I Gain Nothing
I've heard it dozens of times at weddings and in sermons. My dad made me memorize it, and I've taught it to my children. Today, I sat in church and listened to I Corinthians 13 as if hearing it again for the first time. I felt the weight of my failings to love others--specifically those who I have labored for and given the most of my strength and possessions. “If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love... Continue reading

January is my time for resolutions, but not this year. This year I’m an old sock. I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of my worn parts, and all I want to do is to darn a few holes and relax in the comfort of being me. Instead of my usual twenty or so resolutions, I’ve decided on just one: My mornings will begin with a spirit of joy. I am NOT a morning person. I want the day to nudge me awake. I want it to coo like a baby and wrap me in a blanket and set me by... Continue reading

Philippians 4:6-8, Part II (first)
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Our thoughts should be true (not lies of the world), noble (lofty, elevated, high-minded), pure, lovely, admirable, excellent,and praiseworthy. Today, I googled "average number of thoughts in a day." I got a wide range of answers. We have somewhere between 30,000 to 70,00o daily opportunities to practice this verse. When we do so, we are transformed into Christ-like beings who live happy, emotionally healthy lives. But how do we develop the habit... Continue reading

First Happenings
A morning-glory morning with its usual glory, dawn particularly startling with citrons and mauves, petunias in the garden flashing their tender signals of grattitude. The sunflowers creak in their grass-colored dresses. Cosmos, the four o'clocks, the sweet alyssum nod to the roses who so politely nod back. And now it is time to go to work. At my desk I look out over the fluttering petals, little fires. Each one fresh and almost but not quite replicable. Consider wearing such a satisfying body! Consider being, with your entire self, such a quiet prayer. -Mary Oliver Maybe being with my entire... Continue reading
