A Humbling Homily

Humility is one of those things in life I have always struggled with. It is considered a pillar of Christianity, and an attribute we should demonstrate regularly as Jesus’ coheirs, who supposedly bear his image to the world. Any sincere Christian who has read the gospels can see that, in light of the self-righteous Pharisees,…

If you are like me, you have times of prayer where your thoughts are all over the map! “Our Father, who art in heaven,... what should we have for dinner tonight? hallowed be your name... oh, I have to get that contract signed...” Prayer distractions seem to be a chronic issue in the prayer lives…

I do some marriage counseling with both Christians and those who don’t yet know Christ. In the process, I’ve found that forgiveness is just as much a problem with “believers” as it is with those who have never received God’s forgiveness. While reading Luke 17 the other day, I noticed for the first time how…

Woke up this morning feeling quite off balance. A weird confession perhaps for someone who is passionate about what he does. Regardless, I felt off balance. I felt as if some how I had drifted away from the “sweet spot" - that place that I like to live from where I am at peace with…

Rhythms of the Heart. The key to a rich and dynamic spirituality in the cultivation of intimacy with God. This is a process like any journey with each step yielding a great sense of peace. Spring boarding from the story of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, we reflect upon the imagery within the story…

As anyone who has spent any time with me or visiting any of our sites can attest, my passion is all about love. Many folks will speak about having a life message – for some this is justice, could be mercy, mission, business, ethics, etc. For me, my passion is love – specifically divine love…

I Smell Like Sheep Poop: Spirituality of Work

I got a call from a friend a couple of days ago. He has a small sheep herd of about 100 head and he was needing help sorting them. Some had to go to market. Some had to be tagged and tattooed. And some needed to be culled off for shearing. I love a day…

Rhythms of The Heart - In this edition we explore two familiar Parables. The Parable of the Treasure found in a field and the Pearl of great price (Mt 13:44-). Jesus shares these two stories with his friends to explain a little bit of the Kingdom of God. We examine two facets or two different…

Rhythms of the Heart - In this episode we explore the experience of two fellas walking the Emmaus road about the time of Jesus' death. They share the road with a stranger in which they discuss the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus and what it all could mean. They stop for a meal together…

I appreciate what Rohr has to say in the quote below. I believe it is important that our spirituality, our faith life, is fully grounded in the here and now, in the concrete of our real life. Healthy Christian spirituality brings wholeness - we are created as physical, concrete beings who are also at the…

Divine Love and Road Trips

This is another photo taken on our trip to a Kite Festival in Saskatchewan, Canada. The prairies can provide breathtaking scenery. The contrast of dark sky and land with the layer of light between them was remarkable. Despite being captured by a phone camera, traveling in a car at 120kph, I think it turned out pretty well. This Continue Reading...

Money, Giving and the Obligation of Love

The subject of giving and money often are areas of contention in many communities and perhaps no more so than in Church communities. There are many high profile and many everyday examples of an unhealthy emphasis on money which contributes to the fairly widely held belief that Church is more concerned about money than anything else. While in some cases Continue Reading...
