Tagged: dad, grief, grieving, lament

No logic here with this set of photos. Except maybe I was in the mood for some color tonight. I was working on some photos from our West Seattle sunset and found some old stuff on my flashcard from our stopover in Sweden on our way to the Middle EastContinue Reading

Review Your Day with The Prayer of Examen

2019-03-21
By: Andrew
On: March 21, 2019

Years ago I stumbled across St. Ignatius when I was taking a class on the Reformation in college. I was drawn to the Jesuit order and to the spirituality of St. Ignatius almost immediately. It was a bit counter intuitive because I grew up in the Protestant tradition and shouldContinue Reading

You ever walk away from an experience and have a deep sense that something HOLY just happened? My trip this week to the United Nations was one of those. First of all, how in the world did I get to this place, at this time, with these people? Well, watchContinue Reading

All of the people today at the Amazon super-vax si All of the people today at the Amazon super-vax site were amazing!! I thanked the people on the logistics team as they got us in the right lines and shepherded us, albeit always at 6-feet apart, to our individual stations with a nurse. My nurse, named Naomi, almost teared up when I thanked her. It felt like we all were doing a collective sigh of relief and deeply thankful to begin the healing so needed in our world.

I've been to the Mountain. “I don't know what wi I've been to the Mountain. “I don't know what will happen now; we've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter to me now, because I've been to the mountain top. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life – longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land." ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

We are more alike than different

Biologically, our ancestral differences reflect only a 0.1 percent difference in DNA. Yet we often cling to those differences — both in unity with our fellow people of origin and, at times, in divisiveness.

Over all, the experiment has provided a special opportunity to explore the lines of race. I found that as human beings, our strategies for survival are the same, and our similarities far outweigh our differences.
Anita Foeman, professor of communication studies

What Others Are Saying

Ted Burrows

A Local Church Pastor
“Through personal storytelling, biblical preaching, and literally getting us out of the church and into a mosque, Andy walked alongside our church with the question, “Compelled by God’s love, what does it mean to love our Muslim neighbor?” Wise, gentle, and prophetic, Andy doesn’t just talk about peacemaking–he lives it.”Website

Linda Howell

Lay Church Leader
“Andy spent a weekend at our church recently speaking about his bridge building relationships with Muslims. This approach resonates in contrast with so much media attention to extremists. It was a new message for a lot of our members, but they seemed willing to listen and be open because of Andy’s gentle and non-threatening presence. Now we can discuss this topic more freely and see our Muslim neighbors in a new light, building friendships as God leads.”

Website

Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil

Professor of Reconciliation Studies
“We recognize you as an agent of change for reconciliation and an influential community leader. We’d like to invite you to influence the next generation of community leaders here at Seattle Pacific University.”

Website

Brad Bergfalk

Pastor
“Andy Larsen recently gave a presentation and engaged our congregation around the question, “Who is our neighbor?” His knowledge and experience as a bridge-builder and peacemaker was evident as he encouraged us to look outside our normal circles of friendships. Andy is well-suited for this ministry as he travels effortlessly between Muslim and Christian communities and invites us to do the same.”
Website

Thanks for stopping by. I'm in constant search for beauty, and try to capture it with my camera. I also look for ways to restore shalom between cultures and peoples that may not see the image of God in their other. I seek to follow Jesus and his invitation to make peace. I love photography, coffee, hiking, time with friends, and a good book. Poke around here. Enjoy the pictures, reflections and stories.
