I was posting sermons for family back home and then–*BAM!*–our apartment got broken into and our video recorder was stolen. Thanks in no small part to the generosity of my grandparents who visited last week, we are now in possession of a new flip video, which means that Alex has been taping sermons again (or [...]

When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right [...]
Gratitude: A Christmas Eve Reflection on the Lukan Story
Posted in Church Stuff, tagged Christmas Eve, Luke, sermon on December 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It doesn’t start off sounding like a particularly special or noteworthy story—“In those days, a decree went out from Emperor Augustus, that all the world should be registered.” No warning that this story is THE story, just information, a setting, a time and a place. A map, if you will, of the various pieces and [...]
A blog about (not) blogging, and other experiences that take my breath away

I posted the following to presbymergent‘s website and it should, pending review, show up sometime over the course of the next week. I spent a little time working on it, so I didn’t quite have the time to write something for here this week, so I thought I would post it here as well. Enjoy! [...]
What does your Calvin Look Like?

So this dude facebooked me today with the following message: Hi Sarah, I was hoping to find out more about what the term Emergent Church means. I’ve done some Internet research, but have, so far, been unable to clearly grasp this concept. I checked out the blogger and facebook emergent church cohort, and I thought [...]

So I finished my Ord exam today (whoopeee!) and am now back in that blissful state known as pure summer… which means that i finally have time to write a bit of substance. So what has been on my mind? Lots of things, actually. Due to exegesis exam, for starters, my mind is focused quite [...]
When studying becomes a pleasure…
Posted in Church Stuff, tagged guthrie, HDS, ordination exams on August 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Who knew that reading Shirley Guthrie could be such a fulfilling experience? I certainly didn’t expect studying for ords to be gratifying in most senses of the word, so it has certainly been a welcome surprise to find that the most universally recommended text for studying for ords happens to be one of the more [...]
