Meditations
It Is Finished
I have read the story of your crucifixion, death and resurrection many times and have heard countless sermons about salvation, but this Easter was different.
Golden Calf
When you are worried, what are you believing? When you are facing trials and tribulations, what are you believing? When the world around you appears to be going to hell in a hand basket, what are you believing?
Lessons from a Dog
Polly is her name or at least the name given to her by her foster parents. I have asked Polly what her true name is—the one given to her at birth–but she has yet to confide in me.
Shadows
Could it be that all the beliefs and conditionings we tend to imagine we are, when seen in the Light, cast shadows of judgement, anxiety, fear, and all manner of unbelief and mistrust?
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.
