well we finally got to have the safe church conversation all together in staff meeting. With theencouragement and leadership of our pastor we are making our own policy with provisions that would allow me to continue to be available for pastoral counseling. However, once a draft of our policy is complete, we will be submitting it to the diocese for ( Read more... )

so, in looking for a non Hindu "I love my navel" yoga workout I went to CBD online. there were a few decent looking yoga dvds, but there was this one that was called "Praise Moves- the Christian Alternative to Yoga" where the names of the moves all come from scripture.

Man.... so much happened, got hectic, canceled or postponed that I was ready to pop when I left thursday afternoon. At least God managed to keep me steady. In all honesty nothing was so critical that it was "life or death" and I shouldn't have let myself get as stressed as I did, but that's life.

I wish I could be there for all of you stressed, confused, ( Read more... )

Some people are lucky enough to not need that so much. Others of us are wired in such a way that we cannot function well without knowing that they are ( Read more... )

so just being curious, I found my dream grad program- but my GPA isn't quite up to snuff, and I'd have to take the GRE's that thought alone is laughable. Me? Standardized Tests? hahahaha. BU School of Theology has a Master of Theological Studies looks a lot like what I need. It's similar to their MDiv, but it's not really focused on ( Read more... )
