Sometimes, Things Break 

Sometimes healing does not happen, sometimes it feels more important to be right and to point out who is wrong and the many, many ways of their wrongness.

Longings of the Soul

We all long for places where we can be our authentic selves, where we don’t need to change or hide to be welcomed and embraced.  A place to belong.  Belonging is an invitation not just to be a part of the whole, but to be whole.

This makes it hard to plan the day.” In the full quote, White decides that savoring is more important. This Labor Day, let us consider how … Continue reading To Save or Savor

To Know and Be Known

I am well convinced that the main reason people are part of this congregation is to be part of a community.

But across the board – everyone wants to be … Continue reading To Know and Be Known
