A Church for Starving Artists

Although I’ve taken a slight break from posting until I finish one of my writing projects, this day cannot pass without some special recognition.

On this day of our Lord, July 10, 2011 . . .

– I and all my clergy colleagues in the PCUSA become Teaching Elders rather than Ministers of the Word and Sacrament

– My elder friends in the PCUSA become Ruling Elders rather than merely Elders (elders rule!)

– Faithful LGBT teaching and ruling elders can legally serve in all congregations that call them to serve

– My husband, my realtor, and a good friend in Richmond all celebrate birthdays.

– It would have been John Calvin’s 502nd. 

It’s a big day.  Let’s celebrate accordingly to the glory of God.

Note: On Saturday, June 25, 2011, I hit the wrong button and deleted 5 1/2 years of posts in my blog.  After feeling sick for a couple of days, I did what all theological thinkers do:  I wondered why it happened.  Here are my Top Five best hunches:

5.  Because I don’t read the fine print

4.  Because I’m looking for a job (and that post about the fairy princess could come back to bite me)

3.  Because nothing says Moving to A New Place like losing things (still haven’t found the salad forks)

2.  Because God likes Word Press more than Blogger

1.  Because I’m supposed to be writing something else.

In these weeks (months?) before employment, I’m working on two projects and I covet your prayers in the process.  A Church For Starving Artists returns with regular postings asap.  Please check back.

And thanks for reading. Your commentary/words of encouragement still welcomed.
