Welcoming my eldest to her new responsibility over sushi. We’re talking politics, voting strategies (choose the bus that gets you closer to your destination rather than hoping for a perfect airline ticket that goes directly there),

My son texted me today from school asking where he could get a lava cake. I suggested he could make one. He agreed, I got the ingredients, and he just finished!

My work today: Producing a live stream training about deep self-care for therapists and other trauma workers. I think this one will get edited into an on-demand training this summer since it’s such an important and timely need.

Was introduced to this prayer on my recent trip. Been thinking about it a lot. A Prayer for Groups By Pádraig Ó Tuama.

God of groups, You are within and beyond all of our borders: Our names for you, our words about you, Our gatherings, our stories about you.

Today is some of the best the PNW has to offer. 65 degrees. Sunshine. Blue skies. All the flowering trees in full effect. Just perfect.

Rev. B. Cremer, again with the cutting truth: “When you worship power, compassion will look like a sin.”

I’m on a nearly 3-week trip in Greece and Turkey seeing amazing things and learning so much history. But this morning I got a text from my amazing daughter that, I think, is the high point of my trip! 😄

See this image? Worth keeping in mind especially in the coming months. It’s also known as Brandolini's Principle of Asymmetry.

Zach has it exactly right. // "God is on our side" makes for a clever, feel-good cliché, but it's not true. God is on the side of love, peace, justice, and redemption. If we are on that side, God is there with us. If we are not, God beckons us to switch sides.

Did something I haven’t done in years. Laid down with good headphones and listened to an entire album front to back. I used to do this a lot. Going to do it more. Tonight’s album: Joshua Tree.

Peaceful Sunday morning. She used to be a feral people-hater. I used to be a desperate perfectionist and control freak. Maybe we all can grow towards greater peace.

I love this framing: “Here, then, are the two least misleading ways of speaking about the God who surpasses our understanding: he is personal, and he is love.” (From Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way, 21)

To repent is to wake up, not to our own short comings but to God’s love. Whew. This book! Such a refreshing and healing understanding of repentance. The wisdom of the Greek fathers continues to expand and lighten my faith experience.

Just so you never feel inadequate, I offer you this important home owner truth: “No trip to the hardware store is ever complete without a second trip to the hardware store.”

A blessing for your morning: “You give me a new day of life, a new unopened book of unrealized possibilities, and You command me to write my name inside it. You entrust me to enter indelibly into Your world.”

John’s gospel has Jesus saying, “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” My Christian friends, does our vision of Christianity in the world look like the way of Jesus?

My work for the next three days. Producing a livestream training for therapists who work with trauma survivors. My nerd skills, ADHD brain, and personal story all come together to make me good at this! 😁

When I was young I thought faith was an armor of certainty in an uncertain world. Those old certainties are mostly long gone, and I am moved by visions of faith, like this one, where faith is a way of walking into the uncertainty.

The sun rises. Perhaps this year can be a better one? Praying for peace, for wisdom, for more patience with each other. May we each be part of reconciliation and renewal in our own circle and world.
