My maternal Grandfather was a compendium of folk sayings. Always prefaced by “Like the old fellar says…”, they were colorful, memorable, and usually at least obliquely funny. So I guess my mom came by her collection of similar sayings honestly enough. I can remember a few, but one that has stuck with me very well, […]

This Week at The Table – March 30, 2014
I can be oblivious – the last person in the room to be aware of the environmental, relational, or spiritual reality of what is going on around me. As you can imagine, that isn’t generally a good thing! So working at being more aware is a perenial and necessary task for me. If there is […]

This Week at The Table – March 23
Hey all…this week I’m going to try to connect the dots between an ancient/future innovation process that is getting a lot of current buzz and ways in which we can “unblock” our spiritual growth. That’s all I’m going to say about that, because having made the commitment, I still have to figure out how I […]

This Week at The Table… – March 16
In the midst of my curling game last week, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. Whether it was from physical indigestion or a guilty conscious, I couldn’t tell. But likely both. En route to the game, I was in a pinch for time with a growling stomach and a light wallet. Just then, […]

This (late) Week at The Table – March 9
With my apologies for the lateness of the blurb (we are migrating our website and email programs to a new server – no small task), here is a quick glimpse of what is coming up. This week, I have decided to demonstrate the intriguing link between snow removal (and the occasional limits of the same) […]

This Week At The Table – March 2
Hey all – this week we will be continuing our “Spiritual Songs” conversation with a “guest” from within our community, Donavan Heiken. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying our preperatory chats, and am very excited that Donavan is available to do this. Here is her take on where we’re headed…. “Greetings Tablers near and far, I am […]

This Week at The Table – February 23
In Ephesians 5, people that want to make the most of life and live it wisely are instructed to “speak to one another psalms, hymns and spiritual songs”. These songs, the writer goes on to explain, come from the heart. It’s like some songs are written in a different language…one that sometimes seems to bypass […]

The Table is Going to Graceland
At some point in my mid-teens it donned on me that I was, in fact, a music nerd. It was probably during my freshman year of high school that I was struck by the realization that not everyone took any money they earned directly to the nearest record store and handed it over in exchange […]

This week at The Table…
At breakfast yesterday morning Tayah suddenly said, “Did you know that a pigs heart is almost like a human heart?”. Now there’s a picture to carry into the day… As it turned out, there was a context for that info. The day before, Tayah, Tirian and Corinne had been helping out at a transitional school […]

This (Frozen) Sunday at The Table
I know I chose to live here (came but for friendship, stayed for love…), but it has been a longish stretch of deep-freeze cold. Conversations about the weather these days seem to be almost uniformly negative, and with the exception of my mechanic I haven’t met very many folks that are loving this. And, as […]
