A time for change
Last Sunday was my last Sunday at the congregation I was serving. Tomorrow is. New week and new possibilities and the first time in 5 years I’m not leading worship on a Sunday when I’m not on vacation. In this time of transition and discernment if where God is leading me, I cling to theContinue reading “A time for change”

The Galatians are relying on worksContinue reading “You Fool!”
Speak no evil
Treat everyone with courtesy and respect, speak evil of no one to avoid quarreling. Do not gossip, or fight with anyone, because this is not what Christ has called us to do. Because all of us do this naturally. It is self preservation, and we try to build ourselves up and to do this weContinue reading “Speak no evil”
Here am I…
Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word. We are all familiar with this story. Gabriel comes to Mary and tells her that she is going to have a child, and the child will be the Son of God. Her response is “Here am I, theContinue reading “Here am I…”
