What do you really want? Those questions shape our grocery lists and lead us to new restau- rants. But after the meals are over, the questions remain and reveal more than our culinary preferences. Our hunger involves body and spirit. Satisfying that hunger is a lifelong pursuit. What does your soul crave? Where will you find the bread that your spirit wants? What do you really need? The soul food for which we long can show up in a shared bowl of braised collard greens, and the uplifting harmony of your favorite song, and the soothing voice of a friend who listens thoroughly. The food our souls crave leads us to communion. A sanctuary table covered with bread offers food for our spirits and invites us into Christ’s community. Sharing bread can satisfy all our hungers. Whenever we prepare a new edition of Reflections, we pay attention to details and deadlines. Dinnertime approaches, so you set the table and make sure something edible is on it. All of us take care of our responsibilities. But in our best moments we rise above the routine. We remember what is essential and that makes the difference. A group of Plymouth Church writers gathers around a library table to ask what God wants us to hear in the parable of the tenants, the healing of Bartimaeus, and a section of the psalms. We feast on the conversation for four Sundays. Rachel Sciretti’s 13-year-old daughter sees her mother working on her assignment and says, “Let me help.” Anastasia creates a devotion that inspires the one Rachel writes. Caro- line Smith reflects on her devotions as her children splash in the ocean. When someone shouts “shark,” Caroline’s heart stops as she scans the waters, then sees a pod of over 60 dolphins, which they watch for an hour. She thinks about her Scriptures, realizing again that things are not as they first appear, and that when we take time to focus closely on what we see, fear can become joy. As you look for daily bread, remember that the Bread of Life, the satisfying food for which we’re always hungry, waits to be shared. Carol Davis Younger About the Writers Aimee Day Yeager (January 1-4) is minister of youth and community outreach at Webbs Chapel United Methodist Church in Denver, NC. Tom Allen (January 5-11) has spent 21 of his 30 years in ministry as minister of education and administration at First Baptist, Southern Pines, NC. He and his wife, Beverly, have two daughters: Hannah, who’s married to Zach, and Sarah, a senior at Meredith College. Tom enjoys gardening, freelance writing, and making the best peanut brittle and pimento cheese you’ve ever tasted. Jennifer Baxley (January 12-18), a physical therapist, lives in Athens, GA with her four children and husband, Paul, who is the Executive Coordinator for the Cooper- ative Baptist Fellowship. She spends most of her time driving kids around in a minivan, but she also enjoys teaching a children’s choir, watching college sports, and finding a little creative energy for writing and music. Rachel Sciretti (January 19-23) is pastor of discipleship at Chapelwood United Methodist Church in Houston, TX. She is wife to Michael and mother to teenager Anastasia, ’tweener Zoe, and preschooler Nathaniel. Carol Davis Younger (January 24–February 1), editor of Reflections, lives in Brook- lyn, NY where she and her husband, Brett, love Plymouth Church. She’s convinced that churches need writing groups and enjoys making the case for why that’s true. Irie K. Price (February 6-12) is a freelance writer, a yoga instructor, and a lay leader at Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX. Drew Herring (February 9-15) is the pastor of West Main Baptist Church in Dan- ville, VA, where he lives with his wife, Jenny, and son, Judah. Drew felt stretched by God’s Spirit as he wrote about the scandal of God’s presence in our ordinary lives, particularly because the assignment reflects on John the Baptist’s death during the observance