Going the Distance
The first thing Holy Sprit brought on Pentecost made was not an experience. It was a new way of life — one rooted in love. A reflection on Acts 2:42–47.
Beyond the Gate
The greatest miracle of Pentecost is not the fire. It's the room that was ready when the fire came. A reflection on Acts 2:1–13.
Not Rocket Science
In 1999 NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter because two teams were using different units of measurement. It turns out we make the same mistake with God. A reflection on Joel 3:1–5.
Paid in Advance
When I think about the Apostles accepting their martyrdom, I wonder what they were reaching for in that final moment. I like to think they were back in the upper room. A reflection on John 14:25–31.
Almost Home
Thérèse of Lisieux knew where her home was before she was old enough to go there. David felt the same way about the temple. What they both learned is that the leaving has its own gift. A reflection on Psalm 27.
Countdown
When I was young my dad would count down the minutes with me after the Eucharist. It took me a long time to understand I had been counting down on exactly the wrong thing. A reflection on Romans 8:14–17.
