It's not just about the camel dance: November 2009
http://revamy.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. You Do Not Know Where It Blows. The moderator of the PC(USA) just posted this link. On his facebook page. Very theologically worthwhile. or something. :). As you read this I’m enjoying so rest and relaxation with family and friends in Chicago and Madison, WI (or at least when I wrote this and originally sent it out in the newsletter, I was! In this story, instead of domination we know service and love; instead of accumulation we know about ...

It's not just about the camel dance: July 2010
http://revamy.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Saturday, July 31, 2010. So close to home, yet so far away. During the trip my car listened to a rather depressing book on cd while the other van sang silly songs and had a contest that, well, let’s just say the beans at Taco Bell probably helped. I think even with the depressing book I had the better driving deal. . We have arrived safe and sound in Indianapolis and are staying at Second Presbyterian Church here. . We played and talked with kids. Of course, we also...

http://revamy.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Saturday, November 13, 2010. You know those old adages, “nothing worth having comes easy or free” or “anything worth having is worth working for? You better believe I figured out that homework and brought home As in math throughout my academic career. Family, friends, marriages, careers, kids – all of these require hard work and they are worth it. And then there’s the kingdom of God. And that’s not even the hardest part. 8220;Joy to the world, the Lord is come, but th...

It's not just about the camel dance: May 2011
http://revamy.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Sunday, May 15, 2011. Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Texts: Isaiah 56:1-8; Acts 2:42-47. This little moment on my walk was a good reminder that many things depend on how you look at them. Duck or rabbit in that popular optical illusion; glass half empty, half full; half way there or half way to go. How we encounter the world – from symbols to attitudes – oft depends on how we choose to look at that world. And yet, look at them. Different as they may have been, the...

It's not just about the camel dance. Sunday, May 30, 2010. Texts: Proverbs 8:1-6, 22-31; John 12:44-46. If you’ve ever gone through elder training here at Covenant, you’ve probably been exposed to John’s use of geometry to illuminate the subject. Or if you’ve gone through a confirmation class with me, you would have had the excitement of learning about the Trinity through the hands-on metaphor of Aquafresh toothpaste… give that one awhile to sink in. Wisdom is more than just a guidepost to good living, a...

It's not just about the camel dance: December 2009
http://revamy.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Saturday, December 26, 2009. After something of an adventure I have arrived safe and sound in The Woodlands. My family all arrived before me and so when I got to the house where we are staying, they were already in full Summers-Minette swing. Raucous laughter, heated political debates, and (of course) delicious food were all waiting for me. I do love my family. . Saturday, December 19, 2009. The Great Snow of Saturday. Praise the Lord for good friends! A lot a lot.

It's not just about the camel dance: Relay for Life and then some
http://revamy.blogspot.com/2011/03/relay-for-life-and-then-some.html
It's not just about the camel dance. Saturday, March 19, 2011. Relay for Life and then some. I’m sitting in the middle of a group o high schoolers as I type this. We’ve gathered in the cool evening to walk around in circles. Yup, Relay for Life has come to Mary Baldwin and the Covenant youth are showing their support. As we’re gathered, eating pizza and talking over deep thoughts from “why do tootsie pop wrappers have stars” to “what was before God” I ask them a question. 8220;Why are you here? If you...
