That Bishop Royal’s argument  resonates so well with the conservative and pharisaic voices at the Jerusalem Council should give us pause.

Death’s Sting and Defiant Alleluias

Without the pain of death’s sting,

the celebration of resurrection is little more

than cultural sentimentality.

The Women Were There

The women were there.

They followed love to the cross,

and anointed death with their love.

to huddle with the Forsaken One,

in the week of his abandonment.

Bound to Betray … again

I've never known how to handle betrayal.

Especially in the community of faith.

Washing the blood stained feet of the betrayer,

hasn't been in my tool kit.

Immoderate Love

Love is excessive, extravagant, over-the-top, immoderate,

and it always, always, always hurts

God Still Breathes

A reflection on 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:2 for Ash Wednesday.

Before we get to the hard stuff,

Before we rightly acknowledge

before God and one another

our brokenness, sin,

and unrighteousness,

Lest we allow ourselves

to wallow in the pit

of shame and guilt.
