Learning to Be a Conduit

December 10, 2020 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

I am not really sure of the first time I heard the word Conduit.  I believe it was when I was working within a Church that was needing to do either a building addition or new construction.  I remember thinking I must be kind of dumb to not know what that word meant but I… Read More »

Extraordinarily Ordinary!

December 3, 2020 By TonyThornton 2 Comments

This week finds me writing this blog a bit early in order to head back to Kansas to attend the funeral of my Aunt Frances.  I don’t know if she ever made a trip to Mississippi or not but I am sure that she would have if she still had been physically able.  Frances deeply… Read More »

Consider the Sparrows

November 26, 2020 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

One of Camille and my favorite pastimes is sitting on the back porch and watching the birds.  I think I learned this joy at a very early age.  As a boy growing up there were always bird feeders, bird houses and even a bird bath to provide for the birds as well as to provide… Read More »

Tug of War

November 19, 2020 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

When I was a boy, a familiar group activity among my friends was a tug of war.  It was always fun to battle it out and hope that your side would be the victor.  Many times the “prize” for winning was simply “not” ending up in a patch of mud or some other mess.  Usually… Read More »

All is Quiet at 104 Chatham St.!

November 12, 2020 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

As the daily display of beauty, otherwise known as, Fall in Mississippi intensifies, I was reminded of an earlier blog post and thought it might be good to give an update.  Maybe you will remember me writing about the challenges Camille and I were facing in trying to bring the landscape at the parsonage into… Read More »

Lessons from a Humble Preparer of Food

November 5, 2020 By TonyThornton 1 Comment

One dimension of my life that might surprise those who are reading this is my love of cooking.  I think this comes from my mom.  In addition to being an excellent cook, she was willing to let me come into the kitchen and “help her cook”.  I know now that my efforts were hardly helpful… Read More »

Speechless….almost!

October 29, 2020 By TonyThornton 1 Comment

The month of October is slowly coming to a conclusion and with it comes the completion of Minister Appreciation Month.  I had been duly warned that Camille and I should get ready for an outpouring of “appreciation” the likes of which we had never seen before.  With the month nearly gone, I can report that… Read More »

Trying to Write a Blog and An Unexpected Gift

October 22, 2020 By TonyThornton Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday!  Blog day!  Have you ever noticed how easy it is to start a new habit or discipline but how difficult it is to keep doing it?  I remember when we were revamping the Church website and one of the new features was the ability to include a blog.  I thought that would be… Read More »

Serendipity

October 15, 2020 By TonyThornton 1 Comment

I love the word serendipity.  What a funny sounding, weird word!  Even more, I love the serendipitous moments of life.  I am talking about the moments in life where when you least expected it, a grace or benefit comes your way.  I have experienced serendipity in a variety of settings.  I seen it happen in… Read More »

Risky, but Worth It!!!

October 8, 2020 By TonyThornton 1 Comment

I noticed over the past few days that I was experiencing some rather unexplained feelings.  I have been feeling a bit anxious and moody.  Usually I am pretty good at “diagnosing” my inner feelings, bring them to the surface and take the appropriate steps to resolve the feeling of unease.  This skill that I just… Read More »
