Forgiveness

Broken Relationships

July 12, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

I love the stories of Genesis because they really get to the bottom of human relationship and human life. They are not preached on often and many people struggle to figure out how to find the lessons in these stories for today’s modern life. But the lessons are there. These stories are examples for us. … [Read more…]

Generating Love for a Better Life and a Better World

May 10, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Mother’s Day is a time when we honor and remember the influence that our mothers have had on our lives. However, I fully recognize that for many people this relationship may not have been defined by love, support, nurture, and care. Traditionally these are the terms that are associated with motherhood. So this morning, I … [Read more…]

A Christ Centered Life: Open Minds and Compassionate Living

February 2, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

We all make snap judgments all the time. We have to. Otherwise, it would take all day to make it from bed to work. The other morning my alarm went off and I had to make a judgment call to push snooze or get up and get ready for the day. Then there was the … [Read more…]

A New Life; A New Commitment

January 12, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

Now there may not be too many of us who have experienced adult baptism, or can even say that they remember their baptisms. My first baptism happened when I was 5 months old and recovering from chicken pox. I have no memory of my first baptism. My second baptism was done by the same clergy … [Read more…]

Leave the Door Open for the Coming of Christ

December 24, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Every year, on Christmas Eve I traditionally have the children place baby Jesus into the mangers. He is never there before Christmas because Advent is meant to be the season of expectation and a time for us to work on displaying welcoming hearts. But this tradition has struck me this year as reminding me of … [Read more…]

A New Perspective: Can You Hear God Talking?

November 3, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

This week I was sitting at home one evening watching the Nationals play the Braves in game 6 of the World Series, and I was playing around with a Facebook quiz. The quiz said they could determine my generation based on my pet peeves and then proceeded to ask me a series of questions. One … [Read more…]

Christian Spiritual Practices: Community and Care

September 29, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Living in community and caring for one another is another of the Christian Spiritual practices that often gets overlooked and underestimated. Community was important right from the beginning of Christianity. We know this because where Christ said, “Wherever one or two of you are gathered there I will be as well”. A Christian community is … [Read more…]

Christian Spiritual Practices: Devotion

September 22, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

This week we look at the idea of devotional time. For many people devotional time congers up very specific practices like daily prayer time or those little books I have out for people at the holiday times. But devotional time is not that specific. It is anything that we do that shows our commitment to … [Read more…]

Christian Spiritual Practice: Prayer

September 15, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

In graduate school, many years ago now, I was home visiting my parents. I loved running out by my parent’s house. It is so rural out there and just so beautiful and peaceful.  Running was where I could lose the world around me, listen to some music, and talk to God. Having not grown up … [Read more…]
