r cornerstones of emerging christianity conference friday evening there were three presenters susanne stabile founder with her husband of life in the trinity ministry sponsor talks about understanding that different people are led to christianity in different ways think myers briggs personality types brian mclaren internationally renowned speaker on innovative christian thought nadia bolz weber the founder of house for all sinners and saints a non traditional church in denver co evangelical lutheran church in america house is open and affirming homeless ex addicts lgbt etc the church has three jobs maintain the liturgy proclaim forgiveness care for the least last lost it is not about the numbers it s the content the church needs to be ecologically stable church has bought into the corporate culture the church needs to be recalibrated we need to bring the laity up to the level of the pastors there are four cornerstones breakout sessions community via al watters the church is living in liminal space before anything can be created something must die when in liminal space you can either go forward backwards or wait you can only start with what you have you ve got to ask yourself and others are they followers of christ or just fans pastors need to be transparent and show their flaws we can not create meaning but we must discover it you can t accommodate every ego but must work within a given framework you can t build church community individually social justice via al watters and cindy finley instructor read from zechariah 7 9 and 10 didn t i tell them thus says yhwh administer true justice show kindness and mercy to one another do not oppress the widowed or the orphaned the resident alien or the poor and do not plot evil against one another list injustices in the community have passion determine how to work for justice justice is a long term commitment once a judgment is made to implement justice you must reconcile the team meetings and the church as a whole having problems forming the right question or seeing what it might look like you can get with the right question institute in mass spiritual disciplines the current big buzz words are spiritual but not religious can the church explain how doing god and doing church are related can it create a community that is genuinely grounded in those priorities can it draw effectively on its inheritance it s not about the numbers the dave test until our churches take time for contemplation and discernment we will keep on doing everything just as we always have a contemplative practice is any act habitually entered into with your whole heart as a way of awakening deepening and sustaining a contemplative experience of the inherent holiness of the present moment epic worship the historical jesus

