Remembering Feryl: A Journey Through Depression and Hope
Dear Feryl, I can remember your funeral. I was there, and while I don’t remember many of the details, one in particular stands out. I’ve never forgotten that detail – the detail that you were there – you sang at your own funeral. You always had such a beautiful singing voice, and I remember hearing…

For the past seven years, I’ve been walking labyrinths throughout the northeastern United States, and blogging about them.

This is an adapted form of the sermon I preached on Sunday, July 2. The gospel reading was Matthew 10:40-42. You can view a video of the sermon here. It’s a very short gospel reading today, just three verses. But in this little gospel reading, I find there is a deep question, an amazing bit…

A Question for YOU about the Enneagram

A Question for YOU about my Online & Social Media Presence
I’m dissatisfied with my current web and social media presence. I’m using WordPress.com for the backend of my blog, and I don’t find it as user-friendly as I’d like.

The Third Way of Love (Sermon)
This is an adapted form of the sermon I preached this morning, the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany. The gospel reading was Luke 6:27-38. There is a third way. There is always a third way. I believe that. Now, I don’t always succeed in acting on that. I don’t even always remember that I believe it.…
