Staying in Good Friday

April 19, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

It’s Good Friday. It’s been Good Friday for a long time.   It’s been a hard week. Things that shouldn’t bother me bothered me — a lot. Work, usually a place to separate myself from the heaviness of life, usually a place of laughter and camaraderie, felt too heavy to endure for another day. So,… Continue reading Staying in Good Friday

It’s All Holy Week

April 17, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

The Last Supper It’s Holy Week. And I’m feeling it, deeply. I’m feeling the tension and the betrayal and the fear. I’m feeling the despair and hope and wonder. There’s a lot held in these seven days. It dawned on me today: these seven days are our life. It’s all Holy Week. It’s all there… Continue reading It’s All Holy Week

I Can’t Change Your Mind

March 6, 2019 Anne Brock

To the person who feels the need to comment on every news story or Facebook post about the immorality of anything outside of the heteronormative life, I can’t change your mind. I know this, that’s why I don’t engage in that way. I know that if I share my story in the comment section I… Continue reading I Can’t Change Your Mind

Confirmation

February 26, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I mentioned a few posts back how I’m using The SALT Project’s Lenten study this season. It’s not too demanding – a reading on Ash Wednesday, then one for each Sunday and a few extra during Holy Week. There’s a Gospel reading paired with one of Mary Oliver’s poems. I’ve wanted to read more of… Continue reading Confirmation

Space

February 14, 2018July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions although starting last year I decided to pick one word for the year. That word is more of a guiding principle – not a resolution to be better or have a better life. The one word gives me focus when I start to feel off track; it reminds me… Continue reading Space

Permission

April 15, 2017April 14, 2017 Anne Brock

Written yesterday afternoon (April 14) Today I gave myself permission to quit. I don’t often quit things. I usually see it (whatever “it” may be) through to the end. Most of the time that works well for me, but sometimes it does not. Sometimes I follow through just because I think I have to, because… Continue reading Permission

Knowing

April 14, 2017 Anne Brock

Yesterday Bob Goff posted this quote and image on Instagram: This got me to thinking a little more about the reality of what Jesus experienced during those last few days. Sure, I’ve heard the story every year – I know the order, I know who did what. But today I’m thinking about him – about… Continue reading Knowing

Fences

April 12, 2017 Anne Brock

I’m going through my documents clearing away old ones that I haven’t looked at in years (I still had weekly youth group schedules from 2001!). In the process I’ve come across some interesting documents. One was of several pages of poems written by youth on a retreat many years ago – they were in high… Continue reading Fences

Space

April 10, 2017April 11, 2017 Anne Brock

I suppose much of my job is about creating space for people – space to explore and question, space to grow and learn, space to doubt and wonder. Until this past weekend, however, I had never really thought about my job in those terms. I co-facilitated a women’s retreat with my mom for women I’d… Continue reading Space

New

April 7, 2017July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

Today feels new for many reasons – First of all, yesterday I felt horrible. I ended up in my pajamas all day, which rarely happens. I woke up this morning feeling so much better, plus the sun is shining, which always helps. I’m grateful the sun set yesterday which provided an opportunity for the sun… Continue reading New
