The Last Drop
Every year I put on a fundraiser for homeless veterans. When it is over I am completely spent. I have found that not all exhaustion feels the same. A reflection on 2 Timothy 4:6–8.

Call Your Shot
I am not a good pool player. But I have played with people who are masters — and the difference between us becomes clear the moment someone calls their shot. A reflection on Isaiah 40:3–5.
Served
Herod liked John. He knew John was righteous. He heard him gladly. And then he had him killed. This week we also mark 250 years as a nation — and honor the people who made a very different choice. A reflection on Mark 6:14–29.
Looking Out
Last Mother's Day, the schedule didn't work out quite the way anyone planned. One of my boys apologized to my wife for not being there. Her answer surprised me — and I have been thinking about it ever since. A reflection on John 3:25–30.
Wrong Lane
A few years ago I was at a Catholic retreat and some questions came up about the Eucharist. Other people around me felt it was their problem to solve. I'm not sure it was. A reflection on John 1:19–28.
Free Time
Zechariah had been unable to speak for nine months. When his voice finally came back, his first words were about God. I'm not sure I would have done nearly as well. A reflection on Luke 1:67–80.
