The Gift of Discernment
18 Mar, 2024
Discernment, in spirituality, is the ability to sense the presence of the divine in wisdom and/or guidance; to perceive intuitively, or spiritually, the answers, insight, or the best path forward. I believe Jesus offered the gift of discernment...
The Gift of Resilience
11 Mar, 2024
By definition, resilience is “the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.” It is essential to getting through life, though I doubt many of us give it much thought. Jesus didn't really talk about it either, but he...
The Gift of Belonging
04 Mar, 2024
This Lent we are talking about the Gifts of Jesus . One of the most beautiful gifts he shared was the gift of belonging. For this message we read the story of Jesus healing the bleeding woman and the twelve-year-old girl in March 5:21-43. Now,...
The Gift of Forgiveness
26 Feb, 2024
Taken literally, the story in the Gospel of Mark of the paralyzed person being lowered through a roof to Jesus is pretty farfetched. Imagine 2,000 years ago trying to get a paralyzed person up on a roof in the middle of a crowd, then to cut a...
The Gifts of Ethics & Integrity
19 Feb, 2024
In every age there are the select few – the mystics and the prophets – who go where the rest of us hesitate, or are afraid to go. They are the special few who see the sacredness of all people – ALWAYS. They can’t be bought by the lure of wealth...
The Way of Wu Wei
05 Feb, 2024
One of my favorite non-Christian spiritual concepts is wu wei, it is a Chinese word that means non-doing or effortless doing . Daoism is a Chinese Philosophy about the Dao , or the Way of the Universe. Think about it as the Life Energy that...
Practicing Acceptance
29 Jan, 2024
Last year my mantra was: I can’t control anyone else. As in, I can’t control my kids, my dog, my father, my wife, my neighbors… the weather, the world. I even know that sometimes I have a hard time controlling myself and what I’m doing. And,...
The Great Blank Slate
15 Jan, 2024
(This reflection is an adaptation from a shared fire service with Olympia Brown Unitarian Universalist Church) The new year always conjures the image of a great blank slate for me. The beginning of a new calendar year is an interesting...
Time to Stop
08 Jan, 2024
In the introduction to Eckart Tolle’s book, “Stillness,” he writes that true spiritual teachers help us to “remember” what we already know. Having said that, I’m not telling you anything today that you (or I) don’t already know. We know we need...
Love & Wholeness
18 Dec, 2023
Have you ever experienced a white-out? Where it’s snowing and blowing so hard that you can’t see anything around you? I remember once, when I was young and skiing in Colorado, a blizzard whipped up while I was on the ski lift and I couldn’t see...
