  • Letting go of the binding grip of secrets...

    Number of comments: 1
    I just watched a History Channel program entitled “The Secret History of the Ku Klux Klan”. I’m sill recovering.

    I was feeling so overwhelmed by the horrific tales of violence and politic power wielded by these people for over a century that I called a friend in California in [...]

  • A Cat Named Juju

    Number of comments: 3
    I recently acquired a kitten--or, more accurately, she acquired me. They found her in the parking lot at my apartment complex.

    I was going to the front office area, the other day, to get my mail when I heard someone say, "ask Arlene!."

    I [...]

  • Evelyn and Laurie

    Number of comments: 0
    This is a true story about my friend Laurie and her mother, Evelyn. I've used it in sermons on a variety of topics, such as grief and redemption. I had lunch with Laurie yesterday, and as we were talking about our lives, both the blessings and the burdens, I realized' [...]

  • Where 've been all year...

    Number of comments: 1
    This has been a strange year. It was unlike any other of my life. I began 2009 in the hospital. In fact, I ended 2008 in the hospital.

    I don’t remember Christmas or New Year’s—I was recovering from heart surgery. I missed the inauguration, although I was in Washington, [...]

  • Communion Cartel, An Act of Faith

    Number of comments: 2
    It was about half past midnight, and the chilling rain that had gushed and gusted most of the evening was falling softly, silently, coating the trees that glistened like spider webs against the street lights in the Central West End in St. Louis.

    We got out of the car [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    I'm terribly late in sharing these images of the most recent acquisition to my Jesus Collection. I posted my original article here about my collection of Jesus images.

    Up to that point, I had bought all of them myself through various sources. I even' [...]

    I received an email this morning that brought me to tears, overcome with the emotion of generations of women who have been foring the trail of eqity. I had already heard the story and even watched the movie mntioned in the story below. But I was reminded of their great [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    Here's an interesting article about the handwriting of the three major presidential candidates.

    I don't think any one system/process/school of thought can reveal everything about a person. I think, instead, we can learn a lot about ourselves and each other in myriad ways. [...]

    Number of comments: 1
    A Delaware blogger named Mike 'tagged' me for a 'blog-memes,' which I had never heard of.

    The challenge is to write a four-word memoir. Actually, it started out as a six-word memoir and he got his down to five, so he asked those of us he tagged, [...]

  • The Feminist in Her Youth

    Number of comments: 1
    People have often asked me how long I've been a feminist. I probably slid out of the womb that way. I've always fought for justice as I understood it. But I can remember identifying with the women's movement at a young age.

    In fifth grade,' [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    I've tried my hand (and mind) at another 'formula poem.' Just a break from the Haiku. It's called a 'cinquain,' and it gives a little more wiggle room than the Haiku. Here's the stucture of the modern 5-line cinquain:

    Here's another Lenten meditation, this one for Maundy Thursday, first delivered in 2004:

    Scripture reference: John 13:1-17

    It was an ordinary meal, as meals go. They had eaten with Jesus on many occasions—in the homes of the faithful, like Mary and Martha; at table with tax collectors and' [...]

    Here's a Lenten meditation I first gave in 2004:

    I started going to Sunday School when I was three or four years old, and I loved it. I remember the corner classroom with all its sunny windows; the toys; the big board covered in soft, velvety blue felt where' [...]

    I've been writing a lot of Haiku lately, mainly as a writing exercise to get my creative juices flowing. I've found some different 'formula poems,' however, so I think I will try my hand at them for awhile. So this may be my last set of Haiku for the time [...]
