August 7, 2016: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. It is so good to be back here with all of you this week. I have enjoyed my vacation and thank David, Bill, and the staff for keeping the light on as they say. As for me, I spent…
July 17, 2016: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. So, yesterday I caught my first Pokémon, “Squirtle” the turtle. Does anyone else think there is some symmetry to that – my first Pokémon, the one found right in front of my truck, was a turtle – yup. Of…

The Vigil for Love Against Hate – June 16th, 2016: I want to thank Iman Haqq and Dr. Abreu for their words tonight, and also all those – clergy, singers, lay leaders – who have volunteered of their time to be here, to participate, to offer whatever they could, in response to the tragedy in…
June 12, 2016 – Mass on the Grass…with Brass!: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. I love being out here in the middle of this beautiful park – surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation. I especially am so grateful to hold worship out here, not only because…
May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. So, today is Trinity Sunday. Now, folks like to answer, when asked about this doctrine – “It’s a mystery.” Others would respond the same way when asked why on earth there is a Trinity Sunday, given that it is the only Sunday…
May 15, 2016 – Pentecost: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Happy Pentecost! Today is one of the most important Sundays of the Church.
