My EFM class did a GREAT Theological Reflection on today’s Gospel lesson. So, I’ve not much else to add to the discussion on this blog that hasn’t already been said. I enjoy TR’s and these excercises are some of the best ” ah-hah” moments of my EFM studies thus far. Amen.
This week in Year Three of EfM, we are studying The Crusades. Now I admit that really do not know too much about this period of Church history. Since I am a visual thinker, I’m in the process of finding maps to aid me in my study of this period of history. So far I [...]
I’m studying the Early Church documents, councils, ect in Year 3 of EFM. Whew! There is no doubt in my mind that today Arius would be considered a radical heretic. His argument against Trinitarian theology{ God as Three in One} not only got him into a heap of trouble back then, but I would bet that most bishops [...]
Yesterday during our weekly EFM { Education for Ministry} seminar, it was my tern to give the annual ” Spiritual Autobiography” I’ve discovered that every year that I do this excercise, it becomes slightly easier to do *AND* I am lead by he Spirit to share { and omit} different parts of my Christian journey.

It’s that time of year again….soon I must present my spiritual autobiography to my EfM seminar group. Thankfully I still have two more weeks to polish this years’ version of my spiritual autobiography, but its gonna be very different from the past two years’ autobiographies. I’ve grown a lot since last summer & a lot [...]
My computer had to go to the ” shop” last week. My bill for the repair of my machine came to a whopping 169 dollars. Ouch. Granted, the tech guy pretty much revamped ALL the programs on my Dell laptop & cleaned out several viruses but the repair bill really took a huge cut from [...]
I am so behind on this blog…again. Anyhow at last week’s EfM it was my turn to give my spiritual autobiography. This year went MUCH easier than last year, but at the same time it was so dang hard to discuss the art about why I left the other church & how painful that was [...]
”The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald Ha, I love me some F. Scott. :O) Anyhow, this quote really ” speaks ” to me. I get really frustrated with an [...]
Yep…Its that time of year again, friends. It is time for me to write my spiritual autobiography for EfM. It might be just a tad easier this year.. since I am no longer brand new to EfM but it still isn’t gonna be easy. This year I am gonna focus on the ” Steppingstones” of [...]
Oy…I am behind in blogging. Anyhow, my EfM seminar group started this past Tuesday. I’ve missed it: after one year of EfM I am convinced that this is one of the * best* resources for Episcopalians! I went through Year One at the recommendation of a priest whose opinions I trust & value & at [...]
