A Radically Different Life

04 Oct, 2021


This week let's look at Mark 6:7-13 in which Jesus sends his disciples out in pairs to preach his message. I especially love Eugene Peterson’s translation in The Message, that said the disciples “preached with joyful urgency that life can be...

Living Within the Healing Stories

28 Sep, 2021


Marcus Borg, in his book The God We Never Knew , reminded us that the purpose of scripture is to "mediate the sacred," to connect us to the Divine. He also said that scripture is to be “lived within.” When we live within scripture we allow it...

Calming the Storm

20 Sep, 2021


For the next two months, we'll be returning to the traditional lectionary readings from the Gospel of Mark. So, I'd like to begin by placing Mark in a historical context, because the context in which it was written will add color and depth to...

The Story of Sacred Journeys

13 Sep, 2021


A story must be told in such a way that it constitutes help in itself. My grandfather was lame. Once they asked him to tell a story about his teacher. And he related how his teacher used to hop and dance while he prayed. My grandfather rose as...

Stories That Limit or Set Free

The Possibilities That Lie Beyond Grief

16 Aug, 2021


We’ve been talking about possibilities for two weeks now, and today I want to tackle an important, but somewhat tricky subject: The Possibilities That Lie Beyond Grief. This is tricky because in no way am I asking that someone ignore their...

Fear of Possibility

09 Aug, 2021


There once was this criminal who had committed a crime (Because, hey, that’s what criminals do. That’s their job!) Anyway, he was sent to the king for his punishment. The king told him he had a choice of two punishments. He could be hung by a...

The Possibility of a New Day

02 Aug, 2021


Henry David Thoreau, in his book, Walden, wrote, “We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn , which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep.” This is a little...

Play and Healing

26 Jul, 2021


Healing scriptures in relation to Jesus are many. It is clear that, however you understand these to have happened, the well-being of people was a priority for his ministry. I, personally, believe that Jesus wasn't a rigid, serious, stick-in-the...
