It is good that we have the habit of seeing ourselvesContinue reading “Starting Fresh Again”
Shadow of Violence
“You sweep humans away like daydreams, like fresh grass which springs up and flowers in the morning, but by evening is withered and dry.” Psalm 90: 5 Sadly, even in this season of Christmas, we continue to live under a dark shadow, the shadow of violence.

Holy Spirit and Fire
“Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; the word of God has brought me derision and reproach all the day.

God on the Move
“We are called to be a Church on the move, sent by Christ who walks with us. Our business is creating communities of peace, justice, and love wherever we go, wherever we live.” Within our Christian gospels we find the themes of shared meals, hospitality, faithfulness, and discipleship. And we find the theme of GodContinue reading “God on the Move”
We Know What to Do
We are to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. All humans are judged by this verse. My favorite scripture is Micah 6:8. This verse states that we humans already know what is good, pleasing, and perfect. We are to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. All humans are judgedContinue reading “We Know What to Do”
