Keri Wyatt Kent's Connecting eNewsletter Archives:

  • January, 2008

          "Now comes the hard part of winter, when the holidays are over. Here in the
         Midwest, it’s been cold and snowy for a month or two, but the season is just
         getting revved up. We’ve had ice storms, snow storms. We’re supposed to get a
         January thaw this weekend, although I know winter will return with a vengeance.
         It’s never really over around here until well into April."

  • February, 2008

    "There is a part of me that tends to live in the future—to look forward to things that are going to somehow improve. While I am very good at making plans, I miss out on whatever it is I’m in the middle of."

  • March, 2008

          "Of the spiritual practices I teach on, few inspire a stronger response than 
         Sabbath-keeping. Most people love it, or hate it. Well, maybe not hate it. Perhaps 
         it’s more that they are convinced that it would be impossible in their season of life
        (no matter what that season is). Others were injured by Sabbath legalism in the
        past and completely reject it. "

  • April, 2008

          "What does it mean to love your neighbor? When someone asked Jesus about this,
         he responded with a story, about radical kindness—about a Samaritan who went
         out of his way to care for someone who probably disliked him. Jesus gave the
         example of a person who loved across ethnic and religious lines, who helped
         someone who despised him. Jesus said loving your neighbor sometimes means
         offering real help, even if it's inconvenient. It means loving those who are different
         from you, even those who don’t like you."

  • May, 2008

        "Just as you receive this newsletter from me, I also receive a few newsletters from 
         other writers and ministries.
 This week, I received my friend Karen Mains’
         newsletter, Soulish Food. (You can read it below as our guest column.) As usual,
         Karen’s musings were thought-provoking. One paragraph especially struck me. She
         talked about “the writing life.” Like a lost pair of gloves, Karen felt this life was
         something she once had, but had lost somewhere along the way. She’s done
         ministry with her husband David for decades (they did Chapel of the Air radio
         ministry, and now run MainStay ministries). The demands of ministry edged out
         that “writing life” she wanted."

  • June, 2008

           "Summer can be a time when things actually do settle down—or not. We get
          sucked into the trap of thinking summer is endless and put off what we really
          want to do. We see wide open days and rush to fill them, rather than relish them."

            Read the entire June 2008 issue!

  • July, 2008

        "One of my favorite spiritual practices is one you don’t hear much about: the 
        practice of play. But it seems an appropriate topic to consider during summer. Play
        is an important part of what I call Sabbath Simplicity—a sanely paced, God-focused
        lifestyle. To live in Sabbath Simplicity means we have slowly crafted a life-giving
        way of life—and it may look different in your life than it does in mine."
