This morning I decided to brave the cold weather and headed over to the picnic area at Benedict Park here in Tulsa. I’m trying this new thing this week, where I’m following a worship pattern similar to the one our community used when I was in seminary:
Mondays: Moving Meditation Tuesdays: Morning Prayer (mostly from Evangelical Lutheran Worship) Wednesdays: Holy Communion (from various liturgies) Thursdays: Meditation (mostly focused on breath. Perhaps a Psalm or reading) Fridays: Prayer for the Healing of the Nations/for the Healing of Creation
I’ll be trying to post videos here for those of you who are (wisely) free from Facebook. It may take me a while to figure out how to pull this off. What you see here is my first attempt. Let’s hope it works!
I'm a dozen years into this "professional ministry gig" (if you count seminary), and still kind of wonder how the heck I got here. Been pastoring a weirdly wonderful congregation in Tulsa, OK, many literal and cultural miles removed from my home in one of Detroit's first-ring suburbs. As a holdover from a previous life, I'm a recovering museum nerd, having somewhat accidentally chosen living history museum work as my first career post-military. Temperamentally, I'm an INFP (according to the MBTI) and a Self-Preserving 4-6-8 Enneagram Tri-type, but that 6 might actually be more dominant than the 4. Still working all that out. As is my family: wife, 2 lovely children (a boy and a girl), a Yellow Lab named Sunny, and 3 domestic shorthair cats (Otto, Oscar, and Miss Juniper Cleopatra Tiana Martin).
