Rev. James Howell: November 2013
http://revjameshowell.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
A blog by Rev. Dr. James C. Howell, senior pastor of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Homosexuality, We Methodists, and Thanksgiving. Two Facebook messages I saw recently have given me cause for immense thanksgiving, all the greater because of the deep sorrow involved. The first: a friend wrote to me, “I am just heartbroken over our church’s posture.”. I replied, “Which of its many heartbreaking postures do you have in mind? I knew, of course.

all the trees of the field will clap their hands: reflecting: Mark 4:1-20
http://treesclaphands.blogspot.com/2011/06/reflecting-mark-41-20.html
We’re involved. We’re invited to participate. Beyond the mere setting, we’re also invited by Jesus’ teaching itself. Jesus teaches by the lake, but hardly as some sort of professor. Rather than lecture, he tells stories in parables. Jesus uses these parables to involve us. To invite us into the story. To do the imaginative work of figuring where we are in the story. To form us rather than just to inform us. To leave us affected. What kind of soil does God’s Word land on in you? Where are you shallow?

But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. When I was a child my siblings and I worshipped with our parents and went to Sunday school before worship. I don’t remember much about Sunday school, but I have many powerful recollections of worship.

The late great Paul Prudhomme, who died last year, brought Cajun cookery to national attention with his 1984 classic Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen. His most iconic recipe was blackened redfish.

If you don’t like hot an...
