Archives for April 2008

April 4, 2008 by Alison Hodgson 2 Comments

I have been meaning to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this.  Most of my entries are on the fly and unedited.  I think better when I write things down.  Talking and writing help me clarify my beliefs and to process my experiences.  And yet too often I elevate writing to a place where I get stuck in my perfectionism, but blogging’s another story.

I started Older Than Jesus to get into the habit of writing every day and to stay in touch with old friends.  Along the way I have made some new ones.
This is me very gratefully thanking you all.

Holding the light

April 3, 2008 by Alison Hodgson Leave a Comment

This is a picture from Hearst Castle.  Figures like this lined the the home theater which was the size of the first floor of my house.  Castles aren’t really my style, I’m more of a cottage-y sort of girl, but I liked the thought of holding light.
Light is one of the themes playing out in my life right now.  It has been for some time, but it is becoming stronger.  A verse in Hebrews took my breath away.  I can’t remember the reference and am too lazy to look it up, but it says, “Everything that is illuminated becomes a light.”  Love that.
It’s true.  I want to continue to learn and grow, to live passionately and joyfully.  I want to be lit up.  And I want to be a light.

Home Again

April 2, 2008 by Alison Hodgson 1 Comment

I’m back.  It was an excellent trip and now it is good to be home.  I am so thankful to my brother, Nathan, for being such an excellent host; to Tanner for coming up for the weekend and to Paul for keeping every thing running at home and for making it all possible.  
These banners were on every light up and down State Street.  This was the last picture I took.  It just about says it all.
