Dead Tree In our Living Room.

Yep, that time of year, when we go out an buy a sad dead tree and stab it into a wobbly metal stand and wrap lights and shiny stuff from it.   We got two, actually. Remember that book "Indian In The Cupboard"? Same idea, but with a nubian nativity.  So, bring an ornament for the tree(s) next time you stop by.

These are people who have been sent out b...

  I'm thankful for women like Sara Kay Mooney who share poetry that helps keep us alive. I never read much poetry up until maybe a couple years ago. That's when I needed something that wasn't neat and orderly because a Pandemic will teach you that. I liked the otherness of it...the freedom of words that  could mean this or that but then suddenly, you know exactly what it means. In her recent weekly Lent email, where she writes a short reflection and shares a poem, Sara brings up the question, "Do I want to be right or do I want to be healed?" I suppose this is something I'll always battle. I too, have lived and walked in too many circles where it's just easier to pull that fruit right off the tree and say to God, "Look, I can help you out just a little. I have great ideas! I don't know if You know this but, those people over there have really let themselves go and they're being such horrible witnesses for You!" But what happens when just ...
