One of my absolute favorite writers was a guest on The Colbert Report last night. Seeing Anne Lamott discuss theology with Steven's right wing Christian persona is definitely worth a watch if you missed it. (Her dreads are pretty awesome too).
The opinions expressed here are solely my own. They do not represent the opinions of PC(USA), First of Annapolis, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary or any other organization with whom I am affiliated.
I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate.
Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students.
I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse.
I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the art to all that you encounter.
