Welcome from
Eric O. Ledermann  Hey! Thanks for stopping by. Pour yourself a cup o' jo,take a load off your feet,and check out what's here. You are looking at my ramblings about issues of faith,life and culture—they are my own and are not necessarily shared by those with whom I work,live or otherwise engage. Heck,a week from now I may not even agree with what I write here! The Spirit of God is always moving;always shaping and reshaping,transforming and re-forming,each of us according to God's hope and vision for humanity. I hope we may be able to listen,pay attention,and respond faithfully. To steal a phrase from our UCC sisters and brothers:"God is still speaking." Feel free to share your comments and engage in any conversation that may be happening here,but just know that I do reserve the right to delete any spam or anything I deem inappropriate or offensive. I look forward to dialoguing with anyone who cares to dialogue! Peace and blessings,
 | It is a new year with new possibilities brimming from untapped potential. It remains to be seen what the new year will bring,but here is what I hope. I hope that I may grow ever more aware of God’s presence in my life and in the lives of others (the latter being the more difficult for me sometimes) in both difficult and joy-filled times. I hope that I might branch out and try new things,paying attention to my fears but not letting them control my decisions. I hope that I may pay more attention to potential and possibility,and not get bogged down in the “but,what if” syndrome (“but what if” it doesn’t work?;“but what if” this that or the other thing). The truth is,we won’t know until we try! I hope that I may be more intentional about connecting with the people I love [...] | |
