A Midwestern Girl in a California World: April 2008
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Sunday, April 6, 2008. One of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. Posted by Rev. Anne. Friday, April 4, 2008. I feel like I helped someone today. I know that I helped someone today. His name is Justine, and he’s a good 17 year-old kid. Manically and frantically moving from one thought to the other, he threw rhymes at me for over an hour about justice, about not being heard, and about being disrespected. He’s really very angry. I saw the staff person over his s...

A Midwestern Girl in a California World: Thankfulness, In Perspective
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2008/07/thankfulness-in-perspective.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Saturday, July 12, 2008. Thankfulness, In Perspective. A man decided to die today. He is not, by many standards, a remarkable man. In his 60s, he looks to be in his 80s. He is rough and grizzled from being HIV positive and homeless in San Francisco. He is too weak to speak very clearly, or loudly, or for very long. He asked me to help him write a letter to his family. It began, “I sit here, unsure of what the eternity of morning will bring.”. He talked of chances ...

A Midwestern Girl in a California World: August 2007
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Wednesday, August 8, 2007. I just cut and pasted this from the colorofchange.org website. Even if you don't go online to sign the petition, I highly recommend informing yourself. This is a terrible situation and has gotten very little media coverage. The more outraged the wider world becomes, the less people can get away with stuff like this. Http:/ www.colorofchange.org/jena/? Http:/ www.colorofchange.org/jena/?

A Midwestern Girl in a California World: September 2007
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Friday, September 14, 2007. Observations From a Hospital. I wrote the following while on a 15 minute break at the hospital where I'm working as a chaplain. I was sitting outside on a veranda, overlooking the city, and the following just came to me. You know what the most spectacular thing was? God was also down the hall in the 87 year-old Russian Orthodox woman who couldn't speak, who labored through every breath, but whose breath calmed and slowed the longer I sa...

A Midwestern Girl in a California World: Ten Feet In Either Direction and We'd Be Friends
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2008/10/ten-feet-in-either-direction-and-wed-be.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Monday, October 27, 2008. Ten Feet In Either Direction and We'd Be Friends. This is the sermon I delivered on October 26th, 2008 at my church. She got straight ‘A’s, I hope you follow in her footsteps! I’ve also found that this lesson transfers to other relationships as well. Even when I believe that someone is totally different from myself, I often have more in common with them than I realize, or than I want to admit. Ultimately, the abolitionists won in Kansas&#...

A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Sunday, September 21, 2008. A Call To Worship. This is the call to worship I wrote for today's church service, which was about forthrightness and truth telling. As we enter into worship, may we be loving towards ourselves, and towards each other, ever mindful of the myriad of ways in which we are connected. May we be wise, and think through our actions, conscious of how our actions affect not just ourselves, but our church, our families, our communities, our planet.

A Midwestern Girl in a California World: Resiliency
http://revaeg.blogspot.com/2008/07/resiliency.html
A Midwestern Girl in a California World. Friday, July 18, 2008. I met “Jeffrey,” an African American Baptist man in his mid 60s, on the Skilled Nursing Facility floor one grey, San Francisco afternoon in January. Jeffrey had come to the hospital because of complications from diabetes. His blood sugar level had been rising and falling too quickly, the wound from his leg amputation below the knee was not healing well, and he had just gone completely blind in one eye. Posted by Rev. Anne.
