…by which I mean, in this case, God is in the confirmation sheet cakes. I just returned home from a two and half hour odyssey to pick up two full sheet cakes. I am using the term “odyssey” here with it’s full Homeric meaning. That should never be the case with a trip to pick [...]
I’m preaching in a week and half. I just looked up the lectionary texts: Psalm 131 Isaiah 49 (see verse 15 especially) Wow. Woman/mama imagery all over. Most of which I now understand alot better than I did a few years ago. This is why we have women-preachers. Well, at least some of the reason [...]
I’ve come up with some good excuses for not exercising, but this one surely beats them all: I’m being a little lazy this morning: snatched some extra sleep (Zora’s with Grandma), ate breakfast slowly, read part of a book, and I’m still in my jammies at almost 9:00.

Erik’s got a job (cue the bombastic, triumphant choral music), but we are still sorting out childcare. In other words, I am working full time with Zora in tow. It’s been an interesting week and a half so far. I think we are just inches away from having some sort of childcare plan pulled together. [...]

I’m back to Friday as my day off. A Friday off feels more like a Saturday off to me. Today, I plan to sabbath in a domestically oriented way, but not put myself under too much stress about getting all of things done. And, the list of things I could do sounds pretty nice: Take [...]
Reason number 27 why I should be more careful when I get chatty: I visited a local coffee shop I’ve never been to yesterday afternoon, and got a little chatty with the purveyor while she made me a really wonderful iced latte. The register rang it up at $35.29, and we were joking about the [...]
I found out something important about my childhood. Growing up, we had this huge tupperware carton of crayons. Everyone was broken and wrapper-less. I attributed this to two things: (1) We were a bunch of messy little hellions who broke all our crayons; (2) our parents were too cheap to buy us a nice new [...]
Of the May (and late April events) here’s where I now stand: Done: Youth Sunday; Erik has a job; met with speaker for adult leader mission trip orientation; submitted worship service to worship magazine Yet-to-be-done: Adult leader mission trip orientation; confirmand dinner with session and all its trappings (ice-breakers, video editing of faith statements; display [...]
It’s not every animal on the ark, but I still think she’s one smart cookie, and the kitty sound is particularly good, isn’t it?
