Your Own Christmas Story
There is nothing like a beautiful story. But the lives which create the stories are often less smooth.
The Way Ducks Fight
The season of Advent calls us to let go of the stories of our hurt so that our hearts can heal.
Finding Happiness
Only three things are necessary to connect with God, and all three are always present.
God’s Word on Our Heart
It is easier to believe the word of God, when we recognize our own need. It is in our pain that we allow God in.
Small Things Matter
Small things matter because God uses them in the actions that we do and in the things we receive.
Belonging to the Truth
Living in the truth is not easy. It requires courage to face what is real in our lives and to respond to that reality wisely.

Rebuilding the Monastery
