Listen to Him

Can you imagine going with a couple of friends up a mountain and suddenly one of your friends begins to shine brightly?! Then, two other people appear out of the blue and a voice from the sky begins talking? It sounds like something you would find in a fantasy movie.

The Shame of Sickness

Time is a funny thing. While it is constant with every minute having sixty seconds and every hour sixty minutes, it can fly by or it can drag. My children share an electronic tablet and they each get half an hour to play games on it. For the one waiting,

Unity in the New Covenant

We need a redo. A toddler time out. A fresh start on how we view and treat people. Let’s jump right in the deep end. You and I might disagree about abortion, about LGBTQ+ leadership in the church, about ways to resolve racial injustices, about politics. (I am not saying

When We Know the Ending

I’ve recently been re-watching a television show that I started several years ago. I’d seen the first two and a half seasons, stopping somewhere in the middle of season 3 because I was bored (clearly, I dropped it right before things got interesting). I had seen an episode or two
