Swimming Lessons: Reflection, Relearning, Renewal

On Apr.02.13 , In Life Transition by

Recently, I figured out that I took my first swimming lessons 55 years ago.  Yes, I was 10 years old when I started at the YMCA in Decatur, Illinois.  Once I got over my fear of the water, I had a good time swimming, and I really liked to swim. Once again, I am taking [...]

Community As A Place That Supports Transition

On Mar.04.13 , In Life Transition by

The past few weeks have been interesting as I engaged in reading about the concept of intentional community, shaped around the principle that one is called to love God with all soul, strength and might and then to love one’s neighbor as one loves self.  My reading has helped me to see that community can [...]

On Jan.21.13 , In Life Transition by

After the past two newsletters, people contacted me about transitions in their lives.  Some of these voices have been blasts from the past and others have been folks with whom I am often in touch.  The contacts have been about transitions in life and they fall into one of two scenarios.  One type is from [...]

  • Reflections From A Wittenberg Coffee House-The Joys of Transition

    I am back.  Had a great weekend in Berlin visiting a friend and greeting other friends who are arriving in the country.  Even the 12 hours at the airport on Monday was a good thing as I was able to meet and greet participants on the Lost and Found Luther Fest 500.  It was a [...]

  • REFLECTIONS FROM A WITTENBERG COFFEE HOUSE-IF THESE STONES COULD TALK

    Today was a day of settling in. Busy day as I worked with life transitions. The ministry team of Wittenbergers supporting Wittenberg English Ministry are just astounding. One of the guys spent part of the morning helping me work through banking and phone issues. We also just have great times talking. One of the Wittenbergers [...]

  • Reflections from a Wittenberg Coffee House – Life and Listening

    Today I began my Wittenberg English Ministry (WEM) by “myself” but not really.  I said farewell to Elizabeth Schnabel who served as Deputy Director until I could arrive.  She was so helpful to me in the short time we worked together.  As she left, I suddenly had to remember things.  That was I when I [...]

  • Reflections from a Wittenberg Coffee House – What A Day!

    WHAT A DAY!  Jet lag is a strange partner.  I woke up at 5 a.m. listening to some of the most beautiful bird calls ever and began to prepare for my day.  Had a wonderful German breakfast and then it all started. I had this one day to be oriented to what I am to [...]
