On Retreat: Day One

“God doesn’t answer prayers; our prayers are answers to the prayer that God has already started” The alarm buzzed irritably from the window where I had left it the night prior. Morning, I thought to myself. How swiftly we are plucked from the warmth of our beds to greet the day. Earlier than I would [...]

In the quietness of our own hearts,let each of us name and call on the Triune God, whose power over us is great and gentle, firm and forgiving, holy and healing… You, Holy God, who created us, who sustain us, who call us to live in peace, hear our prayer this day. Hear us as we [...]

I delivered my last sermon at my internship last week, and I decided to preach on prayer. If you are interested in reading it, my sermon can be found here. Also…. this Sunday was my last day, and of course CHPC did their tradition goodbye thing (I was there last year to see them do [...]

It’s finally here- finals season. I knew it was coming. I knew for weeks, years even (if i had cared enough to care, the Harvard calendar is set years in advance) so there was no reason for me to be surprised. And yet here I sit, one week left until all of my finals must [...]

This morning is my last sermon at Clarendon Hill, and it feels weird. It feels weird to realize that the year is almost over, that my middle year at seminary is drawing to a close, and that I feel less prepared for ministry than ever. This year has taught me so much, but especially has [...]

Whadda Whadda Week….
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged anxiety, busy, calvin, Prayer, preaching, predestination on March 13, 2008 | 3 Comments »
If you didn’t guess from the title, it’s been a “week.” Not only has my time been consistently filled with various obligations, but my mind has been filled persistently with all sorts of things that are troubling me. For instance, this week we read the section on Predestination and Election in the Institutes for class, [...]

update on my last post– things went well! I was recommended by my CPM for candidacy and will be appearing in the presence of Presbytery on April 5th…. so soon too! As for the process, I will say that this time around was much less nerve-wracking than the previous two meetings with CPM, which is [...]

It’s D-Day. And by D-Day, I mean my annual CPM meeting. Now, granted, I love my CPM. They are great folks and I every year I leave with the sense that they are truly committed to this process. They are loving and supporting (and to my knowledge none of them read this blog so, no, I am [...]
