Prayer
This week’s featured book: Writings of the Desert Fathers & Mothers by Keith Beasley-Topliffe, Editor Today’s Reflection Abba Macarius was asked, “How should one pray?” The old man said, “There is no need at all to make long discourses; it is enough to stretch out one’s hands and say, ‘Lord, as you will, and as […]
Hope
This week’s featured book: Walking in the Wilderness by Beth A. Richardson Today’s Reflection The people of Israel modeled for us a way that leads to hope. They grumbled and complained in the wilderness, but the Holy One gave them what they needed to survive. The psalmists cry out in despair and, in the next […]
Lament
This week’s featured book: Walking in the Wilderness by Beth A. Richardson Today’s Reflection Sometimes I wonder, Where are you today, God? Do you not see what is going on here in this world? People are suffering! The earth is groaning in pain! Are you there? Are you listening? We see in the scriptures that […]
Collecting My Tears
This week’s featured book: Walking in the Wilderness by Beth A. Richardson Today’s Reflection A number of years ago, someone gave me a small, handblown glass vial made by a collective of Palestinian women. I was going through a difficult wilderness season—a season filled with tears. It was comforting to hold the little turquoise vase […]

There is great suffering in the world, in communities, churches, and families. We can be honest in expressing to God our hopes and our fears, our anger and our despair. Our spiritual ancestors modeled […]

A Legacy of Acceptance
In his book Breaking Down Walls, Glen Kehrein writes about climbing to the roof of his college dorm in Chicago after the assassination of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. “The sound of gunfire bounced eerily back and forth off the large buildings, and soon my rooftop perch provided a near […]
The Wonderful One
In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion return to Oz with the broomstick that empowered the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wizard had promised, in return for the broomstick, that he would give the four friends their deepest desires: a ride home for Dorothy, a […]
Mighty
Baby Saybie, born as a “micro-preemie” at 23 weeks, weighed only 8.6 ounces. Doctors doubted Saybie would live and told her parents they’d likely have only an hour with their daughter. However, Saybie kept fighting. A pink card near her crib declared “Tiny but Mighty.” After five months in the hospital, Saybie miraculously went home […]
All Roads?
“Don’t get on the expressway!” That text came from my daughter one day as I was leaving work. The highway home had become a virtual parking lot. I began trying alternate routes, but after experiencing gridlock on other roads, I gave up. The trip home would have to wait till later in the day, so […]
Our Compassionate God
The winter night was cold when someone threw a large stone through a Jewish child’s bedroom window. A star of David had been displayed in the window, along with a menorah to celebrate Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. In the child’s town of Billings, Montana, thousands of people—many of them believers in Jesus—responded to […]
