My morning went pretty smoothly (I have a dog who wakes me up at 5:00am, and service wasn't until 9:30, so I wasn't rushed)… but after my 2 1/2 hour much-deserved afternoon nap I realized I'd put together a lovely Easter look except for the fact that I'd completely forgotten to put on mascara… the ONE thing I ALWAYS wear.
Hi,
I absolutely loved reading your columns these past couple of weeks
Especially because I RETIRED two months ago. It was the best Lent, Holy Week, Easter Sunday. Ever.
Except, that I really miss all the people- young, old and in-between. And the mystery of the divine that weaves itself throughout the ordinary,daily lives of pastor and parishioners.
I’ve learned much from your writings over the years. Thank you so much..Looking back over the album of photos my son put together for my retirement celebration,it was comforting to see that I had the presentation and presence thing figured out better than I thought. Being 62, I struggle a lot with figuring out the makeup challenge. I LOVE makeup! But at my age, less is more. Your recent tutorial on brow makeup helped as I’m about the same hair and eye color as you. Thanks.
On a more serious note, the piece on the importance of a Academic Theological Education was spot on. My brother, a professor at a small liberal arts university runs into the same mind set you ranted about. The current generation of administrators at his university have been pushing hard for similar sorts trendy of programs. It has been insane for the faculty and even worse for students, who chose this institution precisely for academic purposes. And any potential students are no longer considering this university, because the administration is running the place out of the text book they read in Business Administration and Trendy Management 101.
Thanks again for your good work on the many faceted issues of clergy life. It helps us all be better leaders, preachers and disciples in our faith traditions.
Love this so much. Thank you for your honesty, it honors what we all go through for the sake of our calling. Wishing you lots of post-Easter peace!!
Damn you, PB, get out of my head! LOL
I smiled with you through this and it made me realise I’m not alone.
Easter Blessings,
xx
