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. Presidential campaigns are  always a stressful time for me, more since our people have once again become ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/even-so-lord-patience-in-the-time-of-great-anticipation/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/a-little-traveling-music/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/a-little-traveling-music/#comments Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:52:00 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1113 A Little Traveling Music

A Little Traveling Music The gospel accounts of the birth of Christ give us two different traveling moments, one before the big event, and one after. The most familiar to anyone who watches animated TV Christmas specials knows this one from Luke’s gospel, the most familiar Christmas story:   And Joseph also went up from ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/a-little-traveling-music/feed/ 1 http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/cussing-out-god-yes-its-christmas-time/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/cussing-out-god-yes-its-christmas-time/#comments Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:44:23 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=689 Cussing Out God – Yes, It’s Christmas Time

Cussing Out God – Yes, It’s Christmas Time It’s the Season of Advent. Eager anticipation. Hymns, Carols, Trees, Cooking, Parties, Family… the joy (and the stress) just seems to go on without stop. And we are supposed to be HAPPY! Guess what: a lot of people aren’t. For many people who are alone, who are ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/cussing-out-god-yes-its-christmas-time/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/lover-of-my-soul/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/lover-of-my-soul/#comments Fri, 03 Dec 2010 17:51:06 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=675 Lover of My Soul

Lover of My Soul I’ve been reviewing recordings of “The Complete English Hymnal” and re-fell in love with the hymn tune Aberystwyth (“Jesus Lover of My Soul“) and have been driving the neighbors crazy perfecting the octave runs. Goal: a new piano meditation for my Centering Prayer group as a “wake up” song. Learning this ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/lover-of-my-soul/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/what-inspires-me-alleluias-in-the-minor-keys/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/what-inspires-me-alleluias-in-the-minor-keys/#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:33:31 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=671 What Inspires Me? Alleluias in the Minor Keys

What Inspires Me? Alleluias in the Minor Keys Stave One: What inspires me? I fell upon doing a series of Advent meditations on “Veni Veni Emmanuel” this year after listening to my friend, Sandra Julian’s Christmas album. Especially “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence,” which is one of those songs in which the Angels hide ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2010/12/what-inspires-me-alleluias-in-the-minor-keys/feed/ 0
