There are multiple ways to share the A Deacon’s Musing blogs. One way is to organise them based upon such categories as Fiction, Poetry and Visual. Another way is to sort them around Features such as Feather’s Fall, TEDx, The Story of Then or Vignettes, I suspect there is no perfect way to do it. Each hopefully speaks to a particular reader of seeker’s interest or however the muse might be whispering upon each visit. An archive, therefore, feels like an appropriate way to further share these various reflections. I hope, then, that this page proves as one additional way to further engage and create conversation!

Knowing a Prophet!
I was once at a Presbytery meeting in Northeast Saskatchewan and, as is the wont of United Church folk, we were discussing Justice stuff. We like to talk about Justice in UCC circles – in fact it is often one of the glues that bind us. And in that time – I think we were revisiting discussions around uranium and our involvement in the global trade of nuclear technology and its impact on lives and the environment, when someone piped up and said, “Why are prophets so grumpy?” There was a pause and then laughter …
