The Journey: April 2013
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 13, 2013. 2013-04-12 Rock Chunking."You have to get all the big rocks out of the way before you can till the ground". Twice today as I answered the question “When are you going back to Akobo”? When I answered, I was told the same thing in different words. Once from a friend, once from a pastor who is passing through Addis with a group on their way to the countryside. I answered the question, “In a couple of weeks. We are waiting to see what the security situation is there”. I now know tha...

Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Random musings from New Wilmington Mission Conference, 2014…. I really wanted to take pictures this week, but I didn’t out of respect for God’s work. So, you will just have to imagine it…. 750 people gathered under an outdoor amphitheater, arms wrapped around each other singing, “The Spirit of the Lord is in this place” as the sun is setting across the lake. I knew those things were out of my control. A few highlights from my week…. 8230;reconnecting with old friends and co-wor...

The Journey: August 2012
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. Sermon - Jesus Calling. St Philip Presbyterian Church. August 12, 2012. As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 8220;Come, follow me,”. 8220;and I will send you out to fish for people.”. At once they left their nets and followed him. When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. This is the word of the Lord….

The Journey: April 2014
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2014. Sometimes there are just no words. Today is Maundy Thursday, the day we will gather in our churches in honor of the Last Supper as Jesus begins his final walk to death. Today my heart breaks once again for the people of South Sudan after reading the latest news from there. It breaks for my "Ladies of Renk" when I hear they were attacked last night and many of my friend's coworkers fled during the night. Dear Peace-loving Friends,. SAAF is seeking to help organize a coalition of ...

The Journey: Confronted with the Past, Looking Toward the Future
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2014/10/confronted-with-past-looking-toward.html
Monday, October 6, 2014. Confronted with the Past, Looking Toward the Future. The Journey – Confronted with the Past, Looking Toward the Future. October 5, 2014. Today at church I was confronted with my past…the past that began with helping the homeless. In the past I, too, would have given whatever I had to help someone in need. That past has also taught me some lessons, helping doesn’t always help. Sometimes our very best intentions hurt, not help. It breeds dependence not independence. I think it is o...

The Journey: July 2012
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 21, 2012. It has been almost a week now since we all came together and already a community has formed. We were talking today about how building a earth bag house is more than the sand, gravel and clay that the structure is built from. It is the community that forms in the process of working together. So, as I go forward into this new day, I wish you well my friends and I will write when I can. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. In the middle of the wilderness! In addition her, we are a very diverse g...

The Journey: Out of the Wilderness…
http://the-journey-s-in-s.blogspot.com/2014/09/out-of-wilderness.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Out of the Wilderness…. The Journey continues…. Out of the Wilderness…. The road from Fort Worth to Granbury was dark tonight. Pitch dark. So dark you couldn’t see the other side unless a car was coming at you. So dark you couldn’t see anything beyond the edge so you hug the center white line praying not to go off the side into the nothingness that is shrouded in darkness and swirling fog. Trust it to see you through. You and I all know that when things keep coming at you i...

Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Unity - FPC, HPPC and Me. I was doing my studying this morning and the question raised some interesting thoughts to me especially in light of Joe Clifford's letter about the situation with Highland Park. Http:/ www.fpcdallas.org/index.cfm/pageid/2101/index.html. It is not often I will put my thoughts about a situation in writing, but today I wanted to commit them to paper. Is the church of Christ united today? If it is, how does that unity manifest itself? Highland Park was bor...

Some Journeys cannot be planned …. Sometimes I find myself sitting in these surreal situations and I just have to pinch myself and say “Are you sure”? Elizabeth asked her something I didn’t understand, but she told her that she had been baptized. I asked her if she believed in God, she said she was baptized but she can’t pr...Then we began...
