Running for Freedom and Healing

April 28, 2021

“I picture myself running outside with lightness and a smile across my face.” This vision of myself as a happy, free runner seemingly came out of nowhere. I was listening to a spiritual teacher who encouraged me to write down a vision for my future. The thing about writing, especially with pen and paper, is that it tends to take on a life of its Read More

Take your dinner to go.

February 24, 2020

I just wanted to have a nice dinner. I’ll spare you the details, but while on a family vacation, I ended up saying this to a random person I got stuck next to at dinner one night, “I really don’t need you to explain the history of Christianity to me.” I’m not one to start fights, but I sure to get invited to a lot of them. They're hard to Read More

Time to shimmy out of that old skin.

January 3, 2020

The morning of New Year's Day, bleary-eyed and half-asleep, I was out walking my dog when I ran into a neighborhood kid carrying her puppy Chevy home. “Happy new year!” I said. “Did you make it to midnight?” “Yeah,” she said. “I had to help my pet snake shed his skin.”  Well, that was just about the last thing I Read More

How to Talk About Abortion in Church

February 15, 2019

Abortion. Does the word stir up emotions? Does it cause you unease, even anger? You’re not alone. Say “abortion” in a public setting, and undoubtedly the reaction will be strong and visceral. Say it in the pulpit? The idea is enough to make even the most prophetic among us quake and quiver. Our discomfort with discussing abortion, Read More

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NRSV) Isn’t January over yet? I started this month with so much zeal.

My Theme for 2019: Release

January 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

The new year is deliciously pristine, isn’t it? I tend to approach the month of January the way I enter my car after one of those rare occasions when I’ve vacuumed up all the leaves, Goldfish crackers, and various detritus from the floor mats: I’m delighted by the newness, and I’m anxious about making it dirty again.  Right now many of us Read More

Longing for (Dis)Connection

September 12, 2018

As I type this post, I have another browser window open to track the path of Hurricane Florence due to make landfall in my area sometime later this week. Though I now live a few hours inland, I grew up in a coastal town, so I know how unpredictable storms like these can be. It’s entirely possible that we will get a bit of rain and wind and nothing Read More
