The Holy Ground of Leaving | Sign on the Window

Sign on the Window. The Holy Ground of Leaving. May 28, 2014 in Uncategorized. I am thankful for Jan Richardson and the blessing I need on this day. A Blessing in the Dust. You thought the blessing. In casting your lot. With this place,. In learning the art. And now you stand. The home you had. Had ached for,. Not yours, after all. As small comfort,. For the next step. As you go,. In your two hands,. In your heart that knows. There is a place. There is a blessing. In the leaving,. In the dust shed. You a...

Sign on the Window. 8220;Is it good news? 8221; James 2:1-17. September 10, 2015 in Uncategorized. Sept 6, 2015. Is it good news? Last year my neighbor came to see me. Her subsidized housing unit, a dilapidated duplex, had been sold to a new rental company. In exchange for a break in the rent she’d agreed to move out early, to move to another part of town. In her seventies, frail and tired, she wondered if we would help her pack up her things. And I wondered, is it good news? Is it good news? Two people ...

Katie Napkins: Baby-Sitter Extraordinaire | Katie Napkins's Weblog
https://katienapkins.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/katie-napkins-baby-sitter-extraordinaire
Katie Napkins’s Weblog. Ms Napkins if you’re nasty. Katie Napkins: Baby-Sitter Extraordinaire. Last week I had the pleasure of baby-sitting my seven-month-old nephew. His mom had to take him to Passways with her, the camp her church’s youth group was going to, and she asked me to watch him while she would be out doing activities with her youth. This ended up being a good portion of the day, so I was given a great opportunity to bond with little Zeke. This is not to say that it isn’t hard work. As an adde...

Anti-racism sermon on Mark 4:35-41 | Sign on the Window
https://signonthewindow.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/sermon-on-mark-435-41
Sign on the Window. Anti-racism sermon on Mark 4:35-41. June 22, 2015 in Uncategorized. Since then I’ve wondered if the 87-year old Susie Jackson brought her children and her grandchildren to play in this same fountain. I’ve wondered if she sat on that very same bench where I sat, just a few blocks from her church, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal. Yes, our black brothers and sisters know about storms. Do you not care that we are perishing? I continue in this day of sadness and bewilderment with a hea...

Nehemiah Sermon on Domestic Violence | Sign on the Window
https://signonthewindow.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/nehemiah-sermon-on-domestic-violence
Sign on the Window. Nehemiah Sermon on Domestic Violence. June 17, 2015 in Uncategorized. I was at a reading group this morning where someone brought up the issue of how we preach against patriarchy, both in overt forms like domestic violence but also in the more subtle forms of self-sacrifice. I remembered preaching a sermon on domestic violence, knowing this is a topic not always preached from the pulpit. Here it is from a ways back. Nehemiah 8 (Epiphany, Year C). There’s something really wonderful abo...

Sign on the Window. Sermon for the Third Sunday of Advent. December 17, 2013 in Uncategorized. Third Sunday of Advent. December 22, 2013. The Risk of Birth. This is no time for a child to be born,. With the earth betrayed by war and hate. And a nova lighting the sky to warn. That time runs out and the sun burns late. That was no time for a child to be born,. In a land in the crushing grip of Rome;. Honour and truth were trampled by scorn. Yet here did the Saviour make his home. Her world reflects the har...

Easter Sermon 2014 | Sign on the Window
https://signonthewindow.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/easter-sermon-2014
Sign on the Window. April 24, 2014 in Uncategorized. April 20, 2014. Three days had passed and she was overwhelmed with exhaustion. Mary could hardly tell if she was dead or alive. But what was the difference now? He was gone. Just like that, this little spark of hope he had kindled in her was snuffed out. Today’s story continues with Mary leaving the tomb to tell the other disciples what she’s seen. They return to confirm that, indeed, the body of Jesus is gone. But curious things have happened&...The f...
