Coming Down
A couple years back I gave the closing talk to my first group of high school guys, the last night after four years together. I used the Transfiguration to tell them something I still believe. A reflection on Luke 9:28-36.
Brad Powers
Who, Me?
I sat in my car in a church parking lot years ago, certain I was the wrong guy to be teaching a room full of freshman boys about their faith. My guys still show up every year. A reflection on Galatians 3:23-29.
Sick Day
More than once, one of our sick boys ended up wedged between Stacey and me in the middle of the night, and there wasn't a thing we could do to fix what was wrong. A reflection on Ephesians 4:1-16.
Coffee Time
I got back to my home parish this week after weeks away. It was good to be back home, and my family had signed up for a fuller morning than I expected. A reflection on Romans 12:3-8.
On Call
My friends and I don't keep a list of who owes who. One phone call is all it's ever taken - storm damage, truck trouble, whatever the need is. A reflection on 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.
Go Time
I walked into an engineering meeting the morning after an overnight failure. I was trying to figure out who owned the mistake. The team taught me what that really meant. A reflection on John 17:20-23.
