My Favorite Part of Future Tense (and That I’m Relieved is Over): Future Tense, week 4

I’ve loved labyrinths for a long time, especially since a walk I took through the labyrinth at Sunrise Ranch in Loveland about 10 years ago. It was a time of major transition in my life, and turning through its tangles as the sun was setting one evening felt like unraveling my heart.

The Return of the Paper Newsletter

It’s been about 5 years since we last had a monthly paper newsletter at Foothills (what was then called The Intercom).  At the time, there was a sense that people weren’t really reading the (longish) newsletter, and it was A LOT of effort (and postage) to produce it each month.  Since then, we’ve tried all sorts of ideas to get information out, some more and many less successful.

Food and community go together so frequently that it is almost impossible to separate the two.

The Other F Word (Future Tense: week 1)

After Nate Donovan’s capital campaign testimony last Sunday, a few folks asked me if he almost said “the f word.” I laughed and said, well, I guess it would’ve been Nate’s “f word.” Midway through, see, he said, “this is our chosen f-f-f—I can’t say that word!…spiritual tradition.”
