I’m not sure if they still do, but in those early training school days of my retail career, I was up in suit-and-tie and on my way [...]]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/the-new-day/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/whos-your-daddy-cherry-trees-and-christmas-surprises/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/whos-your-daddy-cherry-trees-and-christmas-surprises/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:46:30 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1156 Who’s Your Daddy? – Cherry Trees and Christmas Surprises

He gets left out of the Christmas story quite a bit as he seems to be there to uproot Mary and get her off to Bethlehem for a tax census and then scoot her out to Egypt, and that’s about [...]]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/whos-your-daddy-cherry-trees-and-christmas-surprises/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/even-so-lord-patience-in-the-time-of-great-anticipation/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/even-so-lord-patience-in-the-time-of-great-anticipation/#comments Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:59:46 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1142 Even So, Lord – patience in the time of great anticipation

Even So, Lord – patience in the time of great anticipation Maybe it is my own infirmity and my impatience with it – for some reason the daily news causes dis-ease in my soul this quiet Advent season.
