November 1, 2026 – The Feast of All Saints: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Now, you’all know I grew up Baptist, and one of the reasons I like to watch Morning Joe during the week is because of the host – Joe Scarborough. Joe, a former Republican Congressman, often talks about Jesus, religion, and his Baptist roots. One of my fav themes he often brings up is how to be persistent – like he would say “we’d sing 17 verses of ‘Just As I Am’ if that is what it took to get someone to profess their faith…” And…well, that is very true! Anyway, the other day I just about spewed my coffee all over the room because John Meachem, a renowned historian and Episcopalian, was one of the guests. And here is what happened. John Meachem said to Joe, “…you do have an…
October 25, 2026: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. So, last week on the Jesus Channel, the Pharisees teamed with their not-so-best-buds, the Herodians, to try to trip Jesus up with a question (after, of course, flattering him). They essentially said, “Hey Jesus – you are lookin’ mighty awesome and since we know you are the absolute bomb when it comes to, ya know, knowin’ stuff, we have a question for you…”. Then they asked him about whether it was legal to pay taxes to the emperor. We know from last week that this was a trap, and that Jesus wasn’t the least bit fooled. And now for today’s episode, the Pharisees are at it again. A lawyer among them thought up a great question to test Jesus, or so he thought. Now, you’d think that with all the questions these folks have, they would…
October 18, 2026: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. It is so good to be back. I have missed you all so very much, and I look forward to catching up on everything in the days ahead. For anyone who may be visiting, or new since July of this year, I have been away on a long overdue sabbatical, which gave me much needed rest and renewal to equip me to better serve this parish and God as we move toward the future. Sooooooo, did I miss anything while I was gone? I mean, anything going on in the country or the world? Yeah… it never seems to end, does it? Which is why I was grateful that this sabbatical did allow me to step off if that carousel of crazy – to get away from the chaotic Chronos – or human time – and…
