A Sunday (45) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: Mother/Pastor
Normally, I say I am a pastor/mother, not because I identify with or value being a pastor over being a mother. It’s because I can’t separate being a pastor and a mother. I don’t necessarily have that problem with being a mother. To my kids, I am just their mother. However, this past week, I…

Lessons Learned in the Intergenerational Worship Experiment
In a previous post I asked “what is intergenerational worship? Is it merely people of all ages being able to worship together? The simple answer would be ‘yes.’ I believe it is more than that. At the church that I serve, intergenerational worship encompasses the full diversity spectrum of the congregation. Not only does it address the…

A Sunday (44) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: Post-Its
My son’s school is right across the street from my church. The benefit of this is that after I pick him up from school he can hang out in my office as I finish up some last minute to-do list items. Luckily my son has no problem entertaining himself. His favorite thing to do is…

A Sunday (43) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: the Family Business
This last week was one of the busier weeks for the family. In the midst of my husband’s church meetings and mine, we have to fit in soccer games, dance lessons, tae kwon do, and play dates. A typical weekend can look like this: My husband leaves Saturday morning to set up for the food…

Interactive Prayer Stations on World Food Day
My brothers and sisters, what good is it if people say they have faith but do nothing to show it? Claiming to have faith can’t save anyone, can it? Imagine a brother or sister who is naked and never has enough food to eat. What if one of you said, “Go in peace! Stay warm! Have a…

Interactive Prayer Stations on Good Samaritan & Love
But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. (Luke 10.33-34) I was asked to design interactive prayer stations at my seminary around the story the Good Samaritan, love, and issues of power.…

Interactive Prayer Stations on Hunger Awareness
The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” (John 21.17) Our Missions Team declared October to…

A Sunday (42) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: Grief
Chewy past away last week. He had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of anal cancer last year, but with surgery he made it through another year. We found out two months ago that the cancer came back and spread throughout his entire body. You could tell the vet was struggling to give me the…

A Sunday (41) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: Prodigy
A prodigy is a young one who possesses exceptional skills and talents. For example, when we think of musical prodigies, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart comes to mind. And who can forget Tiger Woods showing his incredible golf skills at an early age. There are many infomercials on TV to help your baby read early. I see toddlers…

A Sunday (40) in Life of a Pastor/Mother: Exercise
It may be hard to believe but this was me in college as a cheerleader. I used to also run track. It’s been about ten years since I exercised – well on purpose. Exercising used to be such a part of my identity and I remember the day in the doctor’s office when I actually…
