Meditations
I Love My Dad
However, it wasn’t until this morning at breakfast when discussing the whole episode with my dad, that I finally felt absolved and redeemed.
Dear Reverend Graham
Literally speaking, who turned who’s back on whom in the Garden of Eden? Didn’t Adam and Eve turn their back on God? What was God’s response to their betrayal?
Agents of Healing Too
“May we never applaud someone’s suffering, never weaponize our religion to do harm, never grow comfortable with hearts that are only capable of anger.” John Pavlovitz
Peacemakers
On May 1, 1992, Rodney King said, “People, I just want to say, can’t we all get along? Can’t we all get along?” Can we get along? I don’t know. From what I have seen on social media, the answer is no.
Kindness Too
Moving forwards and backwards in the list, kindness is fifth—fifth from the beginning and fifth from the end—as if kindness is the pinnacle, the acme, the vertex of the fruit of the Spirit.
Unity
As I write this, I am looking out my front window through my neighbor’s yard to a house on the next block that has a blue Trump banner flying on the front porch. I have never met the person(s) living in that home but I could certainly make assumptions about them.
Waiting
Waiting with hope, how awesome is that! It doesn’t mean we will not have doubts or questions. It doesn’t mean we will not act rashly. It doesn’t mean we will get what we want or think we should have. It does mean that we can trust in the One to whom we all belong.
Unfathomable
I went outside very early this morning hoping to catch a glimpse of the Orionid meteor shower. As I watched the sky turn from deep shades of royal blue to aqua to turquoise, I noticed the shaded silhouette of a bird on the ridge of my neighbor’s roof
Dancing Butterfly
So, I did and that is when I heard it, like a needle stuck in a scratch on a vinyl record, repeating the same line over and over again. “I can’t believe she’s gone.”
Squirrelly
The juxtaposition of my trying to read what seems like a serious book in the Bible to the bushy-tailed escapades occurring outside my window appeared to mirror my musings to resolve illusory images of God.
