We are gathering Holiday Stories.  They can be inspirational, humorous or both.  It may be a difficult holiday or a grand one.  We invite them all!

Saint Someone

Write a story about a person in your life that you would like to elevate to sainthood. Pretend it's part of a saint bio book or list all the saints that have impacted your life.

I AM

Today, one of our hymns at church was "Here I Am, Lord"  What are some ways that you feel the spirit stirring in you...can you describe the feeling?  How do you live out your calling and what is your work for the great I AM? 

Rain

The rain has come to stay for awhile! As part of the Seattle culture or as part of a memory or comparison of/to another rainy place that you know, or just because, write about rain! 

The sermon in the leaves

It seems that leaves are all around us these days.  What can the lifecycle of a leaf - how it looks, the process it goes through, how they smell, what you can do with them, etc. teach you about spirituality.  Take a small or broad element of leaves - changing colors, their greenness in the spring, their absence in the winter - and write about it!

Can you hymn a few bars...

What are some titles of hymns (that you make up) that would be relevent to church nowadays or to your faith?  You can make a list or you can write a whole hymn!
