Letting Go … Letting Love
I have the great pleasure to have been blogging since 2008. The practice started as The United Church of Canada began to imagine ways it might speak to those with whom it shares similar values, such as social justice, environmental concerns and relations with First Nations, yet were not in relationship. Since then, I have been humbled to have met and connected with people from around the world for whom A Deacon's Musing has been of interest.
I welcome you, therefore, to A Deacon's Musing's home. Take a look around and hopefully you will find something of interest. If you are a current reader and seeker, I hope this feels like a new place to continue our ongoing conversation. If you are new to the blog, I look forward to exploring where faith and spirit interact in our lives in the world. If there are topics or ideas you would like to explore, please do not hesitate to contact me!
With Light's Blessings,
#ShineOn!

Sorry … we haven’t tried to talk to ground-shakers before. Well, that’s what we call you, I think you use the word people? Humans? It’s rather funny to finally be trying this. It’s interesting, as long as we can remember, we never knew what caused all the shaking and why it didn’t regularly. We knew there was a pattern, but it was hard to figure out. We think part of the challenge for us – you call it time – life moves differently.

Every month I tweet #MicroPoetry! In 140 characters, they are part prayer, thought, reflection, challenge or something in-between. I look forward to sharing them with you and hope that they may lead to reflection,
