Liminal Space

Can you pray for me, Stay awake for me, Remain here, and Watch over me? Can you see the Altar bare, Let go of wondering where The pretty things went While I carry this cross for you? Can you let go of what you need Turn your focus unto me, Hear my fervent pleas From the garden of Gethsemane? Will you take this bread, Drink this wine And every single time Receive this grace In remembrance of me? Can you be bereft of me believe in me For through brief emptiness... Read More

Both Feet In

It’s a funny thing about feet in our culture. They are fully useful appendages, worth more than their weight in our well-being and mobility. But they embarrass us. Perhaps it’s their lowliness. Or perhaps the way they form over time says something about the load we carry. And how we carry it. Jesus knew this too. But he also knew that if leadership were only making decisions in the biblical boardroom and teaching a continually dumbfounded population, the disciples included, being... Read More

Living Deeply into Not-Knowing

Monday evening at the end of our EfM (Education for Ministry) group at St. George’s Episcopal Church led by Verlinda Henning and Gerry Brent, Verlinda urged us to walk with Jesus this week, as if we are walking next to him, experiencing the emotions, the darkness, the pain, the fear, as if we don’t know what will happen. We don’t know. We all left the room in silence under the weight of her words. It’s true, we don’t know. I feel urged to live deeply into that... Read More

Voice in Wilderness Startled Me with Awe

Not that I ever doubt the words from the pulpit, but for me, no words have ever become more alive than the ones Father Sandy shared in his sermon just prior to Lent.

He referred to the wilderness as “Holy Ground” where we can face our demons, name our fears and see God's divinity. He called it “a place where it is good for us to be there. Not easy, but good.” ...

CHC's a link in sustainable food chain

Every Tuesday, a miracle of modern ag marketing begins rolling through the doors of Memphis Tilth on Suzette, a short street of squat, brick buildings from the 1940’s that once houses a hive of auto-repair businesses. A few residuals of the era remain but not a lick at 575 Suzette, where a well-swept concrete floor replaced the shop car lifts. A new walk-in cooler hums in the background. Farmers stride through the double-wide doors with bins of lettuces, ruby-stemmed chard,... Read More
