Catechisms and Cataclysms: June 2006
http://catechismsandcataclysms.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 10, 2006. Birmingham Bound, or Ga-GA. What happens when you combine a family reunion, the exhibit hall at the county fair, a multitude of multicultural worship services, and one very long committee meeting? Why, you have the (now bi-annual) national convention for my personal brand of the frozen chosen. Church geeks, get out your laptops and follow the bouncing ball through the legislation process as we bring you to General Assembly! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Catechisms and Cataclysms: December 2007
http://catechismsandcataclysms.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Of Pilgrimage, Guilt, and Social Change. I've included below some reflections - really unfinished thoughts - about the march and rally I attended for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Labor organization behind the Taco Bell boycott, earlier McDonalds post, etc.) The experience itself was invigorating and hopeful, and I even got to address the crowd, which was a thrill. Here is a link to the Presbyterian News Service. Am I a closet subscriber to works-righteousness? I am a ...

Me, Myself, Irene: April 2009
http://irenepak5.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Me, Myself, Irene. Thursday, April 30, 2009. Sharing Joys and Concerns. I have to share the sweet sweet story of one of my third graders today. So, every week in worship, we have a time where we share our joys and concerns and then we pray together. The younger kids especially love this time. Anyway, I told her that I'd definitely be praying and thanks for letting me know. She wrote, "Thanks Pastor Irene! So how are you? Do you have any joys or concerns? Just wanted to share that with you all today.

It went really well and I'm so thankful for all the volunteers and the kids that came! I pray you all are well! Thursday, July 9, 2009. There is nothing so wise as a circle. -Rilke.

Catechisms and Cataclysms: Things I Learned this Summer
http://catechismsandcataclysms.blogspot.com/2007/08/things-i-learned-this-summer.html
Monday, August 27, 2007. Things I Learned this Summer. 1) I really like living in my hometown. 2) Therapeutic lying is a riot. 3) My CPE supervisor thinks I'm "enigmatic.". 4) That said, I'm still really bad at anything that requires hiding what I think or feel. 5) The ordination exams aren't nearly as intimidating as I had feared. 6) My Preparation Committee knows me better than I think they did. 7) As much as I talk about the need to "preach prophetically," it scares the bejeezus out of me when I do it.