of Valentine’s Day. Daniel Headrick (February 16-22) is associate pastor of Northside Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, and is a former litigation attorney. He is married to Jenney and they have two children: Mary Frances, 11, and Joseph, 9. Daniel is currently writing, “A Baptist Catechism,” to introduce middle school students to Christian faith, history, and Scripture. David Sapp (February 23-29), a retired pastor, has continued to write, preach, teach, and serve with organizations devoted to ethics, media, Sabbath, and Cath- olic-Evangelical relations. He has also read a ton of books he wishes he had read a long time ago. None of these, however, have given him as much joy as his role as grandfather. Erin Robinson Hall (March 1-7) received her doctor of educational ministry degree from Columbia Theological Seminary. She co-hosts the podcast, “Glass Half Full,” and leads in media and engagement for the video and podcast series, “Three Minute Ministry Mentor.” She loves sharing laughs with her husband, Jake, and her second-grader, Logan. Erin blogs at erinrobinsonhall.com. Plymouth Church Writers Group, Brooklyn, NY (March 8-21). Participants wrote the following: March 8—Jaime St. Peter; March 9, 12—Jacque Jones; March 10—Inga Knets; March 11—Fran Vasquez; March 13, 20—Caroline Koster; March 14—Mardi-Ellen Hill; March 15—Christy Stewart; March 16—John Leighton; March 17—Donalda Chumney; March 18—Molly Martinez; March 19—John Scaduto; March 21—Paula Fichtner. Caroline Smith (March 22-28) is the pastor of Wilton Baptist Church in Wilton, CT. She is the moderator of the Baptist Fellowship of the Northeast and serves on the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Missions Council. She loves scuba diving and time at the beach with Josh, Bella, and Noah. Sharlande Sledge (March 29–April 4) is associate pastor at Lake Shore Baptist Church in Waco, TX, where she has ministered over thirty years. Most days her ministry focuses on what’s “within three feet or so,” as Carrie Newcomer sings: planning worship, a hospital visit, the person at her office door. On other days she may center on a need in Ghana or on the Texas border. Whatever the day holds, the beauty of words and walking in the world outside her window always shapes it and helps her live gratefully. Brett Younger (April 5-11) is senior minister of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. After three years in New York, he feels qualified to give directions to tourists. He and his wife, Carol, are glad to have two grown sons. Brett’s most recent book is Funny When You Think about It: Serious Reflections on Faith. Beverly CroweTipton (April 12-18) is the pastor of Zion UMC in Anderson, SC. She and her husband, Vaughn CroweTipton, associate vice president of spiritual life at Furman University, have two adult children. Two dogs are also part of their family: regal, smart, and obedient Jake, and cuddly, soft, and not-so-obedient Tucker. She enjoys reading, journaling, being a mom, and having family and friends around her table. Jolene Roehlkepartain (April 19-25) has authored 33 books. She blogs at books- byjolene.com/blog. Jolene enjoys spending time with her husband, Gene, and their two adult sons, Micah and Eli. She grows orchids, does family history, and is active at her church. She lives in St. Louis Park, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. Brent Newberry (April 26-30) is the pastor of First Baptist Church, Worcester, MA. He earned his MDiv at Truett Seminary, completed a pastoral residency at Wilshire Baptist in Dallas, TX, and is pursuing a DMin at Boston University’s School of Theology. He enjoys his dog, Zooey, fantasy baseball, good fiction, photography, writing, ramen, and being an Enneagram 4w3. Wednesday, January 1 Mark 1:12-15 Immediately is such a shocking word, with no allowance for dilly- dallying, or even taking one last deep breath.

