Jesus is the Horizon of my Life and Faith
One of the most frustrating things that Jesus said is “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Oh, okay – now that I’m untroubled… let me get on with the work of Your love, Your hope, and Your Kingdom. Reading this passage in John 14 today, I felt myself get frustrated and maybe even angry…

Hearing Jesus through the Noise in my Life
The world around me is swirling, and it feels so hard right now to make the time and calm my mind. Yet, alongside the noise life may scream, there is always a voice of life and peace.

Jesus Looks on me with Compassion and Love

Christ’s Peace Invites us into Life
A Meditation for our second week of Eastertide in 2026 What I would give to hear the risen Jesus say to me, “Peace be with you”. This is how Jesus greeted the disciples after His resurrection. In the darkness of that day, He appeared to them where they had locked themselves away. He said it…

Where Would I Have Been?

Jesus Enters into my Joys and Sorrows
Each one of our lives will weave its way through joys and sorrows. Both of these experiences, emotions, and moments are holy. They are holy for the simple reason that God is with me. Yet, this is where I meet a temptation that I have struggled with in different ways for decades.

With Your Light, Lord, Now I See
It is here that I must remind myself that Jesus invites me into less. Into simplicity. Into the simple undeserved gift of God’s love, grace, and mercy.

The Cross Stands Still
Our time of Lenten reflection continues in a world that has, yet again, tilted upon its axis, shifting around us. Our season of reflection and self-examination is being imposed upon by powers far larger and outside ourselves. In ways that we can anticipate, and many more that we cannot.

The Way is Long, Beloved
Together in community we are invited to welcome, encourage, and support one another. The way is long, my beloved; it will take every day and breath our God will give you.
