“Always look for the good in the Gospels. They are Good News.” That was the message my first preaching professor had for us. But how does one find good in the cross and in the Friday that he died? How does one find good in any tragedy, unfair trials, senseless deaths? The answer we areContinue reading “What is there to fear? April 2, 2021 GOOD FRIDAY”

Who are these people?April 1, 2021Maundy Thursday
This Disciple whom Jesus loved, this Disciple who is going to betray Jesus, who are these people? I had a professor in college who suggested that we are meant to place our names in their places. We are the one Jesus loved. We are the one to betray Jesus. We are the ones Jesus gaveContinue reading “Who are these people?April 1, 2021Maundy Thursday”
Positive Accentuation3.30.2021Tuesday
I invite you to accentuate the positive, offer forgiveness, believe in transformation, to see the best in others, to open yourself to Love that will not let you go. My morning prayer today:
GOD CAN HOME COMMUNION 03/21/2021 Down Syndrome Day also
Our 21 chromosome boy creates many opportunities for me to grow, to learn new ways of communication, and to remember some I already knew but haven’t used in quite a while. Sometimes I am more focused on my lack of abilities rather than on the One who Provides. My pondering today leads me to prayerContinue reading “GOD CAN HOME COMMUNION 03/21/2021 Down Syndrome Day also”
Forgive Those Greenies3/17/2021 Wednesday
When I was growing up, our school mascot was the Greenies, I guess as in mean and Green. The school has since changed their mascot. No one seem to know what a Greenie was. Now that I think of so many things that are not understood if you are not part of a particular culture,Continue reading “Forgive Those Greenies3/17/2021 Wednesday”
AND IT WAS GOODMONDAY 03.15.2021
Sometimes it is harder to write after a hearing than it is before. It can feel like just a tiny surface is scratched when the wound is down deep and in need of so much more. May we continue to pray and work to make a difference.
CARE FOR THE CAREGIVERS3.12.2021 Friday

First the Foggy Morning and then the BreakdownMarch 9, 2021 Tuesday Prayer
Rough start this morning culminating someone who had more red x’s than green stars sneaking dog food into my coffee. Luckily, he tells on himself and I didn’t actually drink it, but I just felt defeated. My whole reason for being here and struggling so much financially has been to help him, to teach himContinue reading “First the Foggy Morning and then the BreakdownMarch 9, 2021 Tuesday Prayer”
