We've been doing a study on the 7 deadly sins in my Sunday school class at church. Sinning Like A Christian. Today's sin of the week was greed. We got into some interesting discussion about what greed is really all about. I mean, if I have the means to buy just about anything, but I choose instead to buy something that is "good enough" instead of trendy and expensive, am I still greedy? States...
