My drive from So Cal to Nor Cal today. The day the church commemorates the life of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Christian Apologist and Writer who died June 14 1936. Of his many quotable quotes, this one came to mind with each passing mile: “There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” O God of earth and altar, you gave G. K. Chesterton a ready tongue and pen, and inspired him to use them in your service: Mercifully grant that we may be inspired to witness cheerfully to the hope that is in us; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. #cloudsofwitnessescastlesinthesky #gkchesterton #hwhm #californiablue #ontheroadwiththesaintsabove #againO God, who on this day taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit: Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Leaning in when all you want to do is run away
I didn’t get past the first psalm reading this morning, it echoed so closely to the lament heard from a colleague just yesterday. A colleague who for all intents and purposes seemed to have all her ducks in a row. … Continue reading

Let go, let God – the one and only contractor we need

Rhyme and Reason for the Season
Headed into this second week of Advent I was disappointed to see that the New Testament readings were going to join the past week’s Old Testament readings in the prophetic theme of final judgment, the last days, doom, gloom, the … Continue reading