    Sunday, November 29, 2020 St. Anthony of Padua Church 101 E Virginia Ave Effingham, IL 62401 (217) 347-7129 www.stanthony.com ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS My Dear Parish Family, It is almost incomprehensible to think that another year has practically come and gone. Indeed, here we are on the doorstep of the Christmas Season, these final four weeks is a time for we Christians to cleanse ourselves spiritually and make ready for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As the season approaches, we refer to this making ready as “preparing the way.” Advent guides us to explore what Christmas means to us personally and to discover that the greatest gift we can give to our family, friends, and the world is ourselves! Traditionally, Advent is a time of reflection and affirmation, with each week represented by a particular theme. Each week of Advent on Sunday, a representative Advent candle is lit. Catholic tradition states that the four candles, representing the four weeks of Advent, each stand for one thousand years, to total the four-thousand years from the time of Adam and Eve until the birth of the Savior. Advent is a period of time set apart for our exploration of faith, an inner search of our mind and heart. The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of our divine nature: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy. The themes of Advent allow us—through meditation, prayer, and affirmation - to contemplate ways to share our deepest gifts: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy.

  • Henry Howard - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Henry Howard - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henry Howard(1517 – 19 January 1547) Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey KG was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. <b>Life</b> He was the eldest son of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and his second wife, the former Lady Elizabeth Stafford (daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham), so he was descended from kings on both sides of his family tree. He was reared at Windsor with Henry VIII's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and they became close friends and, later, brothers-in-law. He became Earl of Surrey in 1524 when his grandfather died and his father became Duke of Norfolk. In 1532 he accompanied his first cousin Anne Boleyn, the King, and the Duke of Richmond to France, staying there for more than a year as a member of the entourage of Francis I of France. In 1536 his first son, Thomas (later 4th Duke of Norfolk), was born, Anne Boleyn was executed on charges of adultery and treason, and the Duke of Richmond died at the age of 17 and was buried at one of the Howard homes, Thetford Abbey. In 1536 Surrey also served with his father against the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion protesting the Dissolution of the Monasteries. <b>Literary activity and legacy</b> He and his friend <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-thomas-wyatt/">Sir Thomas Wyatt</a> were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid.

  • Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I the Workshop with a Single Drop of Ink for a Mirror, the Egyptian Sorcerer Undertak
    Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I The Workshop With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past. This is what I undertake to do for you, reader. With this drop of ink at the end of my pen, I will show you the roomy workshop of Mr. Jonathan Burge, carpenter and builder, in the village of Hayslope, as it appeared on the eighteenth of June, in the year of our Lord 1799. The afternoon sun was warm on the five workmen there, busy upon doors and window-frames and wainscoting. A scent of pine-wood from a tentlike pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak panelling which stood propped against the wall. On a heap of those soft shavings a rough, grey shepherd dog had made himself a pleasant bed, and was lying with his nose between his fore-paws, occasionally wrinkling his brows to cast a glance at the tallest of the five workmen, who was carving a shield in the centre of a wooden mantelpiece. It was to this workman that the strong barytone belonged which was heard above the sound of plane and hammer singing-- Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth..

This here is a book bound with beat, rhythm, rhyme, heat, heart, earth, heaven, hell, birth, death, well; the rest rests inside. These are poems that started as thoughts, therapeutic breathers, feelings, observations. They talked their way into existence, were written out, remembered, mastered, and spoken: That breeze of breath is written on these pages, etched like grooves on vinyl, singing inward and outward. Singing about topics such as love, subjects like native seeds uprooted. These observations are embedded with an ancient wisdom B.E.B stays intact with.

  • Cardigan Robert W Chambers
    CARDIGAN ROBERT W CHAMBERS PREFACE Those who read this romance for the sake of what history it may contain will find the histories from which I have helped myself more profitable. Those antiquarians who hunt their hobbies through books had best drop the trail of this book at the preface, for they will draw but a blank covert in these pages. Better for the antiquarian that he seek the mansion of Sir William Johnson, which is still standing in Johnstown, New York, and see with his own eyes the hatchet-scars in the solid mahogany banisters where Thayendanegea hacked out polished chips. It would doubtless prove more profitable for the antiquarian to thumb those hatchet-marks than these pages. But there be some simple folk who read romance for its own useless sake. To such quiet minds, innocent and disinterested, I have some little confidences to impart: There are still trout in the Kennyetto; the wild ducks still splash on the Vlaie, where Sir William awoke the echoes with his flintlock; the spot where his hunting-box stood is still called Summer-House Point; and huge pike in golden-green chain-mail still haunt the dark depths of the Vlaie water, even on this fair April day in the year of our Lord 1900. THE AUTHOR. CARDIGAN CHAPTER I 1 On the 1st of May, 1774, the anchor-ice, which for so many months had silver-plated the river's bed with frosted crusts, was ripped off and dashed into a million gushing flakes by the amber outrush of the springtide flood.
