Somehow, I got thinking today about boats. Well, that’s a bit overly broad. Specifically, I got to thinking about a particular boat, on a particular lake, with a particular cast of crewmen. More specifically, Matthew 14:22ff. Not long ago, I read a book entitled, I think, “If you want to walk on the water, youContinue reading “If not for the courage of the faithful crew…”

I just realized that it has been nearly a week since I last wrote or posted to my blog. I wonder why that is. It’s been an eventful week. First of all, my mom’s surgery last Wednesday has come and gone, and proved to be quite anticlimactic. No tumor or cance was found. The surgeryContinue reading “A Blessed Weekend”

Beginning to write today is hard. I want to post something to my blog, but I’m not really sure what to say, or even where or how to begin. For one thing, I’m already incredibly tired. It’s only 10:30 a.m. and I’ve been up nearly 8 hours already. Really, these early mornings are taking aContinue reading “On a new ethos”

Wind, strong and fierce, the Breath of God. Hear His voice cry out, the wind in the trees. Hear it crying, sighing, moaning in the trees. Walk His trails. Feel the strength of His arms the mountains. Rest secure, braced by cool, fresh air. Smell the breath of God, soil, grass, pines. Hear the song,Continue reading “SHEKINA”

Over the past couple of months, this space has been generally reserved for my musings on spirituality, with only one side trip into frustration. I’ve been relating to this space as a diary, or journal, but one that I willingly shared with any who wished to read. I’ve tried to open my soul to anyContinue reading “In like a, a, a GOOD thing, out like a, a, a BAD thing.”

Aurelius (he of snorting fame) used to refer to Liturgy as dance. Nothing should interfere with the Liturgical Dance, he held. Effort must be taken to minimize unnecessary movement. For several years after I left, I strove to encourage this attitude in the church I attend. Finally, I came to realize that we are notContinue reading “Wanna Dance?”

This week seems to be off to a much better start. Except, this morning, the coffee machine was broken. That’s a bad thing… got the jitters! But, it’s fixed, so all’s well, that ends well! I just posted a facetious response to another blog. The question was posed “If Jesus was shopping at Amazon.com, whatContinue reading “Rated…. X?”

What a crummy week. TGIF doesn’t even begin to express how I feel about today being Friday… And yet, that fact doesn’t inspire any real hope, today. I just get to spend a weekend dealing with more of the “same old same old”. I haven’t really had much time to write this week, which isContinue reading “Et tu, Brute?”

Friday I went flying. It was my first experience flying (as a passenger) in a small plane. The opportunity arose at almost the last minute. I certainly hadn’t expected when I got up Friday morning that by noon I’d be in the air. Friday was a chilly day, relatively strong winds (20 mph) with gustsContinue reading “God is my Copilot”

Spirituality; Faith; That’s what my blog has pretty much taken on as a focus. It’s what I dwell on, where my thoughts lead me inexorably day by day. Religion. It’s part of that issue of spirituality and faith. But it’s not synonymous. For me, and I highly doubt this is unique or original to me,Continue reading “On Definitions”
