I am reminded that the distinctive mark of the Holy Spirit isn't just in the spectacular. It is also and perhaps more commonly in the ordinary work we do. The Holy Spirit is given to us for Christian adulting.

You are attending spiritual development classes. Going on retreats. Listening to podcasts with Richard Rohr, reading Rob Bell, learning about the Enneagram. You want to talk about what you are learning…

Our cell phones are central to the way we interact with others today...and they can help us to connect more with God, too. How we choose to use our phones matters; apps can be a means of grace

This year, your Fourth of July may include fireworks around the dinner table...maybe you are dreading time with family this year because you know your uncle who always has the TV on Fox News

Our Christian response begins with tuning in and turning towards this terrible story. It is our responsibility to stay tuned in and to let our hearts break. The word compassion means 'to suffer with.'

I am sorry if you have received messages from a church that have made you feel or believe that you are anything less than fully loved and fully accepted. You are loved. You are accepted.
