Read MoreWhat Really Matters
2012-06-12 I recently conducted a memorial service for a young woman who had taken her own life. She left behind a loving husband and her five year old daughter, as well as her mother and siblings. It was, in every sense of the word, a tragedy. I had only met this woman briefly on a…
Read MoreThrough the Roof
2012-06-18 There’s a transformational story in the fifth chapter of Luke (verses 17-26).

2012-07-07 “What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of the mind.” the DHAMMAPADA This summer, I decided to use contemporary movies as the “texts” for the worship services at my congregation. Partly, this was because I hadn’t been…
