A Pilgrim's Perspective: March 2010

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 27, 2010. Posted by Rev. Jean. Saturday, March 20, 2010. Knowing God in All Our Days. However, it has been the writings of Missy Buchanan that have recently helped to keep me focused on the frail and aging. Nearly everyday a Twitter tweet @MissyBuchanan provides an insight that needs to be pondered and shared in some way. Her two devotional books written for older adults have especially touched my soul. These Upper Room publications are Living with Purpose in a Worn-Out Body.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: A Visit to Berea, KY

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010/04/visit-to-berea-ky.html

Saturday, April 10, 2010. A Visit to Berea, KY. Through the years as we have made our north and south trips, we have often visited Berea, Ky. Berea is named Kentucky’s Folk Arts and Crafts Capital and is certainly a must place to visit when traveling I-75. In fact, I think to truly experience this delightful community, one should name it a destination for a day or two. Posted by Rev. Jean. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Email Rev. Jean.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: January 2010

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 30, 2010. In this aftermath of the disastrous earthquake in Haiti, my heart and mind have joined millions of others in sorrow and in the need to respond. I am so glad that I am part of a church that leads me through this in a faithful way. First, we know that God in Christ Jesus knows suffering and is an abiding presence in tragedy. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote “only the suffering God can help.”. We know a God who brings redemption out of the depths of human suffering and deprivation.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: August 2010

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 20, 2010. The Gift of Teaching. Posted by Rev. Jean. Saturday, August 14, 2010. Yes, I realize that I haven’t paid attention to my blog since April and I’m not sure why. But, trying to find excuses has inspired me to try again. It would seem quite appropriate that I reflect on why I use social media. Last summer a confluence of three events – Facebook. Almost immediately, I was captivated by the wide variety of voices, which were expressing their thoughts and sharing information. Perhaps, ...

A Pilgrim's Perspective: February 2010

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 13, 2010. Yesterday, as I listened to NPR's The Takeaway. While driving to the church, I suddenly heard words that I needed to know about human trafficking. Why haven't I paid more attention to this important topic? Periodically, I have read/heard local voices express concern about human trafficking as a real concern for Myrtle Beach. Posted by Rev.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: Hiatus to End

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010/08/hiatus-to-end.html

Saturday, August 14, 2010. Yes, I realize that I haven’t paid attention to my blog since April and I’m not sure why. But, trying to find excuses has inspired me to try again. It would seem quite appropriate that I reflect on why I use social media. Last summer a confluence of three events – Facebook. And iPhone - refocused my life in many ways. It all started when I decided I needed to check out FB and Twitter for its possible use as First Church communication tools. Yet, I have neglected my blogging.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: Children's Sermons

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010/03/childrens-sermons.html

Saturday, March 27, 2010. Posted by Rev. Jean. I think the intention was good, but it has strayed far from what it was meant to be. At best, children receive a concrete word lesson about the text. But how much can really be communicated in 5 minutes with an audience no less? Between wiggle bags, childrens sermons and childrens church, do children participate in worship at all? George E.

A Pilgrim's Perspective: Civility

http://revjean.blogspot.com/2010/04/civility.html

Saturday, April 03, 2010. My sensibilities have been assaulted and I have been left nearly speechless as the recent political rhetoric has filled the media. Divisive and hateful words seem to be shaping public discourse and the stridency prohibits civil conversation. Not so subtly racist and sexist comments seem to be edging into our public opinions. I am left feeling very sad and wonder what are we teaching our children? Posted by Rev. Jean. George E. Olive said. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
