Lenten Journey, Tuesday Feb. 23 by Tracie

By acfumc

I awake this morning, once again, to snow falling from the sky.  It has been an unusual wet, cold winter for us, or maybe not.  Maybe it has been more of a normal season and the previous dryer, warmer ones were the seasons in conflict.  Regardless, I know the world I live in is a… »

Lent Readings and Musings 1st Friday

Is mortal existence a risk for the soul that the spirit takes?

By acfumc

A curious thought by Robert Frost:  “But God’s own descent-Into flesh was meant-As a demonstration-That the supreme merit-Lay in risking spirit-In substantiation……..We may take the view -That its derring-do-Thought of in the large-Is one mighty charge -On our human part-Of the soul’s ethereal -Into the material.” (Excerpt from In the Clearing)
Is Frost right? Is mortal… »

Lenten Readings and Musings

Robert Frost: A Cabin in the Clearing
“…Smoke They ‘ve been here long enough
To push the woods back from around the house
And part them in the middle with a path.

And I begin to fear they never will.
All they maintain the path for is the comfort
Of visiting… »

The Commandment of Love: A Christian Manifesto

Earthworms?

By acfumc

If people were like earthworms, then maybe they could grasp some of the greatness of Christ.
They take the garbage and manure of life, the discarded waste of humanity and turn it into some of the richest, healthiest dirt designed by God.  That enriched soil then gives nutrients to the plants of creation which within the… »

Peace In Our Personal Chaos

By acfumc

In times of difficulty there seems to be great volume of wisdom to which we can turn.  In the 1960’s Paul McCartney of the Beatles wrote that in times of trouble we should “Let it Be.”  It made a great song and letting some things be is certainly wise.  As they say “let sleeping dogs… »
