  • lenten journal: from my church to you . . .

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 23, 2014

    My offering today consists of parts of our worship service at Pilgrim: the call to worship, the prayer of confession, and our benediction. I was moved by the words and wanted to pass them along. Call to Worship Lent is the journey into the acceptance of mystery, a time of self discovery designed to lead…

  • lenten journal: a turn for the worse

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 22, 2014

    We took a long walk this morning through downtown Durham working to prepare for our walk of part of the Camino de Santiago coming up this summer. While we walked, a bunch of folks ran a 25K to commemorate twenty-five years of Merge Records. We were walking to end up at the end of the…

  • lenten journal: compassion competition

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 21, 2014

    Like many people in America, I’ve spent as much time as I could find the last two days watching the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. I enjoy the competition, whether I know the teams or not. And I would love for everyone to come down to the last shot, perhaps even overtime. The ability of these…

  • lenten journal: it’s complicated

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 20, 2014March 21, 2014

    I woke up this morning thinking about music not only because of my post yesterday but because I had tickets tonight to see Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle. Front row seats, thanks to my friend, Jay. So Ginger and I walked in the cool of this very first spring evening the half mile from our…

  • lenten journal: more songs in the key of lent

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 19, 2014

    As I was walking into work this morning, I found myself singing this song: many’s the time I’ve been mistaken and many times confused yes, and I’ve often felt forsaken and certainly misused oh, but I’m all right, I’m all right I’m just weary to my bones still, you don’t expect to be bright and…

  • lenten journal: life together

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 18, 2014

    I was a history major in college. I love the stories. And the history department at Baylor had some great story tellers. Robert Reid told of the rise and fall of the Greeks and Romans, Pat Ward appropriately skeptical insight on American foreign policy, and Wallace Daniel knew both Russian folktales as well as the…

  • lenten journal: true grit

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 17, 2014

    I’m excited the NCAA basketball tournaments begin this week because that means baseball is not far behind. I do love watching baseball. When my book came out, one reviewer commented that I must have included the chapter titled “Striking Out” just because I loved baseball and wanted to write about it. As I reflected on…

  • lenten journal: digging in the dirt

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 16, 2014

    I spent some time in the yard today. Weeding. We were promised more rain this afternoon, so I tried to get out ahead of it to weed the side of the front yard around the dogwood we planted a little over two years ago in memory of Reuben, my father-in-law. I learned the hard way…

    lenten journal: paint me a picture

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 15, 2014

    These two quotes crossed my path today. A person is a kind of sacrament: something made of molecules by which we become aware of something else which is not made of molecules. — Sydney Carter Christianity is art and not money. — William Blake Here is where they took me. paint me a picture bread…

  • lenten journal: pi(e) day

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham March 14, 2014

    Tonight marked the Second Annual Pi(e) Night here at our house. Last year 3.14 fell on a Thursday, so the inaugural event (please remember there is no such thing as a “first annual”) fell on our regular dinner night and we had a blast. Eleven of us gathered this evening — some veterans, some rookies…
