Summary of Ordinary Life for October 2, 2022

* * *

Dear Ones -

I want to begin this by reminding you of some important upcoming events. All of the details regarding these can be found on the Ordinary Life website.

First, there will be an Ordinary Life Happy Hour this coming Friday evening. The gathering begins at 6:30. The last one was well attended and one person said to me, “This gives me an opportunity to meet and know people I see on Sunday but don’t get to spend time with.” Indeed.

Second, the same might be said for the lunch that follows Ordinary Life this coming Sunday. So, plan to stay after class for a meal and a time of social sharing. There is no charge for this and it is something we do a couple of times a year. I truly hope you can plan to attend.

Third, On Wednesday, October 26 there is “An Evening With Kate Bowler.” Someone pointed out that I needed to include the full title of one of her books. It is: “Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved.” I recommend it to you. The time is 7 p.m. until 8:30. There will be light refreshments and childcare is available.

This week in Ordinary Life, Holly Hudley and I co-taught. We called the time -

Walking With Both Legs

Though we are on a journey to where we already are, we can lose sight of this in the “blink of an eye.” We need a map and a GPS. Once such source we have been using is the “Grail Story” myth. We need to balance this with the feminine. Holly speaks to this. She introduces us to “fifth wave feminism” and some of the people who have influenced her. He also begins to give an overview of the “heroine’s journey.”

That’s a brief summary of the talk.
