Scribble Out Loud: February 2011
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. This morning I thought there were enough Valentine's Day posts out there, I didn't need to add to them. And then this song, dear to my heart, came up on shuffle and I couldn't resist.). What if we stop having a ball? What if the paint chips from the wall? What if there's always cups in the sink? And what if i'm not who you think. I am terrible at making choices. Anything bigger than what to eat for dinner takes me a long. What if i fall further than you? What if i do? But maybe...

Scribble Out Loud: March 2013
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Sometimes, as I'm hunting for a church home, what I really need is drive-thru communion. In short, I step aside from the community aspect of the service. And I know this goes against everything that church is supposed to be. The midst of a church that's changing, and in the midst of a life that's changing, it can be exhausting. I was tired. And so I took a "church sabbatical." I prayed the psalms alone in my room, and slept in Sunday mornings. Right now those are still far off.

Scribble Out Loud: Singing the Refuges: Worship and the Interreligious Family
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2013/03/singing-refuges-worship-and.html
Friday, March 1, 2013. Singing the Refuges: Worship and the Interreligious Family. Source: Thoradin, via Wikimedia Commons. About a month ago, just like every Sunday, I slipped into the worship space just before 10am, bowed before the altar, and found a seat in the back row. I leafed through the service bulletin to take a look at what songs we’d be singing that morning. And after a few brief announcements, I joined in singing the morning’s first song. Read the rest of this post on State of Formation.

Scribble Out Loud: November 2010
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Well, it's the last day of my November blogging experiment. Didn't live up to the goal, of course. I only got 13 out of 30 posts finished. But I've always been of the mindset that even a failed writing challenge makes me into a better writer somehow. The question is how. What did I set out to do this month? Where did I fail, and where did I succeed? First the more obvious ones, the tasks I tried and failed at:. I didn't post every day. I didn't find a good blogging time/rhythm.

Scribble Out Loud: October 2011
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. Inspired by the question posed by the National Day on Writing. I write because I don’t know what I think until I’ve put it into words, and sometimes there’s no one around to say it to. I write for the same reason that I need long walks and home cooked meals—my body needs it, so does my soul. I write because it gets me out of my brain and into my body. I write because I can’t take photographs. I write because I can’t tell lies. I write because despite our best efforts, this is ...

Scribble Out Loud: Poet or Philosopher?
http://scribbleoutloud.blogspot.com/2010/04/poet-or-philosopher.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. Sallie McFague, Models of God. But there’s a part of poetry that I still am drawn to: the images. My early poems tended to focus on a single image, trying to describe it perfectly so someone else could see it. Even now, images still get stuck in my head. Is there a way to combine images and ideas? Maybe I’ll start with creating a new job description. Not philosopher, no longer technically poet. Some sort of ragtag theologian?
