Joy, I got nothin'! - Beth Morgan

I've been trying to think about this subject of “joy” for a few weeks now and felt like “I got nothin'!”. I'm pretty sure that one of the ideas behind this communal blog is for each contributor to be inspired by the offerings of another and, fortunately this week, James' post found itself a part of

Bring 'em On - Aaron Alford

His back ached. It had been a long day, and the sun was relaxing by the hills in the west. Shadows lengthened on the dirt the children ran on. He was drawing in the sand with a little girl whose name he couldn’t quite pronounce. He drew a smiling face, and she echoed it back. He adjusted his feet

Ode To Joy - Aron Smith

The word “joy” has numerous associations for me, many of them musical in nature. There is Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” the last movement of his famous Ninth Symphony. There is “Joy to the World,” both the Christmas carol and the Three Dog Night song about Jeremiah (the bullfrog, not the prophet). And l

My name feels sullied among the circle of knowledgeable peers. I’ve gone through many emotions, both foreign and familiar. I’ve been

Bob's Testimony (I Stand In Awe)

The last few posts here in the Fire Bowl have been on the subject of forgiveness. As I (Chris) write this, it is the Thursday before Good Friday of 2012. Forgiveness is a good thing to think on in this season. And as we head into the joy of Easter and Eastertide, I thought it would be fitting to

"the weight has been lifted" - Stephanie Mullen

Forgiveness and I have been through a lot together.   I was in a relationship for five years that was progressively abusive, verbally and physically, and the aftershock on my self-worth was something fierce.  Our break-up was even more tumultuous than our relationship, but we somehow remained fr

Forgive Me - Aron Smith

Growing up, my father had a pithy aphorism for every occasion.  I didn’t always agree with the sentiment, and often I’d roll my eyes in disdain.  Not that again.  Nevertheless, some of these bon mots have stuck with me over the years.Let’s see… There was tempus fugit (Latin for “time flies”), “as
