Excellent piece Nancy … the in-between places … may I link this in my email letter to the church here in LA?

I’ll remember – don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just roll it. Handy with teen age boys….

Ah yes, Dr. Rudy Clarenburg. What interesting places you and I have ended up in- never in a million years would have guessed. And we are not finished yet. Are your sermons on line? or too soon to know?

Thanks Nancy. Right now, I am using a bit of your second paragraph and your inbetween examples. And I will give full credit publically and footnoted.

I remember our pathology teacher (german…his name eludes me) saying, “One can only write so many good test questions…no need to reinvent the wheel”. Well, why try to improve on what is already very good.

Or as I heard the other day: I do not have to re-invent the wheel…I just roll it.

Thanks for the kind words, FrancesLee and Elaine. Elaine, yes you may quote me. I’m pleased you think I wrote something worth quoting.

Very, very nice. Sunday, I am using both Luke texts with a bent towards discernment as a spiritual practice. May I quote you?

Thanks,
Elaine

Thanks for sharing this. I think there is something particularly nice when we do something for another without knowing the other’s response. We’re doing because it is what we are called to do (love God, love neighbor), not for the “pat on the back” we may get from others.

I work A LOT during christmas… and the past few years, realized the spiritual center of our house (that’s me, well Jesus through me, you know) was missing out on making sure the kids were hearing the ‘full’ story.

this year we made an advent wreath, and each of us picked a name of one of our shut ins at church. we went ’shopping’ for fun little momentos, and as we go throught the story weekly, and we will send a few fun things biweekly, we draw pictures, write poems and stories, and send cards… sharing our joy in this ’sacred’ time together… giving to Christ by giving to them.

I don’t know if the ladies are overwhelmed, amused or blessed… but myself, my kids… we’re pretty excited. We feel the joy….
