Sunday, August 13, 2017: Weeding and Not Weeding

Robert
Self-Heal

Self-Heal

The summer routines of yard maintenance bring us into direct contact with nature, with the living things that inhabit the space around us. Some can bring us great joy, others perhaps less so. And so we must decide when to weed, and when not to weed. These decisions we make are part of our spiritual journey.

Peace, joy, and love,
Robert

Sunday, June 18, 2017: Genealogy as a Spiritual Practice

Prelude: Leader of the Band – Dan Fogelberg

Welcome: The Paradox of Ancestry

We gather together this morning,
Because others came before us.
Some have left examples for us to follow,
Others lessons for us to learn from,
and the paradox is that many have left both pain and joy.
We honor our ancestors this morning, not because they are perfect,
But because, without them, we would not be here,
Together,
Sharing our joy, our pain, our living and our dying.

– Christopher A. Rothbauer Continue reading →
