Barefoot before God

The texts for Sunday, August 7, 2011 are: 1 Kings 19:9–18; Psalm 85:8–13; Romans 10:5–15; and Matthew 14:22–33

Audio of sermon: Pentecost-L19A.2011

“… I can imagine not wanting to step out of that boat or to step out of that cave

because I know that I would fail.

because I know that I am tender-footed

and I would stand before Jesus, before the I AM, before the holy silence of God

barefoot, exposed, unprotected …

Maybe you can relate?”

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
