Posted in: What Are the Most Meaningful Parts of Holy Week and Easter to You?
Love this! "While Easter is deeply personal, it is also universal" is a statement that really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing.

Posted in: Hello, My Name Is. . . Racist
I was deeply challenged by the book Waking Up White. There are so many things you don't know that you don't know. I appreciate the spirit of vulnerability that it took to share this post and I hope to follow in your lead. Thank you for sharing the specific practice ideas!

Love these specific examples of how simple it can be to include all ages. Thanks Karen!

Thanks for this information and important discussion, Mark. Please keep challenging us and pointing us to those who are being marginalized.
Posted in: What Are You Doing for Lent?
In previous years I have given up various things (i.e. pop) for Lent but this year I am planning to finish reading through the Gospels (I'm currently in the middle of Luke). Lately I have been struck by how often Jesus talks about the importance of having faith. I'm going to be looking for specific ways this season to 'increase' my faith, maybe through bold giving or by listening more closely to the Spirit's leading. To do this, I'm hoping to be still more often (less media, tv, distractions).

Posted in: Loving God More Than His Blessings
Sam, this post is a gift. I am going to save this blog (maybe even print it out) to read when the hard times come (as they will). I love the person Job became as he trusted God in the fields of pain and suffering. Thanks so much.
Posted in: When Healing is Elusive
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have recently struggled to gain a better understanding of these verses and how sometimes healing does not come in the way we think it will. I appreciate your soft heart and wise words. Your faith is an encouragement to me!
