God talk

So I've been meaning to write about more than just tech stuff and linguistic pedantry on this here blog o' mine. You'll notice there's a lot of categories with only one or two posts in them.

In particular, I've been meaning to write more about my spiritual life. Something keeps hanging me up though: it's that the language is so divisive. Some of you who stumble across this (*chirp* *chirp*) for the tech stuff will likely be turned off by terms like 'God talk' and 'the Spirit' and 'Kingdom of God'. That's why I split the blog into categories, each of which has its own RSS feed. But still, I hesitate.

Well, I'm setting that aside. Let's say I'm giving it up for Lent (a bit late). But I'm going to start relatively small, with just a few pointers to cool Jesus-related things I discovered this morning. But first let me say to those of you who are cringing at this post already, I hope you'll be open to my talking about a different kind of Christianity than is commonly encountered; if not, I hope you'll feel free to skip the God posts and read the rest.

And without further ado...

My sister sent me this link this morning—oh how I love it. I'm enamored of Moleskines, to begin with, and then the sketches are just cool.

I was also listening to a sermon by LeeAnne Watkins+ as I made breakfast. She's a phenomenal preacher, a Wise-Woman and a real mensch. I've known her since I was in high school doing diocesan youth ministry, and I was thrilled to find her sermons as a podcast.

That's all I've got for now, as I look toward Holy Week. If you're in town, you'll find me at the UEC and St. John's. God be with you.
