The Gift Which Is Already Ours
That on that first Sabbath, God did rest, but perhaps God’s rest wasn’t just about ‘not doing’ more creation, but rather ‘connecting with’ the creation God had made and hallowed; about delighting in what creation had to offer; in exploring the wideness of God’s expanding love and playfulness. Maybe God buried God’s face in our toes and laughed at our expressions and simply enjoyed learning the quirks of God’s humans and animals and oceans, of the ferns; of the redwoods.
A Calling Greater Than Our Comfort
Others’ affirmations or discouragements, others’ dismissals or acceptances – those do not determine our worth! God’s Love has already assured our value and charged us with a purpose, sent us into the world as emissaries of kindness, compassion, and grace…

Come and sit for a second so that your work might be fueled with love.
The Guidepost to Eternal Life
The parables of Jesus are not intended to satisfy us. They are intended to shock and scandalize us. To challenge and convict us.
Like a Flash of Lightning
The poet Mary Oliver asks the essential question, ‘Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?’ I think Jesus answers in our gospel lesson today by saying ‘become more aware of fallen angels among us trying to impose their will on others.’ And the reason Jesus says the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few, is because Jesus invites us to be like God and not submit to the contagion of violence.
The Long and Dusty Road
The Hot weather seems to make us all a bit “hot and bothered,” Jesus speaks to his disciples about the importance of focus as they follow him. His words are sharp yet full of endurance and sustenance.
There Will Be Blood
In a world covered by shadow, the demoniac becomes the very gift of light. And as we can, where we can, even in a moment such as this, we must choose life and walk in that light.
