Birthdays All Around

[aeditimi]

The church and I shared a birthday this Sunday, and what a celebration it was. The sermon, “Variety Show” is uploaded in my sermon archive.

Prior to church, Husband made me chocolate chip waffles for breakfast. Good husband.

happy belated birthday! and I always love hearing your thoughts about your sermons and your church. I only wish my local version of your denomination had half your inclusivity; as it is I'm attending a Catholic church because that's considered liberal down here, um.

(if you have any interest, I recently wrote a snippet similar to your thoughts on the diversity of the Body in my writing journal. /self-pimpage.)

thanks for sharing your snippet! I didn't know you had a writing journal too. It's lovely, and I added it to my friends list.

Liberal catholics, eh?

But they do have a wonderful theology of the Body, and of the understanding that worship and life in Christ are fully embodied experiences. People make fun of the "smells and bells" sometimes, but actually, to encourage people to experience God with all of their senses is a powerful thing. I try to do that too. From my chosen denomination, since my former one wouldn't ordain me. Great theology of the Body, but the head of the body is Christ and since Christ was a man, all priests have to be too...

Open flames aren't so bad in the sanctuary...I managed to do that this year.

Just don't practice in the school parking lot, because the police will come. I found out the hard way!

Do tell! either story, in fact, sounds interesting.
