Today’s reading is the same reading we had for the gospel on Easter morning, the true ending to the gospel of Mark 16:1-8. The women approach the tomb, and are wondering who will move the stone back for them, and when they get there it is already rolled away. The angel tells them that JesusContinue reading “Go tell…”

Seized by fear…

Quiver of God!
Have you ever felt like you weren’t doing that thing that you should be doing? Thought about changing your career? But is career in my thought is not vocation. Vocation is calling from the Latin for voice, and that is why we say that those in the “ministry” have a vocation. And in my thoughtsContinue reading “Quiver of God!”
What do you need?
I’m sure we have all heard this question before. And I’m sure we have all heard that there is a difference between what we want and what we need. Sometimes there is an overlap, but sometimes what we want and what we need can be polar opposites. And if you are one who follows theContinue reading “What do you need?”
