Thoughts and Reflections: January 2011

http://dancingrev-thoughtsandreflections.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Wednesday, January 19, 2011. A Tribute to Rusty. This sadness and sorrow and loss that we feel is painful and it hurts but it is also an incredible gift that shows us the depth and truth of the love we share with one another and the love we shared with our beloved pet. May it be so. Labels: pets; death; grief; healing; hope. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Pastoral Prayer for Those Doubting Their Call.

Thoughts and Reflections: Starting to sink in...

http://dancingrev-thoughtsandreflections.blogspot.com/2010/04/starting-to-sink-in.html

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Starting to sink in. So, while you will not hear from me after the end of May because I do not plan to continue with this blog while I'm on sabbatical (I'll return in September with lots of new material) you can imagine me starting each day in this way and giving thanks to God and to the Madison Christian Community for the privilege and opportunity to do so. I can't wait! View my complete profile.

Thoughts and Reflections: December 2010

http://dancingrev-thoughtsandreflections.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Friday, December 3, 2010. Something New, Take 2. One of the things I appreciate the most about the congregation I serve, Community of Hope, UCC. This one example of sharing the responsibility for decorating our sanctuary with the entire congregation is something I have begun thinking about in terms of most other areas of church life. How can we do the same when it comes to our mission commitments, church administration and gov...

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Here is my sermon from Sunday, October 18. The text was Psalm 91. Enjoy. Seth Donovan was one of the speakers. She’s a community organizer by profession and a member of an ELCA Mission congregation in Denver, CO called House for All Sinners and Saints.

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Let the Whole Creation Cry. In chapter 1 Joel describes a plague of locusts that had come and devastated the people and the land with these words:. 8220;Listen to this you Elders, pay attention, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this ever happened in your day, or in the days of your ancestors? Vast and countless, a horde has invaded my land! Flashing like the teeth of a lion, like the...

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Sunday, December 27, 2009. The Gift of Love - Christmas Eve. About 15 minutes into the beginning of our Winter Solstice worship service I noticed a man and a woman I didn’t recognize standing outside the sanctuary looking in. I worried that they were hesitating to come in because we’d already started so I decided to go out to greet them and make sure they knew they were welcome to join in the service. These were certainly possibil...
