Sleet and snow keep up home last Sunday so it’s been 2 weeks since the good folk at Pine Island Presbyterian Church have been together. Although I’ve only been worshipping there for 2 1/2 months I feel strongly connected with the community and the care and support they offer. Yesterday was no exception.
Throughout the service [...]

This is a precarious, deep and mysterious dance
to which You extend an invitation.
A dance whose partners
are hope and surrender;

Moving to their own internal rhythm
and each having two left feet
while stepping on the other’s toes.
Hope wants to be the lead partner,

I began with a piece of paper 8″ by 10″ and quickly realized that it wasn’t nearly big enough. I went to the garage and cut off a piece 4′ by 5′. It was bigger than the desk I was working on but I knew I needed something that big.

Prompted by the gifts of the Wise Ones, I thought about our gifts. Sometimes extravagant gifts are the order of the [...]

“What are you aching for this year?” Jen asks in her blog, JenLemen. I pondered her question as I wandered around my house in my mind and came up with a few ideas. But it was at worship this morning that I saw, vividly, part of my answer.
I’ve been worshipping with the Pine Island Presbyterian Church, a community of [...]
