“Who Are You In This Story?”

Maundy Thursday 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen.

“March Madness”

March 25, 2018, Palm Sunday: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Talk about March Madness!  And no, I am not talking about the fact that we have had 4 Nor’easters since the month began or that every single NCAA bracket is totally trashed by now.  You know, I…

“Forgiving & Faking”

March 18, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. Here we are, on this final Sunday of Lent – a period in which we have reflected more closely on our relationship with God, our neighbor, our self.  These next several days will mark the end of one part…

“Medicine of the World”

March 11, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen.

“Spoiler Alert!”

March 2, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard.  Amen. It is so good to be back!  I missed you all, and thank you for your prayers!  I can tell you, I felt like my body was getting destroyed recently, not only with the hospitalization, but dang that snow…
