Digging Up Dirt

But unfortunately, today is Ash Wednesday, a day that reminds us that not only are we literally dust of the ground, fated to return to that same dust when we die, but in the grand scheme of things we are less than a speck of dust compared to the universe.

What Happened to Your Face?

Like the Israelites and Jesus's disciples, we inhabit a time and a place in which the glory of God can shine brightly, vanishing darkness.

Surprise!

We don't always have a choice whether or not to confront our brokenness and humanity. But far from being a curse, there is a blessing here.

Happy Holidays

But I wonder… what if? What if holidays, holy days, are about more than joy and celebrations, big gatherings, and work?

For Everybody

The sad truth is that often, too often, we the church, we Christians are all too happy to accept God's unfathomable grace, God's amazing gift; and then turn around and hoard it, keep it ourselves.