hanging on hold with quicken customer service i updated my quicken software last week and it is so messed up it s almost unusable talk about frustrating they have obviously done something to improve it but with my file which i admit is pretty large it is taking me almost an hour to do a few simple tasks that used to take me only 10 minutes or so i enter a number and it wanders off into the wild blue yonder couple that with the fact that i m attempting to move my money from bank of america to usaa bank and you can see why i was about ready to teach the computer to fly last friday anyway before i could even get started on that i got a call that i had forgotten to do something for my one little bookkeeping client and it had to be done sooner rather than later so i trekked to his office and tried to send his quickbooks file to his cpa so they could deal with his payroll taxes before the end of the month when i tried to send the file i found out it was too big to send via you send it unless i upgraded the service and agreed to pay 9 99 a month we send one file once a quarter so that seemed excessive i spent an extra half hour trying to figure out a way to get that done it looks like we ll have to put it on a thumb drive and mail it or carry it over there groan so i left there and went to the grocery store got my groceries and came home to fix lunch while we were eating i got a call from the realtor s listing service asking if someone could show the house between 6 00 and 7 00 this evening i said ok but then when i finished lunch i had to scurry around and finish picking up the house and make the bed and file the mail so the place looked presentable i also had plans to call usaa bank and finish with whatever needed to be done to get those accounts up and running but now here it is 3 30 in the afternoon and i m still listening to the music at quicken and nothing else has gotten done lord knows when i ll get to talk to somebody it makes me crazy posted in miscellaneous moving tagged bank of america grocery shopping payroll taxes quicken thumb drive usaa bank leave a reply sorry posted on october 21 2011 by abbiewatters 1 well i guess i ve done it again i ve gone several days without updating the blog i have been doing stuff just not writing anything here if you ll check you ll see that i updated my books page though i ve also begun saving all of the legacy posts over into ms word so i can do something about maybe publishing it i ve been doing a lot of research in ancestry com on the genealogy my dicey hip that has been in pretty good shape for the last couple of years decided it didn t like the cool fall weather or something and went out on me over the weekend consequently it is taking me about twice as long to go up and down the hall from my office to the bathroom and monday evening i couldn t even stand up long enough to cook supper big al has been a trooper and helped me fix dinner all week long including doing the dishes as well it s much better today but i still have to be really careful when i turn and shift my weight at the same time for some reason this blog has started showing up in all the searches for maggiano s probably because of my posts about thanksgiving dinner and so i ve felt like a real rock star i m pleased but i wish the visitors would read something else as well while they re here i promise i ll try to figure out something to write about more often but my days are pretty same old same old right now and i m sure you ll get bored with hearing about the 4 hours i spent tracking down a long lost cousin from 1890 i continue to stew about the state of the country i ve actually started moving my money out of bank of america i pray for the occupys and give them my moral support i m trying not to read everything i see on facebook about the movement mostly because it raises my blood pressure to astronomical levels i can only do the little i can do but as someone said just because i can t help everyone doesn t mean i can t help someone posted in family miscellaneous tagged ancestry com fall weather maggiano s moving money the occupy movement 1 reply life goes on posted on october 17 2011 by abbiewatters 2 i filled out printed and prepared to mail the information to close my little corporation with the state as soon as it s in the mail i ll be completely and officially retired i actually retired dec 31 2010 but i had to file all the lingering tax returns before i could close the corporation i took the first steps to get my money away from bank of america i m moving all of that money checking and savings to usaa bank i ve checked around and that seems to be about the only place that is both financially secure and not going to be bought out by a bigger bank and also reasonably moral in their financial practices as a 45 year member of usaa i think i can vouch for their practices as soon as they verify the checking account i m moving the money posted in miscellaneous tagged bank of america financial practices my corporation usaa bank 2 replies moving posted on october 16 2011 by abbiewatters reply well i may have completely jinxed any possibility of selling the house but i turned down somebody who wanted to show it today the thing is we have had three last minute requests to show the house in the past week one monday morning at 8 30 to show it at 11 00 one tuesday morning at 9 00 to show it at 11 30 and one friday afternoon at 5 30 to show it at 8 30 on saturday morning the call on monday morning came after we had already sorted the wash and had piles of clothes waiting their turn in the washing machine the one tuesday morning came when we had planned to go grocery shopping and then run errands the one friday evening came after big al had already decided to skip his men s group at the church on saturday morning because he was tired and wanted to sleep in in all three cases we changed our plans in order to clean up and vacate the house so it could be shown in all three cases we got notified during the agreed time of the showing that oh sorry we re not going to be able to make it we ll reschedule none of these were the same realtor or even the same agency but it still was really irritating then today at 2 00 p m somebody asked if they could show it at 4 00 p m right in the middle of the cowboys game now i don t have many things that i watch on tv religiously oregon football and the cowboys are the only sporting events that i make an effort to see my only other show is parenthood on tuesday nights also big al had set out to download and install the new ios for his ipad and it had run into trouble so when the request came he was at the apple store and i didn t have any idea when he would get home anyway i told the booking agency no the request came with too little lead time in a way it s too bad we didn t get to show it i went to calloway s yesterday and got two of these beautiful croton bushes for the side yard they are really nice and look like fall is here oh well if those people really wanted to see the house i guess they ll reschedule next time with more lead time i hope posted in moving tagged cowboys game croton ipad last minute requests oregon football leave a reply my confession posted on october 15 2011 by abbiewatters reply following the processus confessionis found in the presbyterian women horizon s study guide for the beatitudes greatly honored are you who are destitute for yours is the kingdom of god shame on you who are affluent for you have received your consolation luke 6 the aymer translation greatly honored are the mourners for they will be comforted matthew 5 the aymer translation shame on you who are laughing now for you will weep luke 6 the aymer translation i believe god honors the poor and destitute in the world and will not forget the injustices of the rich when they make the lives of the poor even worse i believe god honors those who mourn calling my attention to the injustices and ills of my society my country and my world this merciful god is comforting the mourners and will deal harshly with those who mock them i see in the faithful budget campaign an attempt to influence our government to remember the needs of the least the last and the lost in this country and around the world i see in the occupy movement a broad spectrum of society mourning the loss of justice equality and hope as the rich grow ever richer and the poor are mocked and put down i understand that i have not always given sacrificially to the poor both in my community and throughout the world i know i own stock in some of the big corporations through my ira and mutual funds i help support the banks and corporations who after taking public funds have not dealt fairly or honorably with their customers and the public at large in order to live faithfully i will increase my donations of food and goods to the local food bank and to the outreach closet at the church i will send e mails and make phone calls to my representatives in the government to protest any attempt to balance the budget on the backs of the poor both in our country and around the world i will begin the process of removing my money from the largest and most predatory banks and will make a conscious effort to purchase goods from smaller local firms who do not engage in exploitative manufacturing i will spread the word about movements for justice and i will refrain from poking fun at political figures on all sides posted in pc usa tagged budget campaign local food bank mockers poor presbyterian

posted in miscellaneous tagged movie recommendation leave a reply i m a little snarky today posted on october 13 2011 by abbiewatters 1 i find myself becoming a little snarky particularly about politics right now and that seems to bring me back around to my difficulty in selling the house and sometimes it starts with not being able to sell the house and then i work myself around to being angry with politics basically a vicious circle i really do have at least two joys to report though both bill and ray have recently gotten new jobs for better pay with more responsibility and hopefully better longevity thanks be to god the improved weather will hopefully put me in a better frame of mind and i will be back tomorrow or the next day happier and a little less snarky posted in family joy

beatitudes this year and last night at circle meeting we studied matthew s second beatitude greatly honored are those who mourn the lesson talks about how we are called upon to stand with those who are mourning whether it s mourning a death or mourning a great loss or mourning because we are ashamed this suggested to me the angst that is becoming so apparent in the occupy movement that is starting to make an impact on the country i saw this article in the huffington post this morning about clergy who are joining the movement in our on line circle i posted this comment to this lesson of course or maybe not of course i grieve and mourn for the folks who are left unemployed and homeless because of the selfishness of the fat cats on wall street and yes i own stock and have a little
