Where Will We Land?

Good morning... "Double sunrise in Japan." My mind woke in a haze with this strange phrase, then I drifted back into my second segment of sleep. Waking for the day, I remembered those four words, "Double sunrise in Japan." Somehow it seemed centered on a celebration of sorts? So my curiosity did what it so often does, I [...]

Hanging On By A Thread

Good morning... Pictured above is a framed print I recently brought home from a fascinating yard sale. Somehow it feels like a self-portrait of me looking into the mirror of our multifaceted God, the living body of Christ. The thread running through the colorful minds of these partial people reminds me of the rich tapestry of healing love [...]

Rest

Good morning... I looked more closely at the intricate nest. Sticks. Leaves. Dried grass. I noticed that the floor of the nest was made out of one large piece of light colored bark, bark I had recently seen shedding from unusually looking trees. Three-in-one trees. One-in-three trees. Growing forever from the same stable root, I fondly nickname these [...]

On The Edge Of Maybe

Good morning... Today is Senior Sunday at our church, an annual celebration of the high school seniors raised by our church family. Every year, I love to flip through the traditional glossy trifold bulletin announcing the name, the high school, and the college of choice for each fresh graduating face. This unusual year, I noticed three changes right [...]

Dive To The Depths

Good morning... My mind returns to a segment of Scripture read to me over the phone by a friend. Sequestered in solidarity, let's read these vibrant verses slowly aloud. You there. Me here. Us bonding together as we begin this new day. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t [...]

Our Learning This Lent

Good morning... This Ash Wednesday, we carry over some meaningful morsels of truth expressed beautifully in yesterday's post. "For Jesus, knowing God fully as he was fully known by God, Oneness with God was more than enough. For grace is clearly at work when a person accepts undeserved pain and suffering and does so because he (or she) is [...]

We Are Whole

Good morning... Our wholeness is not measured by our looks or our feelings, our accomplishments or our bank account, our reputation or our fickle opinions. Our wholeness is rooted, established, grounded in our living LORD, who was, and is, and is to come. Secure from the beginning of time until the last breath of eternity, alive with Christ [...]

God’s Variety This Valentine’s Day

Good morning... God's friendly mystery takes different forms and the living Christ rays out in all directions, God's Word made flesh, the Light of life for all people. Parts of God's colorful prism resonate differently with each of us, but let's enjoy this sacred song and celebrate together this God-given, glorious day. At the beginning God expressed himself. [...]

Our Three Jugs

Good morning... Morning by morning, I begin empty, open, thirsty. In each day's first hours, I silently pray, "LORD, please fill me up with Your endless love." I envision my mind, my heart, and my soul as three empty jugs. One vessel (my mind) collects timeless truths from the Creator, the Father, the Almighty, the Maker of all. [...]

Look Upside-Down

Good morning... At 3:00 am we received yesterday's post, Will You Fall Upward? Without skipping a beat, at 5:01 am I received in my inbox the continuation of God's life-giving lesson through the morning meditation of Henri Nouwen Society. ****** Henri Nouwen Society DAILY MEDITATION - SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 Our life is a short opportunity to say yes [...]
