    Pastoral Ponderings

    Pastoral Pondering October 2020

    Dear God,    Is it even possible I’m writing to you for our October Newsletter?  “Where did the time fly?” Isn’t that what “old people” say?     Time is such a funny commodity.  Here’s a list of things we say

    Pastoral Pondering September 2020

    Dear God,    I’m confused on how we use the words “godly/Godly” and “Christian”.    If I say someone is a “very Christian person”, what does that mean if the individual displays “virtues” of intolerance, intransigent ideas, ideas of nationalism

    Pastoral Pondering August 2020

    Dear God,    I worry a lot with a mix of insecurity.  I’ll call them “worricurities”.    I try not to worry or feel insecure, but it happens anyway.  To be certain, I try not to show it.  The last

    Pastoral Pondering July 2020

    Dear God,    Racism and Discrimination are the ugly step-siblings of all that is beautiful in your world.  It seems, when I look through human history, that these siblings are ever-present in human history.    Why is that?  After all,

    Pastoral Pondering June 2020

    Dear God,    The Psalmist asks, “How do we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?”    I know I’ve talked with you about this before, but that question keeps going through my mind.  How do we “Do church”

    Pastoral Pondering May 2020

    Dear God,    “Help us!”    I wonder if that isn’t the most fundamental prayer of all humanity?     But then when I thought about it, I realize there’s an even more fundamental prayer:    “Help me!”    As a

    Pastoral Pondering #2 April 2020

    Extra! Extra!  Read all about it! Congregational Worship Services Suspended Dear God,      Come on, admit it God.  Haven’t you once, just once, prayed for a “snow day”?       Remember when you were a kid (Well, maybe all the human

    Pastoral Pondering April 2020

    Dear God,    Your world is in the midst of a crisis.  Surprisingly, there are still people who say this is a crisis created or made worse by “The Media.”  Since “The Media” has become a favorite whipping boy for

    Pastoral Pondering February 2020

                 Dear God,              You may have heard that I’m retiring.              Actually, I know it sounds funny to some people, but I believe you’ve been telling me to do so. My prayer life, even in it’s worst days, is

    Pastoral Pondering January 2020

    Dear God,      What will the New Year bring? We’ll see.      There’s a parable I’ve read many times over the years which helps me to place all things in perspective and look at life with a sense of allowing
