Audio of sermon (a first person account of the feeding of the 5000 by a female disciple of Jesus): Pentecost-L18A.2011

” Don’t ask me how it happened.

Don’t ask me to explain how the bread multiplied

or how we had so much in the end. I don’t know…

All I know is this: we thought we didn’t have enough

but, instead, we had more than what we needed.

We thought there was nothing in that deserted place

but in that place we were blessed in that place we were fed in that place … we were healed.”

I am, well ... me. I am probably most defined by my diversity of experiences: I have lived in three countries and visited (or lived on) six continents. I love to garden and take pictures and think about theology (and grace and justice and all that jazz) and I love Jazz (and a whole lot of other music too) ... and I do yoga and go hiking and enjoy meeting new people and talking international politics and working on justice issues and watching wildlife in my yard and wandering in NYC and kayaking. I especially love sitting in coffee shops and talking to friends. I hate sitting in my office. Oh, and they call me "Pastor," at least some of the time. View more posts
