Healing

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…]

Stuck Inside: Not All is Lost

March 29, 2020 by ReverendAmanda

I will be honest. I don’t like being stuck in the house. I don’t like isolation. I have been social, since birth according to my parents, and so for me social distancing has been difficult. For many of you this has only been in place for a few weeks now. But for me with a … [Read more…]

Welcoming and Inviting Communication

November 24, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

We communicate a whole lot before we even open our mouths to speak. If we are aware and invested in the relationships around us sometimes words are not even needed to communicate needs. Children do this all the time as they are developing their communication skills. I myself have had to rely on these other … [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…]

Rules, Rules, Rules

August 25, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

So in my experience rules can be good at setting appropriate and needed boundaries and at other times rules can be little more than a way to hinder progress and good works. Rules can save lives and rules can prevent the help of another person. I read a book called The Power of Habit by … [Read more…]

What Kind of Peace Do You Desire?

April 14, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

I am reading a fascinating book titled Savage Continent by Keith Lowe that focuses on the aftermath of World War II in Europe. It spends a long time outlining what life looked like for citizens and the masses of displaced peoples who had been imprisoned in work camps, concentration camps, and prison camps throughout Nazi … [Read more…]

From Conflict to Life Giving Forgiveness Part 2: The Meaning of Grace

March 17, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

The earliest known written record of laws was the Code of Hammurabi in 1754 BC. Amongst their many laws is a very familiar one: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This generally means that whatever actions are taken against you then legally you can act out the same actions in retaliation. … [Read more…]

From Conflict to Life Giving Forgiveness Part 1

March 10, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

This is the first Sunday in Lent. I think many people no longer know the purpose of Lent. Lent came into being as the Christian time of atonement. During this time, we are called to reflect upon the previous year, our relationships with one another, and how Christ died forgiving those in his life and … [Read more…]

A New Focus in Life: Our True Call as Christians

February 17, 2019 by ReverendAmanda

Sometimes we live our lives for our own experiences, for our own purposes, and for our own convenience. This is what we are called to place aside when we come to faith. We are called to start putting the needs of others first and to fight against the injustices of the world. We are asked … [Read more…]
