Libby's Reflections: January Dreaming
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2009/01/january-dreaming.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. It's been a while since I've posted on this blog. The busy days of December gave way to a bit of January duldrums that I've been trying to shake off. And then, suddenly, it was January 20, 2009. When Barack Obama raised his hand, swore a solemn oath and became the 44th president of this country, we grew up a bit. His presidency speaks to me of our ability to act on hope instead of fear and to call upon our better natures as members of the human collective.

Libby's Reflections: An Advent Prayer
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2008/11/advent-prayer.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. November 30 is the first Sunday of Advent. In the liturgical year, or the church year, Advent is a time of watching and waiting, a time of hope, of expectation and preparation. It is getting ready for the coming of the Christ, the miracle of God’s presence with us, among us, within us. In this Advent time of watching and waiting, may we be newly aware of all of the possibilities that exist for us in this life: the ability to love and to be loved, the opportunities for forgive...

Libby's Reflections: I Thank You for Those Things that Are Yet Possible
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-thank-you-for-those-things-that-are.html
Saturday, February 21, 2009. I Thank You for Those Things that Are Yet Possible. Ted Loder is a retired United Methodist minister. He's written several books of poems, prayers and reflections. His use of language, his grappling, and his honesty all resonate deeply with me. Last Sunday I used a portion of one of Loder's poems in a memorial service that truly was a wonderful celebration of life. It is entitled "I Thank You for Those Things that Are Yet Possilble," and it's from his book,. For everything th...

Libby's Reflections: October 2008
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2008. The Last Tomatoes of the Summer. I enjoy the change – cooler mornings and evenings, shorter days, leaves turning to gold, then brown, and then falling from their trees. Before long, we’ll be pulling jackets out of the closet, with full knowledge that a few short months from now, we’ll be putting them away again, as the days once again will grow longer. Posted by The Reverend Libby Tigner. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. I noticed on some of the reviews following the presidential de...

Libby's Reflections: June 2008
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Same Sex Marriage - What is Missing from the Conversation. Coverage on this issue, as I have read it, often mentions religious groups and religious leaders who do not support same-sex marriage and who will be working to ban it by supporting the Limit on Marriage initiative. What I have not seen in the media is information about the strong support in favor of equal marriage rights that exists amongst religious groups and leaders. Posted by The Reverend Libby Tigner.

Libby's Reflections: December 2008
http://libbysreflections.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 5, 2008. The liturgical year is a great thing. As someone who grew up in a church that did not observe the church seasons, I was used to moving directly from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Throughout all of December, we sang Christmas carols and focused on the joy of the birth of a baby, God’s own child. What are my hopes and dreams? Am I at peace with myself and with others? How and where I find joy? Posted by The Reverend Libby Tigner. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Reverend Libby Tigner.
