Easter Sunday
12 Apr, 2020
This is a weird Easter. There is no gathering of the community in our Easter finery. No music, no fanfare, no Hallelujah Chorus and goosebumps, no hugs and coffee hour. There will be no Easter dinners, no egg hunts and no golfers. We’ll do our...
Saturday of Holy Week
11 Apr, 2020
Jesus took the wine and said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Jesus was killed. He did as much as he could to bring a revolution of compassion, inclusion, and justice, to religion and to the world. Then he died. Much too soon. “It is finished,”...
Friday of Holy Week
10 Apr, 2020
“Abba, into your hands I commit my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) On this Day of Tears, while we dwell in the midst of death, these words are the way to life. With these words, we’re given assurance that as Jesus released his mortal body, his spirit was...
Thursday of Holy Week
09 Apr, 2020
“I am thirsty.” (John 19:28) As the story goes, just before Jesus took his last breath on the cross, he proclaimed that he was thirsty, so someone soaked a sponge with sour wine and touched it to his mouth. Well, sour wine isn’t exactly dregs,...
Wednesday of Holy Week

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) Honestly, I so love Jesus for this moment. He had been through a week of hell – rejection, betrayal, beatings, humiliation, and the incomprehensible pain of crucifixion. No wonder he...
Tuesday of Holy Week

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Here is your son.” Then he said to his disciple, “Here is your mother.” (John 19:26 – 27a, The Inclusive Bible ) Well, my first very irreverent...
Monday of Holy Week

Today begins our Holy Week journey to Easter. In the four Gospels combined, there are seven last phrases attributed to Jesus before his death. These are often used for sermons and devotions, so I thought I’d use six of them for our reflections...
Keeping Our Center ~ Palm Sunday
05 Apr, 2020
It doesn’t really feel like Palm Sunday without the story, the fanfare, the palms and the music. Truth be told, I’m trying to shift gears to put my head, my heart, and my soul into this Holy Week. NPR quoted a tweet this week that said...
Keeping Our Center ~ Day 20
04 Apr, 2020
A friend recently mentioned to me that she sent her grandchildren postcards and asked them, “How will you remember this time in your life?” I think that is a great question, not only for our children and grandchildren, but for us. Here in...
Keeping Our Center ~ Day 19
03 Apr, 2020
Where is your happy place? Chances are most of us are naming a place far away. We’re dreaming of beaches, or mountains, or fishing, or the cabin (when there aren’t repairs to do), etc. Julie and I were lucky to have a week in our happy place...
