Text of the page (random words):
orrow like today was a quaint commemoration of something from the distant past something that we know is important to reflect upon but not something that makes it past our hectic week s schedule that is too bad because that is not the history of this day in the church easter was a day were everything changed for those who wished to join the church and in some early church community when those seeking membership into a church community exited the font on easter morning it would be the first time that many would hear the lord s prayer recited they were not only resurrecting into a new life with jesus but a new life together with a family that they had previously never known they had relations let us know that today is about things changing there can no longer be the old person we were when we stand on the other side of the font we have put on a new person this new person is one that is radiant with christ s presence we are being engrafted into a new family and we need not resist christ s pull any longer come and know new life turn from sin and look into the face of love that is something that we can celebrate from today until the day we take our final breath thanks be to god leave a comment i thirst april 6 2012 3 14 pm filed under uncategorized i thirst what an incredibly human pathetic tragic and commonplace phrase in this dramatic scene of death a human system deprived of liquid enduring extreme torture and embarrassingly hanging bloodily from a tree dehydrates no real mystery here the greater shock is the truly human bodily functions jesus has while hanging here slowly dying i thirst is the complaint that any of us would have in the case of extreme blood loss and excessive violence done to our body this is not miraculous teaching profound words or wise aphorisms this is an ascent to christ s body breaking down and it s system requiring a drink i might have been standing there taunting jesus saying where are your angels to come and rescue you now to wet your lips with water from heaven i thought you said you where living water you said that anyone who drank from you would never thirst again and here you are thirsty you sound like the rich ruler who when burning up in hell asks for just a drop of water to sate his tongue yet resentment at not having a supernatural superhero to save the day puts us always in the category of those who miss the point of jesus life and death it is the fact that jesus suffers like we do that is almost unacceptable to our minds about the divine s interjection into our world we constantly look for the miraculous amongst the weeds and ignore the blades of grass struggling to live in their midst there is something beautiful about the common the regular and the human it is so beautiful that god sent his son to come amongst it and be a part of it he was not above it as philippians points out jesus did not consider equality with god something to be grasped but made himself nothing there is a goofy story that i love about a customs guard on the canadian border one day he was checking people through the border and a man came riding a bike with a box of sand attached on it s back carrier the custom officer thought something was fishy so he decided to do a search combing the box s contents he realized that there was nothing there so he let the man past the next day the same man came through on a bike and a box of sand on the bike s carrier he felt the same suspicion and searched the box to no avail this time he decided to have the bike x rayed but this yielded no result either so he waved the man past the border again this happened for a month and each time the border guard attempted some new way to catch this man in the act of smuggling body searches x rays taking the bike apart and re assembling it yet it was all to no avail the custom officer could find no contraband and let him across the border years later after the custom officer had retired he was eating breakfast in his favorite coffee shop and reading the newspaper when in walked the man on the bike the custom officer stopped him and said hey i was that custom officer a few years back and you would always cross the border on a bike with a box of sand on it s carrier i knew you were a smuggler but could never catch you i does not matter legally now since i am retired but i have always wondered what you were smuggling with a wry smile the man from the bicycle answered oh that is simple i was smuggling bikes where are you looking for the divine today is it the belief that jesus is some sort of spiritual talisman that arranges everything in your life could it be that he is a harry potter type wizard or a conjurer of magic no christ thirsts like we thirst we thirst for real and spiritual water christ reveals to us that there is no length too great that god will not reach to bring the possibility of resurrection into our lives even unto death humanity is important to god that is why our lives are worth salvation and regeneration looking in faith toward the christ is an act of belief in a man who bled hurt and had thirsts just like we do it is this man where we seek salvation 5 comments statement of marriage from today s occuwedding march 4 2012 1 10 am filed under uncategorized marriage is a liturgical act that binds two people in a covenant with each other and celebrates their love mercy peace and hope that they intend to celebrate throughout their breathing hours with one another i use the word liturgy because it is important for a ceremony like the one we are having this morning liturgy is the worship of the people it is an agreement of the people in praise to covenant with each other and to make that agreement together with each other and with their god liturgy is a democratic act of the people and is the decision this morning that no matter what our faith we affirm that this love is acceptable in the sight of our god not only is it acceptable but that when communities come together and affirm love mercy peace and hope it is extremely pleasing in the eyes of our god i strongly believe that your love for each other is only one part of the reason that we are celebrating today love gets you to the altar but there are other transformative things that sustain a committed relationship through the long and treacherous terrain of existence it is my firm belief that any sustaining relationship is about the completion of our humanity it is the relationships that we have with each other that allow us to be the humans that we are intended to be in this world whether it is the lasting relationships that each of us has forged through our participation in occupy the vital friendships that we nurture in life or the erotic love that we share with another human these are meant to make us whole as humans no less than jesus himself states that his ministry on earth was to bring life and to give life in abundance he did this by talking touching and healing what was broken and making it whole it is our hope that joining these two lives will intermingle passion care and love but also that it will bring about an ever increasing abundant life the greatest act of revolt in the face of an entrenched power maintaining control in a status quo through incrementalism corruption materialism violence and fear is affirming that we gain our life through something greater than anything they could provide that is what we celebrate