AmenAbility: March 2015
http://amenability.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. Coloring as Spiritual Practice. This morning the kids shared another Children's Ministry Moment in worship - a group speech followed by passing around baskets of crayons to everyone in the pews. We also included the image below as an insert in the bulletin with the heading:. MEDITATE. CREATE. LET YOUR SPIRIT PLAY. This Lent, we tried different spiritual practices. But our favorite spiritual practice is the one that came most naturally to us: coloring! Links to this post. Roman Cat...

Remind you if you knew and just forgot the facts. In the fleeting moment you were asked. To make a color judgment). That is too strong. See the child,. The 3rd ...

AmenAbility: May 2014
http://amenability.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2014. I had a realization of my own after the goodbye-themed inter-generational Bible study I led at church the other night. In a time of lifting up loved ones who have passed on or moved away, I named my grandfather (my eulogy for him is posted here. And I explained that I called him Grandsprout. Because he called me Sprout. It was not only the loss of a beloved person but also the end of a relationship, of all the relationships he had with his family and friends. So it's only fitting t...

AmenAbility: God Is the Child in the Backseat of the Car
http://amenability.blogspot.com/2015/02/god-is-child-in-backseat-of-car.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. God Is the Child in the Backseat of the Car. When I first met Frog Girl, she was old enough to be in Girl Scouts and young enough to need to ride in the backseat of the car. As we drove, we talked. At times I lived vicariously through her, seeing the world anew through her eyes as she navigated school and extracurriculars and a family and a social life.
