A Huge Sigh of Relief

Last updated on: July 3, 2008 at 12:43 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I am so massively relieved to have finally put up Part X of the Spiritual Journey series, I actually feel a bit dizzy. I’ve honestly been working on that sucker since October–October!–and I’ve lost track of how many drafts I’ve thrown out over the months. It’s been hanging over my head like an unkept promise the whole time. And to think I started this project last summer because I thought it would make an easy series of writing prompts! Just...

Lifestyle Changes OR: How my Kitchen Sink and my Gall Bladder are Conspiring to Save the World

Last updated on: June 28, 2008 at 10:55 am By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I am a typical American in so many ways. I battle a waistline that bulges as a result of my ready access to so many edible goodies. And I produce more than my share of carbon and other waste, as a result of my ready access to so many consumer goodies. Both my body and my carbon footprint suffer the effects of that American disease, affluenza. I’m not especially good at battling either one. I’ve gained weight over the years.... Read more

Lifting Rocks

Last updated on: June 22, 2008 at 6:02 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I spent most of today’s meeting for worship lifting rocks. That may not sound very much like worship, or very much like fun, but, in fact, it was both. Here’s how it went: Very often, when I enter the meeting room at Mt. Toby, I pause a moment just inside the door, and let the richness of the waiting silence rise up in me. For just a moment, I like to savor the sense of standing at the edge of... Read more

Growing Together in the Light: Spontaneous Thanks

Last updated on: June 17, 2008 at 6:28 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

One of my favorite bloggers, though his posts are not so frequent as I might wish, is Will T., of Growing Together in the Light. Today, scrolling randomly through the lists of places my visitors came from on their way to my blog, I encountered a link to a post of Will’s I hadn’t read before, from 2006. I haven’t anything to add to it, or any insightful comment or anecdote to carry it into some new territory. But I... Read more
