Tuesday's Text
The stories of Scripture tell ways that God works in the world.  But they're not the only stories of the ways God is working.  The Spirit lives and moves and breathes among us.  Today.  SO how do we make connections to the stories of scripture and the sacred stories of our lives?

There are absolutely no right or wrong answers or questions or comments.  You can comment anonymously or with your name.  And feel free to comment and piggyback off of one another.  Some of the texts will be familiar, others will be just plain weird.  That's the beauty of Scripture.  

We are living in the midst of God's continuing story in this world.  I look forward to sharing stories and comments and questions with you!

Wednesday Witness
Remember the old Spiritual that goes "Who'll be a witness for my Lord?  I'll be a witness for my Lord."?  It's not a word we Lutherans use very often, but it's a great word.  Witness.  How do we see God at work?  How do we tell the story of God at work in the world?  How do others see God working in and through and around us?  Each week, we'll feature someone, either through my writing or their's as a guest blogger, who can share a little bit about he/she sees God at work in the world around them.  They might be members of Peace, they might be folks I meet on the street, or others in our greater church who are willing to share.  If you know someone who might be willing to share, please let me know!


Wild Word of the Week
My friend Emily has an awesome blog called "Life Breathing".  I love reading her insights on faith and life and the amazingness of the world around us.  She inspires me.  Check out her blog, either by clicking here or on the link on the side of the blog.  

Each week she posts a word of the week and invites people to send in photos that relate to that word.  I love the idea and thought it would be perfect for the Wild Word Project.  So I asked it if I could steal the idea and she, being the gracious lady she is, said "of course."  

Since one of the goals of the Wild Word Project is to watch for the ways God is at loose in the world around us, why limit it only to physical words?  God speaks to us in many ways and gives us many gifts.  And you all are invited and encouraged to share your gifts and the ways you see God working through the lens of your camera (or, as is often the case for me, the screen of your phone).

This is how it works.  Each Friday, I'll post a word.  You all send your photos to pastorkirsten(at)gmail.com and I'll post them the following Friday.  It's super simple and lots of fun!

I'm looking forward to seeing your photos and sharing them on Fridays!



Sunday Devotion
Each Sunday, I will post a short devotion based on the same text we discuss on Tuesday's Text.  Right now, it as posted as a video that you can listen to from the blog, but the goal is to have it available as a podcast that can be downloaded through iTunes to your iPod or other MP3 player.  Stay tuned!
