      The death of the Queen? Everybody’s covered that. 9/11? I’m working on some thoughts so maybe next time. Sooooo… Working at a Catholic hospital, there are some overtly Christian opportunities. Writing devotional pieces for employee email lists is one. This past weekend, one of mine showed up, so I share it with you here. Hope…

    • Christmas in September

      Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.  (Luke 13:24) I work on Sundays and can’t get to services, but I do listen to recorded sermons when I’m able. I’ve been blessed by preachers opening up these hard verses. “Agonizing” to enter through…

    • DC Serves up Bovine Wine

      Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right! (Isaiah 5:22-23)… Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring,…

    • Shut the Front Door

      After hearing yesterday’s Gospel, which included Jesus’ imperative to, Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able (Luke 13:24), I bumped into a correlation in the ever scary (for clergy) Matthew 23, But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom…

    • Shaky

      Not gonna write much this week and probably next. We have a family medical situation unfolding. I was scheduled to preach and celebrate a liturgy this coming Sunday but that’s scrubbed. I was working on a sermon from Hebrews 12:27-29, …the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that…

    • Unbecoming

      I watched the first season of Becoming Elizabeth on Starz. Well done, although the cruelty that is presented (necessary to the story as it conveys the events and the times) appeals less and less to me as I age. Maybe I’ve grown as a disciple of Jesus; maybe I’m just more sensitive to pain and…

    • So Alive

      I’m so alive in this self imposed tomb. God asks me to die a little so that I can live a lot more.

    • Tears for Twitter?

      Why have you struck us down so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; for a time of healing, but behold, terror. (Jeremiah 14:19) A few nights ago I was chatting with a seminary classmate, an Episcopal Priest bucking the trend of church decline with a fruitful…

    • Have A Look

      Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26 “Look,” says the Lord. OK, this morning I got around to one of those acts of obedience that score points to bank…

      I’ve been awake in the wee hours trying to pray through what’s bugging me.
