A Really Late ABC Wednesday
T is for...what else???
TURKEY
OK, so these turkey's are a little, let's say, unusual. They're from Gozzi's Turkey Farm in Guilford, Connecticut. Yummy, I'll take the magenta one. Check out more ABC entries at ABC Wednesday.
Journal. Diary. Copious Notes. Musings. Thought. Reflection. Observation. Welcome to A Thin Place. All of this, maybe more, is a record of my year in Jerusalem - the thinest place on earth.
A "thin place", in Celtic tradition, is someplace, anyplace, where the spiritual world and the mortal world come so close to one another that you almost see, definitely feel, and maybe even can touch the presence of God. I suspect that my life in Israel will contain moments of clarity just like this. The opaque will become translucent, the hazy clear, and God's presence a reality.
After serving congregations in Fairfield, Bridgeport, and Wilton, CT I am the Senior Redevelopment Pastor at Orange Congregational Church in Orange, CT. Prior to that I lived in Jerusalem (the real one) and I have three GORGEOUS children, the loves of my life.

OK Suzanne, what IS this?? What's the deal, are those turkeys real?
Unusual is right!
Yes, I fly on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day in the morning (sung to the tune of "I Saw Three Ships").
Now I've seen it all. Colored Turkeys.
An Arkie's Musings
It takes a turkey to know a turkey.
