Stop judging people and start helping them

Posted on: 09/30/2013 06:55

Many years ago, a friend of mine underwent chemotherapy. She found it a difficult experience, as many do, but what was most difficult for her was something she called “the stupids.”

One of the side effects of the chemo was that for nearly a year after, she could not think quickly or critically. It was almost as if something in her brain was blocking the processing of information.

She was frustrated, because as a creative and intelligent person, “the stupids” got in her way.

Open House/Welcome Party for New Wondercafe Members

Posted on: 05/09/2010 14:55

Time for a Wondercafe Open House in Honour of New Members!

I noticed on the membership page that there are all kinds of new wondercafe members who have joined in the last couple of days/weeks. I make the mistake of forgetting to welcome these new people to our wondercafe group. I also sometimes forget that new members might not understand my posts, if I refer to things that happened one or two years ago.

An Emerging Christian - or NOT?

Posted on: 11/01/2008 23:55

Having immersed myself in the literature of emerging, I now feel better about my place in the Christian Church, specificially the United Church. Although I grew up with the traditional beliefs, I gradually realized, now at the age of 63 that I choose not to believe in the supernatural aspects of our "faith" - that Jesus was the "son of God" who, after his crucifixion, rose from the dead, appeared to the faithful and ascended into heaven..etc.
