INVITATION to A LENTEN JOURNEY

I would like to propose a journey together, an exploration of self and who you are called to be.

As a Spiritual Director, this is just one of the many ways that my work manifests itself – guiding people through self-exploration to identify their calling.

The idea for this invitation came about when I was talking to my kids about Ash Wednesday. My daughter asked me what I was planning to give up and I told her that I didn’t know yet. As I was reflecting this evening, I first thought about HOW I wanted to reflect during the next 40 days and that was when it came to me. I’ve decided to give up my solitude on this journey.

I will admit that I don’t have a grand plan or curriculum in mind. But for the next 40 days, I intend to share my thoughts on this journey. Sometimes, I expect I will be sharing my reflections on a topic related to this journey and invite you to reflect on that same topic. Other days, I may simply offer a series of questions for you to reflect on without sharing my own thoughts or feelings. I can’t make any promises because I intend to let the Spirit guide me.

So, if you are interested in this journey, look here tomorrow for a link to my blog where I will compose and post these daily thoughts. For those of you who attended one of the congregations I served, you might think of this as a daily Adult Religious Education class of personal and theological exploration. For those of you who think about your relationship with God, you might see this as invitation to explore more deeply about your relationship with God and how God is calling you. It is my hope that both groups and everyone in between will find this a rewarding journey.

Namaste,

Todd

Lenten Journey: Emotional Exploration – Anger

So, I’m just going to dive into the proverbial “deep end” of the emotional pool – Anger. I have chosen this one to start because it is a complex emotion for everyone and because I had a particularly challenging experience with it that I’m still processing. A few years ago, I was going through a credentialling process with the Association of Clinical Pastoral Educators. I’ll cut to the chase and share that I was not successful in my endeavor which was a great disappointment because I love teaching and I’m called to pastoral care. For the most part, I have made peace with this outcome because time has intervened and I’m appreciative of the choices I have made in the last few years that were somewhat facilitated by that outcome. I also made peace with it because I can truly say that their decision not to credential me didn’t have anything to do with me. In fact, as far as I could tell, I wasn’t even there. That is to say, the committee that I met seemed to have created their own versi...

Cancer Journal - Monday April 20th

I went in for my final infusion this morning. My labs were all good. My platelets dropped below 100 but only to 98 so that’s practically stable. My white blood cells actually went up (by 1/10 of a point). The doctor was very encouraging about my blood labs. She noted that a lot of people don’t get past the third or fourth infusion before their blood chemistry is significantly impacted. Meanwhile, not only have ALL of my different blood cells stayed in a safe range for most of these treatments, my other blood chemistry results (sodium, potassium, other things that I can’t pronounce) have all been incredibly stable throughout these treatments. She made me feel like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of chemotherapy patients. So, I got my infusion this morning and, when I was done, I got to ring the bell that you get to ring after your last infusion. I will still be going in on Wednesday since my protocol involves a slower infusion through a pump that I’m attached to for 44 hours. Then, ...

Names and Labels (Top Posted)

Welcome! I’m going to start by talking about Names and Labels and explaining the Name I have given to this blog. Names and Labels can be so constraining and revealing at the same time. They put us in boxes of assumptions that go along with those names and labels. They can lead us astray by setting up expectations that any of us can be fully defined by our labels and names. At the same time, they can offer a glimpse into our identities that, as long as they are understood to be simply a beginning, can offer some insights into how we see ourselves. As author Bill Bryson wrote in The Mother Tongue: English & How It Got That Way , “…there must be some conventions of usage. We must agree to spell cat c-a-t and not e-l-e-p-h-a-n-t and we must agree that by that word we mean a small furry quadruped that goes meow and sits comfortably on one’s lap and not a large lumbering beast that grows tusks and is exceedingly difficult to housebreak.” So, yes, Names and Labels have meanings...
