Leaves of Life: Open My Eyes
http://revdawnleavesoflife.blogspot.com/2011/04/open-my-eyes.html
Tuesday, April 5, 2011. From our creator. Once we have a close encounter with Jesus it is unlikely that. We will ever be the same. It seems that so much of our lives we feel like aliens ourselves. We are separated and at times cut off from the love that is in God through Jesus. How many times do we have “encounters" with our own blindness and spiritual deadness? How many times are we blinded to the truth? 8217;t this happen to so many of our politicians and leaders? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Leaves of Life: September 2010
http://revdawnleavesoflife.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. The liturgy for this week is about the lost sheep. "Who wouldn't go and find a lost sheep and leave the ninety-nine others? I have to think about that for a moment. My first thought is well maybe the ninety-nine are the most important. It's only one little sheep I have ninety-nine more. However, with that attitude then, what if I loose another then another until they are all gone. What happens then? I have no sheep! From my sermon 9/12:. Or a tax collector? Jesus rejects the ...

Tuesday, August 24, 2010. An Old Experience for Growth. It was not very long after I had been briefed about the situation that a call came. “Hell-o this is Sabrina in ICU”. She proceeded to tell me the same story that I had been already briefed on. I listened to the story once again. It was just as painful to hear the second time around. 8220;We will need you to come down once the girl friend comes in. She does not know the. I watched as both parents laid their heads on their son’s chest and caress...

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Well, it's Thanksgiving time again. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise him creatures here below. I have to say that Thanksgiving is not my favorite time of year for some reason. I must try to figure out what in the world happened to make it so distasteful for me. I try now to isolate my feelings to the love that I have for God, my family and my children, and my church. However, there is something very wrong about the whole thing. Oh well enough ranting and raving ...

Leaves of Life: April 2011

Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I at times tune in to the weekly TV show called “Survivor”. Many persons already know the plot. There are people who are stranded on an island somewhere in the world. They get voted off one by one by their peers for various reasons. This TV show is not that far off from what our life is like in this world. We all must be redeemed for our sins from the legacy we inherited from the first sinner Adam. Jesus meanwhile knowing full well that he could have saved his beloved friend wa...

Leaves of Life: July 2010
http://revdawnleavesoflife.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Thoughts in the Afternoon. It is the afternoon. I am thinking about how little time we have on this earth. I remember all of the people who told me when I was growing up "oh enjoy your youth" or when I had children "oh they grow up so fast". Saturday, July 17, 2010. Who Is the Samaritan? Two questions and two answers. 8220;What shall I do to inherit eternal life? 8221; and “Who is my neighbor? Who is our neighbor? What if Jesus was the one who was hurt and lying by the road?

Monday, August 8, 2011. I suddenly felt a feeling of forgiveness that I will never fully be able to explain. God was continuing to change me as I responded to God's grace in repentance and faith. It's interesting that true repentance means change. A new direction for my life was on the horizon. Amen! I desperately needed it. Repentance and faith are the necessary responses to Jesus and His message of the kingdom. Well, I've been afraid of changing. Cause I've built my life around you. I am reminded how m...

Leaves of Life: January 2011

Thursday, January 27, 2011. This past Sunday, I preached on the topic of making Disciples. Many of you might have heard the podcast already on the web. I asked two key questions that I think deserve more attention. The first was "Am I in Christ? And the second one was "Am I in my calling? Severing ourselves can be quite difficult. Depending on all that you possess, your family ties, your job, your self identity, we can be quite tied up in our humanity. Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Routine with a "N".

Wednesday, November 3, 2010. I have been thinking today about time. I am reading a book that refers to the time between. I think between what? I next wonder about that thought of a time between time. What happens in that time. I learned at seminary that the word Kairos. Is an ancient Greek word. It means the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). I love the moment. It pinpoints time so well. It seems to reflect no movement in time at all. Everything is still in the moment. Is quantitative, kairos.
