Re-imaging Christ the King
27 Nov, 2018
Last Sunday marked the end of the Christian calendar year and was celebrated by churches all around the world as Christ the King Sunday. Personally, I think Jesus would have been appalled at the title, but let’s take a look at it. Where did it...
Antidote to Negativity
19 Nov, 2018
I wonder how much we really pay attention to our thoughts, and especially to how much of our thinking might be negative and unhelpful? I typically consider myself an optimistic, glass half-full person. But I realize that I’m more than capable...
Ruth continued...
12 Nov, 2018
Here’s the bottom line… our stories have to change before the world changes. The stories we tell ourselves and our children about who we are and who God is are the foundational building blocks of our understanding and the way we behave and...
Companioning Grief
05 Nov, 2018
My mother died of breast cancer when I was 17. We had the service in the funeral home because we weren’t part of a church, and back then in our family it was traditional to open your home after the service and have people over for a potluck...
Clarity of Vision
23 Oct, 2018
In the story of Jesus and the blind man, Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), Jesus asks Barimaeus, "What would you have me do for you?" and Bartimaeus responds, "I want to see." As I read this scripture I wonder, if Jesus asked us today, “What do you...
Spirituality of Resilience
15 Oct, 2018
Resilience is our ability to bounce back from adversity, stress, trauma or challenges in life. How bouncy are we? And what does spirituality have to do with bounciness? And why are some people more bouncy than others? We all know people who...
Keep Dreaming
08 Oct, 2018
If someone said to you that you were a dreamer, how would you take it? Probably negatively. These days it’s a pejorative saying to call someone a dreamer. It means you’re not in touch with reality, or they think that what you’re dreaming is...
Tough Self-Love
01 Oct, 2018
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It would be better to enter Life crippled than to have hands and go into Gehenna, where the fire never goes out. If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better to enter Life crippled than...
The Door to Wisdom is Humility
23 Sep, 2018
If you read the book of James, it seems clear that the author is addressing a number of real issus in the early Christian community. Clearly there were bitter, jealous people who were self-serving and ambitious. Perhaps those folks wanted to be...
Who is Jesus to you?
17 Sep, 2018
In Mark 8:27-33 , Jesus asks two questions. And as Joan Chittester points out in her book, In Search of Belief , the first one, “Who do people say that I am?” has been debated from the beginning. It is the question that creeds and doctrine have...
