Request
I would like to dance now, dear. I would like to sway with you and still (stay Still, now) in the silence; we meet here. Do not take me from this place- When the pulse of practicality Beats as a drum in our ears. I would like ferocious laughter, dear. I would like belly-shaking laughter- […]

Post-finals Considerations
I think entropy has something to do with this mess. But I am no physicist.

Teach Me Some Melodious Sonnet
I found a little old book on the shelves of the Pasadena House of Prayer (PiHop) last night. Dear Madeleine’s A Cry Like a Bell. I sat on pillows on the floor, turning hurried pages. My eyebrows were tall all throughout that worship set. (I didn’t mean to mis-write, and then strike the “pain.” But […]

(It won’t be long, now. I know.)
And you arrive, quietly, in the guise of sonnets in little books, in the comforting looks of friends in my dreams at night. Please do not pass me by, oh, I will be the dust waiting in the crevice of the ancient rock. Come, gentle wind, or violent storm– while my heart informs mind that […]

Well, Sound the Bells.
Turn off the crock pot. I’m done. Thank you for cheering me on. I liked that. The Klein’s took this photo in my last hours. I think it’s pretty creepy. I’m not certain why I’m sharing it. (Sorry.) What a crazy last five days, folks. :: 55+ pages written for class :: 55+ pages edited […]

This is What I Do
This is what I do to act like a child as I am writing 50 pages of papers for finals: 1. Make a faux finals-papers advent calendar. One for each page needed to be written for Fuller. Compose out of old newspapers. 1.5 Number from 0-50. Color with a black sharpie. (I love sharpies.) 2. […]

Back That Thing Up
My iBook has been acting fishy and slow ever since I dropped it last week. (Ooops.) I realized that no, I have not backed anything up since the summer. It is time. I’m doing it. And you should, too, kiddo. Confess it. When was the last time you backed up any of your files? Consider […]

Live the Questions, Now.
“Mystery should be a continual part of your life. You should always have more questions than answers. If your encounters with God don’t leave you with more questions than when you started, then you have had an inferior encounter.” -Bill Johnson, The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind

Streams for Sunday: Advent/Misadventure
It’s true. Advent is a misadventure, too much, too much. But it shouldn’t be, Charlie Brown. Can’t you smell the needly noble fir in the living room? There is a manger near.

Blog Envy
Every once in a while I find myself with a good case of Blog Envy. When I land on a really good blog my eyebrows get get tall (like my pride.) I read and scroll and click until I can’t sit anymore. I end up running to my bedroom to dump out my old-record-sleeve full […]

2 Months in California
Happy December. 2 months ago, I was boarding a plane for California. To commemorate this nice anniversary, I took Bruce Klein out on a date to In-N-Out Burger. (He just turned 10.) It was my birthday present to him. He was very excited for our date. I liked that. Me: “You can’t get In-N-Out just […]

The Thing Is
I have too many disjointed thoughts for now. I will make you another list. 1. I really enjoy editing people’s papers for them. (I especially like getting paid to do it.) It is a strange thing to enjoy fixing disjointed clauses. I think that makes me a word nurse. 2. I like it when I […]
