daily thoughts on the common lectionary
"...because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together — by trade they were tentmakers." Acts 18:3. Tentmaker is a title taken by bi-vocational pastors. As such, I am both a pastor and a project manager. I am a pastor of a local congregation of moderate, accepting and affirming people who worship in the Baptist tradition. We call our church "Hope Memorial Baptist" and we are about 40 in number. I am also a project manager of major construction projects for the State of Georgia. My home and church is in rural Coweta County, between Peachtree City and Newnan, with a mailing address of Sharpsburg, Georgia.
Here the whole worldThe Epitaph on the marker at the grave of Joy Davidman Lewis.(stars, water, air,Like cast off clothes was left behind
And field, and forest, as they were
Reflected in a single mind)
In ashes, yet with hopes that she,
Re-born from holy poverty,
In lenten lands, hereafter may
Resume them on her Easter Day.

I keep saying I'm going to write something totally cool for my epitaph but then I remember I plan to be cremated and ashes thrown - you know - wherever...so guess I won't be needing one.
THIS ONE...totally cool!
