Explain it to a Kid

I left the Ash Wednesday service thinking about how I would explain the smudges on my forehead to my children. I formulated & reformulated explanations. I tried to arrive at one that would be accurate, understandable, brief and convey what I wanted to my children.

What a tool for exploration and growth of one's faith & beliefs figuring out how to talk about them with kids can be!

Try it out! Pick any topic you want, or go with the one about the ashes.

Where did you struggle? What insights did you gain? What questions did you discover?

Processes like this can be happily invigorating or horribly scary.
Rest in God, let the Spirit lead you.

My Blogs are Back!

Finally everything seems staightened out! I'll be able to write again!

Anticipate updates about once a week here and/or at http://www.agrown-upinchurch.blogspot.com/.

I hope you'll join me in thought, conversation and action.

Why No Posts?

I guess you could call it technical difficulties.....I haven't been able to get access to post and I'm not 100% sure how I got here this time!! At least I'm here, which is progress. So...hopefully this isn't the last post you see for a long time again....if it is, now you know why. If worse comes to worse, check the comments on this post....I may end up deciding to start all over, on either a temporary or permanent basis....If I do I'll post the new address in the comments here (I seem to be able to post comments on my blog, but nothing else.) So, back to trouble shooting....and hopefully writing again soon!
