TDoR Omaha 2013

2013 Week 36

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Omaha.  Some describe Omaha as a liberal city in an ultra conservative state.  I think if we really break it down, it might be something like this... A progressive, modern, and inclusive city in a state that is homophobic, divisive, and close-minded.

I know that for some, those words a bit harsh.  In my 45 years of life, they are accurate.  As a pastor, I see first hand how harmful Nebraska's law's and policies are for same sex individuals, couples and families.  I see how ignorance from those who live outside the urban areas hurt others at family gatherings, funerals and weddings.  

This is 2013 America!  Stop fighting each other!  Start fighting FOR each other!  Make peace, not war.  Share words of peace, love and compassion.

2013 Week 35

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Right-Relationship.

I am grateful for being in right-relationship with my best friend, my partner... my husband.  I teach that communication, commitment and compromise are the keys to all relationships, just as mine must be (and is!)

We just experienced a 5 day camping trip with 2 other couples.  This was not "easy street" camping with AC Camper or cabin with electricity; this was tent camping, with a 2am storm WITH raccoon's!   

This trip was in every way a much needed retreat to reset my mind, body and spirit.  I look forward to our annual trip in 2014.

2013 Week 34

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Pioneer.

Jose Sarria died this week at the age 90.  Jose founded the International Imperial Court System.  An organization that is responsible for raising tens of millions of dollars for charities since the late sixties.  Jose was a pioneer in LGBT rights and taught many to be responsible with those rights!  Jose was a friend of mine.  I will miss his visits on the phone.  And will always cherish such fond memories.

2013 Week 33

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Witness

 

2013 Week photo:

I drove to Wisconsin this week to officiate a wedding ceremony.  I believe that witnessing is participating.  Although I officiated, I also was a witness.  A witness to see how this couple interacted with family, friends, their children, under stress, when relieved, when emotional, just being human!  

I enjoy watching people.  I enjoy being a witness.  In how we drive, how we talk, how we act, how we learn, how we communicate, how we use words when we are angry, how we treat others.  How we are human!

I hope I apply what I learn to my daily life.  Always striving to be the best me possible.

Happy Sunday!

2013 Week 32

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

COMMUNITY

I could have easily chosen the word love.  Community will work this week too.  I got a call from a man whose partner had just been diagnosed with a terminal health issue.  They wanted to get married and insure that federal benefits would be in place since that now can happen if they are legally married!  They traveled to Council Bluffs and got married.  I asked for help for two witnesses who would also donate their time.  And I found two angels... Tina and Nellie.  When the ceremony and signing of documents was done they went to pay.  I said this ceremony, my services and these witnesses are a gift.  Go forth and share love, live life with love and be happy. We all new in that very sacred moment that it was a moment of great love and great community.  Taking care of one another.  AMEN!

2013 Week 31

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

FRIENDS.  I attended a local charity fundraiser and several friends joined me without me knowing they would be attending.  It was a small group and almost $300 was raised for a local pantry that serves thousands of folks without food.  It was a great night.  And I was pleased that I am surrounded by people who support me in making this a better world!
