Mother of, Daughter of, Wife of…and then, Stephen
Today’s Old Testament reading really shaped how I read both the Gospel and the Epistle. It was the last bit of the story of Samson’s parents and how they came to know that they would not die childless. Though familiar … Continue reading
The Long and Winding Road
Have you ever thought of teaching Bikram? After-all, you are never bored with it, you have practiced it for a long time, you love to share with others how it can transform a body into good health from the inside … Continue reading

It was flooding in the heartland. As the flood waters were rising, a man was on the stoop of his house and another man in a row boat came by. The man in the row boat told the man on … Continue reading

I didn’t get far into to today’s lectionary readings before again being paused in the Psalter. I prayed before reading for a more open heart – a broader lens, if you will, and less focus on my immediate situation. Then … Continue reading
Psalm 102:11-12 I wither away like grass. 12 But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; and Entropy?
