My 93 year old Father-in-law's birthday pie is finally in the oven and I'm reflecting on other early-summer traditions.
Many of my Canada Day memories are located in the final days of camp staff training, readying ourselves to provide good 'habitat for the soul' for children coming to church camp.
When Betty Lynn Schwab asked how I would feel if she adopted “God’s healing of soul, community, and creation” as the focus of this year’s United Church Lenten devotional book, I was delighted. The biblical reflections and prayers of eight extraordinary writers now offer us an unprecedented opportunity for shared spiritual practice and theological discussion on this theme using this book, Rising with the Morning Star.
I often speak about how people of faith provide the impetus for national discussions and dramatic shifts by appealing to heart and soul. I love recalling the leadership of, among others, William Wilberforce, Nellie McClung, Tommy Douglas, Martin Luther King Jr., and Desmond Tutu.
I've got a question. It's a phrase that pops up every now and again here, and as Little Red Cinnamon Heart Day (the best thing about Feb. 14, in my opinion) approaches, it occurs to me more than ever to wonder about it.
My question is this: What, exactly is a soul mate? How do you know if or when you've met one? (or more?) Do we each have one? Do only the Lucky Few ever get to meet theirs? What does the phrase mean, anyway?
Welcome to my blog—a place to reflect with me on God’s abundant healing of soul, community, and creation. I hope you will visit often and be part of this sacred conversation.
The front page of the morning newspaper quotes an 11-year-old girl saying, among other things, “If you’re going to go through life, truth is big.”
Okay, so I am doing an ISU for philosophy and I was wondering if anyone could help! Its the evolution of an idea, so I pick a question and basically try to answer it or get new insight at the very least. I chose the question "Do we live more than one life?", so if you have any thoughts to add or would like to discuss then please post! Thanks for your help!
It is odd that the good books say not to worship the symbols but the understanding. However man does not take well to a spiritual job ... that's spooky and he is afear in the dark. Last night on Jeopardy they introduced a question regarding misanthropy as the "hate" of mankind. Webster states the word means "fear", but then fear is the root of hate ... and caring, well; that is another matter ... ante mana? Ides worth digging into: mana of understanding.
