Learning to Bow Down
The stance of a disciple is to bow down before God and to be empty enough to let mercy in.
Homilies
Discipleship through Checkers
Everything in creation can show us God’s ways. This is true of the three rules of checkers.
Our Weakness; God’s Strength
Holiness is not being perfect. Holiness is claiming our weakness in the presence of God’s strength.
The Beauty Remains
If we see the beauty of the people in our lives, we can push through excuses and become Christ’s servants.
Following the Dishonest Steward
God is always with us, even when the pain we must endure is of our own making.
Trust and Community
When our faith is too weak, we need to depend upon the faith of others. This is why we have a faith community.
The Plow Keeps Moving
We must not look back at past mistakes or failures. Doing so will not only distract us, but possibly harm us.
Patience, Patience!
If we can remember how patient God is with us, then maybe we can find the way to be patient with ourselves.
Light is Not Faith
Light does not necessarily lead to faith. For all the brightness of the light, faith is never inevitable.
Surprise in the Ditch
The parable of the Good Samaritan reminds us that life comes both as a surprise and a gift.
