North Seattle Friends Church Blogs and Links

Danny Coleman
Post-Evangelical Quaker


I can only think of a handful of encounters I had with Christianity as a child.
One was when I spent the night at a friend’s house and went to church with them the next morning.
I remember the church interior being dark with wooden pews and a musty smell. I remember a wheezy organ and the people singing,

Bringin’ in the sheaves, Bringin’ in the sheaves,
We will come rejoicing, Bringin’ in the sheaves,

I didn’t know what cheese had to do with anything
and I recall being disappointed that they did not, in fact, bring in any cheese.

Christian Without the Pulpit

Welcome to Cosand's blog,
where a lifelong Christian tells about his thoughts
(be they oddball or serious) in a rather secular area.

Taking it one day at a time with a 4-year-old in Shenzhen

"RBT is home to the large, green-blue, jelly-laden monster of a smoothie
that is garnished with popcorn and a sprig of fresh mint."

"(we) set about investigating the raisin muffins.
They looked like they were trying to crawl out of their wrappings,
blobs of sickly yellow not-quite-muffins forming strange Kewpie-inspired swirls
that reached out to us imploringly. Nathan looked disturbed,
and Athena vehemently declared that she wasn’t going to eat one of those."

... some of the people we treat aren’t Mexican.
Some of the people have dropped out of the US scene.

This ... is from an AIDS patient I’ve come to know fairly well.
This is what he wrote to Sarah on New Year’s Eve.

Thank you for including me in your family in Christ.
There have been times when I doubted myself and my faith,
but all I need do is reminisce about the times
you and your staff have been there for me.
I have full confidence now that this is Gods work and I have been blessed.
