wednesday already?!

Hey.

Blogging regularly is hard with no internet at home.

So many people claim to believe in the Resurrection, and yet it means so little to them. It has no effect in their lives. It is not enough to celebrate Easter and say “Christ is risen!” Indeed, it is useless to proclaim it at all, unless at the same time we can say that we too have risen.(link)

- C. F. Blumhardt

I have been pondering these things recently. The thinking appeared in my sermon. Larry has been reflecting as well. Interesting stuff.

Today I will be sitting in the library and working on my grant proposal for next year's fellowship. There is much work to be done. For your reading, take a gander at these sermons from last Sunday's lectionary readings.

The Sacristan
Reverend Ref - You'll need to scroll down.

I have been reading through the Saliers' book of late. I want to post something about music and obedience, but that will have to wait, I think. It has to do with this quote:

Spirituality is not an idea in the brain but rather a disciplined bodily experience that grows deeper as practiced. If we are to grasp why and how true spirituality takes root in human beings, attend to the power of sound...
I'll see y'all around.
Holy Spirit, however powerless we may be, enable us to
bring peace where there are oppositions and violence,
and to make a reflection of God’s compassion visible
through our lives. Yes, enable us to love and to express
it by the lives we lead. - Bro. Roger of Taize
