http://bibfeldtinquiry.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Monday, October 23, 2006. When I moved back here in 2003 David and I ran into each other again. His life had hit bottom a few years earlier when he was shot nearly in the exact spot that our home now stands on. After that he began, slowly, to put the pieces of his life back together. It's been a new beginning in fits and starts. Posted by Mike Mather at 10:14 PM. Sunday, October 22, 2006. He will tell you what he thinks of something. He loves to tell a story - ei...

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Sunday, April 30, 2006. Education - Building Up One Another in Love. Later in the afternoon I headed off with De'Amon to hear our friend Dave Labrum out at the St. Vincent Hospice talk about his new book - and tell the stories of some folks he has worked with that have used art in the healing process of dealing with the grief of the deaths of in many cases their children and in a few others, their spouses.

bibfeldt's inquiry: May 2006

http://bibfeldtinquiry.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Monday, May 29, 2006. Ever since I was a child I have heard about "the fear of God." The fear of God I was told was the beginning of wisdom. But what does that mean? And how does it connect with we live out our lives as followers of Jesus Christ? In his book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. CSLewis throws some light on the way I think of this. Lucy is about to meet Aslan, the lion (the Christ figure in the story), and she asks, "Is- is he a man? Of course he is...

bibfeldt's inquiry: September 2006

http://bibfeldtinquiry.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Wednesday, September 13, 2006. A Bar, A Park, and a Neighborhood. What does Broadway think? What do I think? Those are the questions that have been asked of me lately as the pastor of Broadway UMC. People want to know about what Broadway thinks about the bar that is coming in to the Julia Carson building. And I've been frustrated that people ask me this question. Why am I frustrated? Posted by Mike Mather at 6:31 AM. Tuesday, September 12, 2006. A Team of Rivals.

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Friday, July 21, 2006. Every week I come across interesting things in my reading. I thought I'd share a few of them here. The author of these words? The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried. Posted by Mike Mather at 9:01 AM. Monday, July 10, 2006. Where's the New Territory? Maybe it's the Old Territory? Dear Bishop Coyner,. I just wanted to offer a few words in response to your comments. I have yet to see ...

http://bibfeldtinquiry.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Thursday, December 21, 2006. Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming. The lyrics to this beautiful (to my ears) hymn are:. Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming. From tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming. As men of old have sung. It came, a flow'ret bright,. Amid the cold of winter. When half spent was the light. Isaiah 'twas foretold it. The rose I have in mind,. With Mary we behold it,. The Virgin Mother kind. To show God's love aright,. She bore to men a Saviour,. Satur...

My friend, Seana Murphy, wrote me last night in response to the words in yesterday's posting. Here is what she said:. I too experience existential agony over the deaths of those named to us. Through relationship and half hearted media and those unnamed to us and. The demanding question of the cross-the scriptures-what are we called to. What are we called to freaking do? Hurt like...

Random thoughts and rambling musings. Friday, June 30, 2006. Sometimes as we drove through Pennsylvania, D.C., Maryland, New Jersey, and Ohio, we would hear them erupt in giggles that could not be stopped. Both Paul and Jordan seem to live in their own worlds. And yet are a part of this larger world we all share. I have more than a thing or two to learn from them I think. Posted by Mike Mather at 8:39 PM. Wednesday, June 28, 2006.
