So the story goes

In the beginning, so the story goes, God began creating.
In a garden, the divine one breathed life into the adamah, the very earth.

And we became.
Praise to the creator!

We gather to remember whose breath   gives us life.
Praise to the essence!

We gather to reconnect with the essence within me, within you, and permeating all that is. Praise to the god of relationship!

Holy one, we pray, “Animate us. Touch us. Heal us. Move us to breathe deeply of your love”
“Move us to share your breath of hope and promise in a world in desperate need of you. Amen.”

Tim is a runner, a hiker, a devoted husband, a father of two adult children, and their spouses, and a grandfather of four perfect children. A former early childhood educator, Tim is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served as pastor of both Disciples and United Church of Christ congregations. As we enter what we hope is the final phase of the pandemic, Tim is beginning a journey of rediscovering himself and discerning next steps. He writes from his home in Albany, Oregon and wherever the Spirit lures him.
