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, ...

Reading the Bible in 2020

I will admit that when someone tells me that they have read the whole Bible from front to back, I’m almost always skeptical. It is not that I automatically doubt every person’s integrity. It is that they almost always have a “tell,” the signal that gamblers look for when their opponent is bluffing. In this case, the tell is that they will say that they have read the Bible from front to back but then make no commentary on the crashingly boring parts, like the Book of Numbers. That book is almost literally what it is called, a book of Numbers. It is like reading an actuarial journal. Or even the genealogy in the Book of Matthew which isn’t nearly as long but still tedious. Or the violence in the Book of Joshua. Not so boring but startling in its violence that a reader is likely to note. Reading the Bible from front to back is challenging not just for its shear length but also because it requires perseverance when you get to the Book of Numbers. There are also places where the narrative...
