or just a long long nap. I was so looking forward to the back half of this week – especially sleeping in for a long time on Friday… until I realized that we have our conference orders event Friday – and I have to get up at 6:30 just to make it there on time.…
Lectionary Leanings
I am SO excited for this week’s texts. I play a MMORPG (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game) and I so love the idea of Kenosis that I named my first character that. Kenosis you ask? Check out the scriptures especially the Christ Hymn for Philippians. Kenosis translated into English means emptying… self-giving… humility… pouring…
D is for Daily Bread
So often when we read the passage about the day laborers, we hear it from the perspective of those who were chosen first and we think about how unfair it is that others have recieved what we have been promised. So today, let us open our minds to hear the gospel message from the perspective…

I’m working on routine in my life right now (yes, I know I’ve said it time and time again… but hey, what can I say, I’m a work in progress). So far this week, I’ve stayed fairly on target with my plans – focusing on two particular goals: exercise and spiritual centering. For exercise, I…

I just took action with the ONE Campaign and…

lectionary leanings
This Week’s Lectionary I’m in the midst of my “ABC’s of Being the Church” series, and this week we are on “D.” After much back and forth, I finally found the inspiration I needed from Lindy Black’s Sermon Nuggets and a thought somewhere on there about Daily Bread. Our lectionary readings talk about the gift…
out of the loop
Alright, I’ve been avoiding the blog… well, not avoiding it, but i’ve been distracted by other things. namely – grey’s anatomy. Sometimes I’m embarassed about how much I’m into the show… and how excited I am for it to start back up. But I’ve also been legitimately busy at church. The week before last I…
