Keeping Our Center ~ Day 48
02 May, 2020
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...

I looked around my office for inspiration yesterday and pulled a new book out of my “books to read” pile called “The Art of Is,” by Stephen Nachmanovitch, an internationally known improvisational violinist. And the book is wonderful! This is...

You are enough. That’s always been another consistent sermon theme for me. You know they say that pastors really preach to themselves, well, it’s true. This is a message I constantly need to hear. There are probably a gazillion reasons why we...

Play nice. That’s been another common sermon theme of my sermons. Seems pretty simple to me. Another way to put it is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Why is this so hard? Truth be told, I wasn’t a very good...

Over the years I’ve realized that I basically preach three themes over and over again: God is Love, play nice, and you are enough . Sometimes I wonder why folks keep listening to my messages when I feel like I just find creative ways to say...

I think 2020 at our house will be known as The Year of the Puzzles . We just finished our 15th puzzle (most were 1,000 pieces) since the beginning of the year. It’s kept us out of trouble (somewhat) and been something we can do together in the...

Well, we’ve made it through a little more than a month of the official stay-at-home order here in Wisconsin (obviously I started these reflections before the Governor issued the order) and we have one month to go (at least)! My question of the...
Keeping Our Center ~ Day 41

Benedictine monk, Brother David Steindl-Rast has said, “Silence is the opportunity to let yourself down into mystery – to let yourself be touched by mystery. It is like the joy of music, only a thousand times deeper and greater.” Even though we...
Keeping Our Center ~ Day 40
24 Apr, 2020
So, I’ve been writing these for forty days now. Forty was a significant number in the Bible signifying a “long time.” It reminds me of Jesus spending forty days in the wilderness before beginning his ministry. Clearly it was a transformative...

I interrupt your regularly scheduled reflection to bring you Whiny Thursday. Yes, you heard right. I’m whiny. Today I’ve had enough of social distancing. I miss all of you. I miss hugs and having meetings in person. I’m tired of gray, cold and...
