One of my fans has asked for updates on what I'm doing in confirmation prep with my one and only confirmand...
Last Sunday afternoon we thought about Creation and the Creator. I read Genesis 1:1-2:3, really slowly, and he made a picture of what it sounded like. I think I might have done 7 (or at least 6) pictures, but he choose to put it all in one - he doesn't 'do' art. No prob.
We mused about whether or not the scientific creation story and the biblical one are mutually exclusive... are there lifeforms somewhere else? Why just us?
We looked at a lovely glass artist's image of Earth from space...
We listened to Bette Middler's From a distance...
We looked at some pictures from the Hubble telescope...
and then I showed him some tools for studying the Bible: my Hebrew-English Tanakh, (woe is me - I've lost almost all my Hebrew, so hardly achieved) a synopsis of the gospels, a concordance, different translations, some Greek words...
and it was time to go! how quickly 2 hours passes!
Homework: find some other creation stories, start to learn the Lord's Prayer.
See you next week!

I have had this one version of the lord's prayer in song stuck in my head for over a month!! I sing it in the shower, I sing it at work, I sing it at night before bed...I'm becoming a broken record.