today there is no principality or power or ruler of darkness in this world that can shake our resolve to affirm the freedom that life brings we will not be enticed by the shiny and mesmerizing talismans of power money and greed we come to celebrate life we come to celebrate love we come to celebrate freedom leave a comment my thoughts on the pjc decision on rev janie spahr february 29 2012 11 43 pm filed under uncategorized with stunning hypocrisy the permanent judicial commission of the presbyterian church usa censured rev janie spahr for marrying same sex couples in a state where those marriages are legal this has a chilling effect on people of conscience and will encourage the most radical conservative elements to again use our church courts to persecute ministers for using spiritual wisdom over legalism or fundamentalism the presbyterian church finds itself in the bipolar theological stance of accepting gay and lesbian elders and ministers in our community of faiths but denying them access to one of our essential liturgical acts many states and the district of columbia affirm the basic civil right for people of same gender to covenant with each other in an act of fidelity yet the church for years has been more than willing to cede its moral authority on this issue to the state when in truth no state should usurp our rights as religious bodies to define our own liturgical acts the actions by the pjc has a chilling effect not only on ministers who prayerfully follow their conscience but throws into question the legal marriages in which those clergy preform why would a church want to throw into chaos loving families when most of them have waited so long for their basic civil rights as citizens this is the strange nature of our church today finding ourselves tone deaf to the movement of the spirit in new generations polity can become idolatry polity was made for humans and not humans for polity it is a sad state when a reformed church sidles itself with bureaucracy and a rote non questioning status quo over a new generation of leadership in the church the sociology is not on the side of liberals conservatives or moderates who only want to watch with their walkers in hand as incrementalism turns the church into a new wing of the smithsonian for those who truly care about the future of a reforming church come along with those of us holding the bible in one hand and listening to the spirit s movement for those with ears let them hear hear that though you fight these baby boomer cultural issues you are losing the larger prize these may continue to be the issues as our churches presbyteries and general assemblies age out we will continue to bemusedly ask the everlasting question where are the next generation of leaders hopefully not too late we will realize that they are worried about the poor student loan debts fraudulent foreclosures predatory lending the environment unemployment and have already made peace with these issues of sex that we find so intriguing long live the presbyterian church that i love long live the church that might convict me for celebrating love leave a comment prayer i wrote during planning for the people s prayer breakfast february 3 2012 1 46 pm filed under uncategorized my god my god why have we forsaken you when your goodness surrounds us and your children could be our hedge against the despair and depression we feel in the world around us what have we left them here but distraction and waste can these plastic bottles speak do they give them life will the illusions we create fade away and leave them empty looking to the stars we peer beyond ourselves knowing that our answers lie far beyond us there is more to be seen than with the naked eye when we rest in wonder sanctify our thoughts glorify the emptiness in time we can only do this by our pleasure in you this chest that beats out the life we consume is not the extent of our full worth and there is much more to life than counting each beat of finite time to all that we abandon our memories trouble us they have been left orphans to our weakness and pride our repentance turns us to remembrance of false idols created to distract us from our responsibilities help us to turn from despair and it s paralyzing grip that we might create magnificent monuments to your will we have lost too much to gain so little our grasp toward things does not replace our family neighbor or community we have waited too long to put our hand to on the plow waited for an invitation to create the community where dignity among equals reigns out of the sadness of lost relations we hope to forge laughter and a sense of care out of our anger make the calm contentment of change if we are to have righteous indignation point it toward injustice and the salvation of the starving when we isolate ourselves from each other reveal amongst us the necessity of each human so that we might find you in plain sight every child is our ward every mother is our mother every father is our father and every grandparent our elder when they slide into despair we must feel its effect to our bones and their cries are mingled amongst our hearty praise we covenant with you and with our neighbor a rejection of power over and above the powerless a rejection of capital over and above our common wealth a rejection of possessions over and above relationship a rejection of productivity over and above wisdom a rejection of technology over and against mutuality a rejection of punishment over and above spiritual discipline a rejection of negating anyone s humanity in the name of country individual pride or religious affiliation and a rejection of a society that defines humanity solely on race class identity or status over and above their acceptance by the divine may our friends see hope through us may our enemies find the peace we desire may our neighborhoods find justice and mercy may our nation uphold the dignity of all living creatures in your holy name amen 1 comment the people s prayer breakfast february 3 2012 1 42 pm filed under uncategorized leave a comment mystical mystery january 23 2012 3 08 pm filed under uncategorized i have been reflecting for the past couple of days on mystery it is such an important concept to my spirituality and here is a rough draft on some of my thoughts on it to perceive mystery is the great challenge it can render the temple between sanity and beyond tearing fissures across the sentient world with all its illusions being hurled into the great unknown we only half heartedly believe all we see to be correct reflections from retina to brain we know distortions have already been born before we open our eyes and awaken from slumber to create magical realities from information s bits and scraps still mystery s presence is it impenetrability its absolute infinite distance between rational reception and an embedded claim of a creator this reality cannot be tactile in our grasp but sensually frightening an emotional quandary calling into question all sanity and knowledge mystery again claims no reality but beyond it shakes each being to yearn and wonder in contemplation of that which is incomplete it leaves a desperate and satisfying yearning an ache hope 1 comment my last poem of 2011 january 1 2012 2 24 am filed under uncategorized recession pulling back tidal in retreat knows nothing of feelings nor blood in the vein it can only ebb out of sight reminding us of a
