art and faith

There is a conference in Austin, TX coming next April that I want to attend.

This is not going to be what you might expect out of Texas.

I am determined to go, and I am particularly looking forward to hearing David Taylor and Eugene Peterson speak.

lenten season closes

Last night was Good Friday.

We celebrated? with our friends at the Bamford’s home. And it was good.

I feel that I did not really take the time to pause and reflect this season. I felt rushed during the day yesterday, and I think that ultimately was the state of mmy heart for the past 40 days.

Tomorrow is Easter. We will go to South Mountain at sunrise to welcome the resurrection into our lives once again.

Then we will go to Tempe to be with our homeless friends.

Then to my sister’s house. Easter always makes me think of Polish food.

africa and water

Hey friends,

I know that it seems as though there are many ways to spend your money in Africa, but this is a project in which I am participating. A friend of mine has a connection to an organization in Ethiopia that helps children who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. Please check out how you can get involved in our project of shipping donated emergency water filters to Africa. We just need to raise the cost of shipping.

I just started reading Rob Bell’s new book, and I am really digging it. The subtitle is “Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality and Spirituality”:

When a human being is mistreated, objectified, or neglected, when they are treated as less than human, these actions are against God. Because how you treat the creation reflects how you feel about the Creator.
