Happy Mother’s Day! I know all too well that Mother’s Day is difficult for many people, for a variety of reasons. Plus motherhood takes many different shapes and forms, no one better than another. When I’ve preached on Mother’s Day I’ve always...

I don’t know why our house gets so dusty, but it does. And it is really hard to motivate to clean when no one can come over anyway. Still, I have some standards and was running a cloth over some of the surfaces last week when Julie looked at me...

Yesterday, I wanted to lift up and honor the communities that give us a sense of belonging, hope and light. Today, let me expand on the concept of community a bit. The larger reality, that has become strikingly obvious, is that we belong to the...

Did we really know how important community was before we were forced to self-isolate? Before this virus, did we think about what it would mean to be suddenly separated from our church community, our card clubs, our book groups, our walking...

Over all these years of pastoral ministry, one of the most important things I’ve discovered is that God is in the interruptions. When I had a church office to work out of (Sacred Journeys rents space on Sunday mornings, so I work out of my home...
