Sunday, June 28th, 2015 Pentecost 5 – While we were Away

Posted by Anna Rybat on
 May 3, 2016

Wow, you go away for a couple of weeks and a lot of things happen. We were in Yellowstone and the signal is a little iffy so I pretty much shut the phone off after we left Mammoth Hot Springs and went touring through the park and so it was with much consternation that I […]

Sunday, May 3, 2015 Easter 5 – Abundance conquers Want

Posted by Anna Rybat on
 August 18, 2015

Where does it go? We ask ourselves that question from time to time. We look back on our lives and wonder where the time went, we push back from the table and wonder where the wine went, we watch our kids grow and mature and live their own lives and we wonder where our lives […]

We play a lot of games in our household. We have a lot of help, we’re not just sitting around playing games we have friends who come over, a colleague of mine in Novato is also an avid game player and Debbie’s whole family, the Lutheran side of it at least, has a long tradition […]

We’re not there yet. There being where we are going. There being the ultimate goal, there being the ultimate end of all that lives, of all that is or was or is likely to be until Jesus comes. The worst part about it is that there has been there out there in the distance, on […]

Here we are again. Here we are in the season of sharing and caring and cooking of large meals for large groups and lifting of glasses and passing of serving dishes and laughter and handing pictures of the newest grandchild around, made less convenient these days when the pictures are all on someone’s phone and […]

I love a parade. I realize that’s terribly old-fashioned, but I love the simpler, more pastoral pleasures of life. I like fireworks. I like county fairs. I like English Pub Quizzes. I like hand-dipped corn dogs. In a world of electronic doo-dads and media entertainments everywhere you look, there is something honest and satisfying about […]
