Today, I want to talk about the nature of stories particularly in relation to the Advent scriptures we heard read, and Dicken’s A Christmas Carol, our theme this advent season. I want us to see how these texts relate to us and our stories.
I studied writing as ministry in seminary, and from that I often teach a class in writing spiritual […]

Suppose Jesus Christ showed up in the neighborhood this week. What might a contemporary Christ be wearing? Can you picture Christ in comfortable, well-worn jeans and a T-shirt?

I was desperately trying to retain my sense of humor on Election Night, in a humor-as-a-life-preserver sort of way, when the image of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy bubbled up from somewhere in the labyrinth cellar of memory. Why? Because that fictional book […]

The first part of the book of Genesis answers a number of “Why?” questions. The myth of the tower of Babel seems to address the question of why we have so many languages on Earth.
It’s also a story about desire. Desire that seems insatiable.
The human beings, replenishing the human species after the great Flood, reached a new […]
