These are preliminary thoughts which I hope will just become part of the
background as people read and study these lessons. Frankly, one of my target audiences is clergy who are preparing worship
services. (Thus EarthWords comes out about 10-12 days before the specific Sunday.) Each week there is an EarthPrayer, and
also a suggestion of "One Thing to Do" both of which hopefully reflect the themes in the scripture passages.
EarthWords are written by me - Charlie West. I am a United Methodist
pastor serving two congregations on the shore of Lake Superior. I started writing and emailing them out in August of
2006. This EarthWords website came into being in August of 2007.
(I do have copies of the 9/06-3/08 EarthWords, but I don't know if I'll
ever get around to putting them on the website. And I suppose it would be handy to have them all indexed by text, but
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen!)
