This day, Holy One, help me to see life through the eyes of another–the child of small stature, the overweight man, the woman with the prosthetic leg, the boy whose skin color differs from mine. Help me see the challenges and the blessings that I take for granted or to which I cling too tightly,… Read More
11th Hour Preacher Party: Rooted and Grounded
“I pray that…Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith as you are being rooted and grounded in love.” Ephesians 3:17 This is my favourite passage for beach walking. I’m fortunate enough to live just a few minutes from the beach and, most days, I can be found walking and meditating on this verse. It’s… Read More
Friday Prayer
Holy One of Perfect Love- Your servants have written: perfect love casts out fear. Yet I see so much fear everywhere. Our imperfect love creates fear. Crooked, off-balance love stirs fear. Flawed, self-seeking, other-shaming “love” feeds fear. How do we regain trust in your perfect love? How do we remember that your perfect love is perfecting us? What will it… Read More

Friday Prayer
Divine Love- I’m out of words. I stare blankly at walls, at floors, at news stories, at my own children. I fight and fight and fight and it does not end, But the struggle is not mine to abandon. If ever you truly did cause the earth to swallow the disobedient, If ever you truly… Read More

RevGalBookPals: God, Improv, and the Art of Living
When I am asked if I would like to receive a book for review on behalf of RevGalBlogPals, I say, “Yes!” I don’t say, “Yes, but I already have a lot to read and I don’t know when I’ll get to it.” (That’s not really a ‘yes’.) I don’t say, “No. I don’t want to… Read More
Thursday Prayer: Do Not Be A Friend of Job
The Lord answered Job’s friends out of the whirlwind: “Who is this that gives counsel by words without knowledge? What have you done with your freedom, I will question you, and you shall declare to me. “What do you know of Divine Prerogative that comes forth from love? Tell me, if you have understanding. How do you… Read More
