Thank you! The congregation I serve loves you and so do I. This morning I referred to your interview with Kate Bowler - how we’re hungry - not for what we’re not getting but for what we’re not giving. πŸ’•

Friday Note: January 23, 2026 Two things can be true at once - the troubling and the joyful. May we choose generosity - to others and ourselves.

Winter weather and caring for ourselves and others.

Friday Note: January 16, 2026 I’m still savoring the joy of last Sunday morning at University UMC, ATX. Together in worship we renewed our baptism and recommitted ourselves to the work of β€œresisting evil, injustice and oppression ...

"Imagine offering up gold - not for a tyrant's ballroom but to help families in peril flee to safety." Too much for a Sunday sermon? I blame it on the magi in Matthew's Gospel.

Gov. Pritzker: β€œEarlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump…asked for me personally to say, β€˜Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?’ Instead, I say, β€˜Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.’”

Friday Note: July 11, 2025 If you are feeling pain in that soft part of your humanity, I wonder what it is that helps transform the pain. Whatever it is, take time for it - for your sake and for the sake of the world.

Acknowledging my anger awakened me to the deep grief and sorrow I’ve been carrying. Dear ones, be gentle with yourselves.

Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful.

What would Jesus do about this β€œBig Beautiful Bill”?

I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.
