The Idea of Baseball

One of my colleagues recently wrote that she loved to play baseball. She wrote that when she was a batter, she would scan the field to see where there were weaknesses and then would move her body into the correct angle to hit the ball to that location. I questioned whether women or men who…

Honoring Mother Earth

This coming Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day! National Geographic WILD wants you and me to see what a wonderful world we live in. Maybe if we have more appreciation for our Mother Earth we will take better care of her. We, as a species, have not been doing a very good job so far.…

Taking Things Personally

Last Saturday afternoon, in preparation for my Sunday message, I re-watched some of Brene Brown’s work. I love her vulnerability, her authenticity. The title of Brown’s Daring Greatly book came from an inspirational Theodore Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena speech:  “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the…

Impersonal Nature of the Divine

It is great to be “Rooted in the Divine,” and it is good to remember that the principle is infallible. It is working all the time for everyone. “The rain falls on the just and the unjust.” Some people might claim that this is very unfair of God, not to reward those who are good…
