Reviews by Gordon Atkinson - Real Live Preacher

Real Live Preacher is featuring a piece by Sarah Bickle, a woman from Dallas who writes about the things people have said to try to comfort her and her husband while their son is dying.

Rev. Nancy Fitz of Pastor's Post writes a piece about a foggy road, a car full of girl scouts, and the ascension of Christ.

The Painted Prayerbook - Jan Richardson offers thoughts about Ascension Sunday and a couple of links to some fascinating medieval art. Apparently it was all the vogue to draw the ascension with Jesus elevating into the air, only his toes showing. I've always thought that must have been a sad moment, such a profound change in their community. Jan reflects on the sorrow and new joy of finding new community.

Jason Byassee writes about a prison visit on the weekend at Theolog. I've been visiting at a prison before. I remember the quarters. It's a pretty big thrill for the inmate to have someone buy snacks and food from the machine. If you visit someone, do not forget your quarters.

Previously Featured at CCblogs:

I-YOUniverse - John Hamilton does a lot of writing about Martin Buber's I and Thou. He spins Buber, Anabaptists, and his own experience with loss into the question, "Who is Jesus and where is he to be found?"

Don't Eat Alone - Milton Brasher-Cunningham, our chef theologian got himself into a tricky spot the other night. The potatoes were not cooked, and the lamb wasn't ready. At the end of the night and in the following days, he thinks about what grace means.

Milton is such a gentle and careful thinker and writer. Seeing our theology ooze out in his sauces and crackle in his pans is a real delight. Don't miss this one.

Peculiar Preacher - Pastor Brett Younger finally made it to that Springsteen concert. 33 years late. To his surprise, he found abundant grace and grace-full people.
