Even when our lives get complicated, the Shepherd keeps calling our name. If we lose track of Jesus, He never loses track of us.

When we allow ourselves to bring our vulnerability to the table and share it in trust with those we love, Jesus is present. Jesus consecrates our time, our mutual care for one another, and the food we eat.

Relax. Don’t worry. Allow doubt to take its turn on the dance floor of your soul. When it is finished, Faith will dance the finale with a flourish.

Jesus is fully human and fully divine. The tomb is not necessary for the divine nature of Jesus.

Your return to us is God’s blessing raining down on us. We love you, faithful shepherd, warm-hearted pastor, and dear friend.

Reconciliation is about our deepest and most broken parts being made whole through God’s power and love. That is far too important not to be done with absolute truth, humility, and hope.

Nicodemus is our guy.  He believed, yet he was reticent and did not go “all in” with the disciples.  

We are called to be God’s dwelling. It is in us and through us that God is made known.

We find comfort and peace in out-of-the-way places. They are only meant to be a respite, not a place to make camp.

God will plant an eternal rainbow in our hearts. Like Jesus, we can know God’s promise that He will be with us always.
