Maybe it comes down to this. Easter weekend, cooking dinner for my kids, and our close neighbor friends. Good food (I hope!), good convo, fun for everyone, celebrating love and together. And Jesus among us. Love. Simple.

Easter: Love Wins
Love wins. Above everything else -- Heresy! Some might say — I think this is the message of Easter. God loves humanity. God came into the world to be with us and show us the way. And when we rejected that message, that love, God still loved us, to the very end. And still loves …
The Mystery of the Triduum
Dusk, Maundy Thursday, to dusk, Easter Sunday, just what went on? Two thousand years ago, hard to know, hard to know. Christians believe in the mystery, the final lessons and suffering and darkness that gave way to the greatest of all acts of love, God come to the world, God among us. What do I …
“Love Never Fails”
This Good Friday, I feel pretty far from the usual church ideas and rituals around celebrating this day. For us Christians, today is one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The darkest day gives way to the brightest, a couple days following. It feels …
Stutter Step

A Dad’s Joy
Right out the gate, maybe that’s a little ego-centric…after all, I bet most parents share this joy. Listening to your kids sleep. I love it. We have a small house, so I can hear them across the way, or down the hall. Sometimes I go in to their room just to blow them a kiss. …

My First Rock n Roll Love Affair: Y & T
I was just fourteen. I loved other music before this band. But this was the first band I took proper fan ownership of. 1981. My first show. Actually the night before my fourteenth birthday. From then until today, 41.07 years now, certain Y & T songs, They take me back decades, They light the fire, …
Crawling Out Of COVID
Preface. My daughters and I have had mild to moderate COVID, nothing like life-threatening, etc.; but then, we didn’t know how it would go up front. Whatever the severity, it’s been a two week disruption on our lives. Near two weeks in, we’re all coming out of the main stint of the illness; it feels …
