Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his [...]

Poison Ivy: God’s Great Leveller
Posted in Ethics and Justice, Food, life and love, tagged nature, poison ivy, Theology on August 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
For the lover of Nature, there is no end to the supply of theological and philosophical musings on the wonder of God’s creation. Whether it is Ralph Waldo Emerson or Anne Dillard, Michael Pollan or Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry or Barbara Kingsolver or even Mary Oliver, one does not have to look far to find [...]
On Retreat: Day Three

Peace Be Still; Peace Be Still; the Storm Rages; Peace be still. -Stephen Iverson This week is flying by! It is so energizing to spend time in community with ministers, and to find that we have so much to share with one another. I am relishing the time on retreat, and even, dare I say, [...]
Great Day
Posted in Church Stuff, life and love, tagged death, funeral, ministry, Smickle on May 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Well, it probably wouldn’t look like it on the surface… this week was dominated by the sudden passing of Gilbert Smickle, the brother of our clerk of session at UPC. It was painful, and it certainly was occasion for more than a few tears and sighs too deep for words. And yet, I am consistently [...]
Today’s Subject is Loneliness
Posted in life and love, meandering thoughts, tagged community, God, lonely on May 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Difficult, difficult, difficult. It has always been so difficult for me to acknowledge and embrace the part of myself that can suddenly be overcome by loneliness, whether I am alone or not. The person who, in the midst of a room full of people, many of whom she knows, will become increasingly aware in the [...]
The thing about goals…
Posted in Food, life and love, Uncategorized on May 13, 2010 | 1 Comment »
…is that they often become a chore. At least, that is how I felt about running on this past Sunday, as I forced myself to get myself over the 20-mile marker for the week… I felt like crud, and running was the last thing I wanted to do, but I also didn’t want to fail [...]
Lawdy Lawdy!

Gawrsh it’s been a while…I got myself lost in the Lent-Easter vortex and am only now starting to pull myself out… didn’t help that I also became not a little bit attached to watching television on the web–I am officially caught up on more shows than I care to admit. But seriously, it has been [...]
Reality-Check
Posted in life and love, meandering thoughts on March 4, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I often tell people that my work situation is ideal, that it is absolutely fantastic to be able to enjoy the benefits both of the city of Philly as well as the comforts and quiet of Belvidere. Folks readily assent to the perceived benefit of being to be able to have time in and away [...]
A blog about (not) blogging, and other experiences that take my breath away
Posted in Church Stuff, life and love, meandering thoughts, tagged blogging, calvin, Presbymergent, sacred on July 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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! [...]
The Joy of Waiting
Posted in life and love, meandering thoughts, tagged cooking, graduation, reading, running, waiting on May 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So often I hear the experience of waiting described as hell, as agony, as the most distressing aspect of getting to something. In the book I am reading right now, for example, the protagonist describes the moments before a cross country race as the worst part of his running experience, worse even than the pain [...]
