"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

My Place Tonight...

I know it has been some time since I have written or posted on here. Been a bit distracted with moving into my new apartment (the parsonage) above Dunnigan's Pub. Also, Bar Church and reading have been taking up some of my time. Seems like I have been in a reading mood this summer- since I last commented on what I have read I think these are what I have read: "Rock Priest" by David Pierce, "Life Together" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, large sections again of "The Barbarian Way" by Erwin McManus, "Freedom of Simplicity" by Richard Foster, and part way through "The Myth of the Christian Religion" by Greg Boyd and "The Politics of Jesus" by John Howard Yoder.

Hopefully, I will again be writing more soon. Have been spending quite a bit of time with the barishoners at night and while doing so thinking a lot about Jesus and who he hung out with and what he was accused of and what he was called as a result. Mind blowing to me to think about what God did and where God went. Jesus is amazing and a complete counter-cultural subversive revolutionary for the Kingdom of God! Can we really believe we can be any less? We are called by the King to come and follow him...Amen!
