Time is everything, and time is nothing at all.  What we have is time, and our only real choices in life are how to spend it.  Will we spend it being productive, or will we instead fret at our lack of productivity?  Will we spend it isolating ourselves, or will we use it to build… read more

A prayer of Hope: Life is a Promise.  It is the promise of opportunity, the promise of joy, the promise of suffering, and the promise of redemption.  In the fullness of time, Life fulfills all of it’s Promises.  So do not despair utterly when heartache and suffering seem unbearable: this is merely the fulfillment of… read more

Today may we join in fellowship and community.  May we be reminded of the roots that bind us.  May we recall that we are more together than we are individually.  May we endeavor to bring our whole, best selves.  May what we offer be received graciously.  May we receive gratefully.  Let us rejoice with each… read more

Whatever the challenge, no matter the obstacle, may we meet it with confidence and grace.  Whether we surmount it is less significant than how we engage it.  May we muster all that we are as we greet the day and all it has to offer.  For fortitude and character we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and… read more

Today we continue, for that is what we are called to do.  Our procession may not be particularly regal.  We may be, as the poet says, slouching towards Bethlehem.  Whatever our posture, as we greet the day, may we continue to be open to revelation and to wonder.  May we see the world with our… read more

Prayer is call and response: we ask how, and the universe answers.  We ask why, and soon the reason is apparent.  We ask when, and suddenly realize it is now.  Prayer is less about ‘give it to me’ than it is about it is about ‘may we find it together.’  Prayer does not guarantee answers,… read more
