Dear sweet baby Jesus, I am a child of the 1980’s and with that came Nancy Reagan and the first lady’s campaign of “Just Say NO” this was about the “war on drugs” of course, which caused more hard than good, but for millions of elementary school students we learned to deflect peer pressure and… Read More
Saturday Prayer: God of Tomorrow
We’re asked to stay here, focus here, remain here in this moment, blessed Christ. But it’s too much. I need to dream of a better world, I need to think of how this will come to pass. I need to remove myself from this moment. Because here sucks. The world is falling apart and there… Read More
Pastoral is Political: Massacring the Good People of Bowling Green
Okay, I totally wasn’t going to write about this. Really, I mean besides being kind of funny on some memes – is it really worth talking about? I mean should I give my time to she who speaks lies? Unfortunately, yes, and in this instance she’s hit home for me. As this RevGal was born… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Death and Dying
2016, Rest In Peace. Not all of you want evil, but you sure were a force of nature. We pray for ends. We pray for death of fear and destruction. We pray for mercy. For as we bury this year we pray for comfort in the grief and celebration in life eternal. We pray that… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Waiting for Love
Love came down to rescue me, love came down to set me free. Love, it’s a simple word isn’t? Just four letters, such a small word for such a big purpose. You are the incarnation of Love, sweet baby Jesus. You are God incarnate. God, who is the embodiment of love, and all things that… Read More
Saturday Prayer: I’m Waiting
Dear sweet baby Jesus, you’re almost here. You’re getting big now and your poor mother is going to have to figure out how to get you the heck out of her stomach. Bless her heart. I will pray for her. I admit, it feels like you will never come, like I will be stuck in this… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Need a Little Christmas
It’s decoration day, O God. The day I pull out the red and green boxes of decorations passed down from generations. I unwrap each one with care, I admire it, and place it somewhere safe in my house. I hang twinkle lights that remind me of light in the darkness (or so I tell myself)… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Giggly Girls
For giggly girls at a slumber party. We Give Thanks To The Lord. For the innocents of young age, before boobs and boys, before objectivity. We Give Thanks To The Lord. For the opportunity to dance without judgement, where ‘girly’ can mean whatever they want. We Give Thanks To The Lord. Where no boys allowed… Read More
Saturday Prayer: Nasty Names
God why do we have to call each other such nasty names? It’s not that we can’t disagree, it’s not that we can’t argue, but does it have to come down to this? Stupid, wimp, fat, ugly, nasty. Sometimes we do it for no reason, sometimes because someone pointed out something hard, or did… Read More
Saturday Prayer: #thisis2016
The world gets inside my head sometimes. More than I would like. And I am angry. God, where are you? And how is it we have strayed so far from your radical word? “Love one another, as I have loved you.” When women are grabbed and their bodies assaulted because the world have told men… Read More
