Like the Wind
DAY OF PENTECOST
Sunday’s Reflection
MAKE US LIKE THE WIND — ever-moving and ever moving others. And with joy we will dance with the leaves. In submission we will linger in the shade, cooling the skin of those scorched by the sun’s heat. In awe we will pause and be still enough to hover over creation, admiring [...]
The Divine Call
Saturday’s Reflection
THE DIVINE CALL
is not simply to do something great
but to live close to God,
to share God’s loving intentions
for the world.
- Marjorie J. Thompson and Stephen D. Bryant

God of the Good News
Friday’s Reflection
GOD OF THE GOOD NEWS,
in the fullness of my life,
empty me of distractions.
Still my busyness.
Quiet my chatter.
Sing your song of grace to me
until the tune rings
in the core of my being
and my life resonates
with your good news.

Let God Change You
Thursday’s Reflection
WE MUST BE OPEN to letting God change us. Inner change is not just a do-it-yourself job. We all know what usually happens when we grit our teeth, clench our knuckles, and try to change ourselves through our own efforts. We come up short. While there might be some outward changes for a brief [...]
Cultivating Compassion
Wednesday’s Reflection
CULTIVATING COMPASSION can be costly. …
All human loyalties are reordered by the way of the cross. … Loyalty that is cross-shaped calls us to love our enemies instead of harming them. Cruciform loyalty calls us to stand in solidarity with people throughout the world, regardless of national boundaries or corporate interests. Cruciform loyalty [...]
God the Sculptor
Tuesday’s Reflection
GOD, YOU ARE INDEED A SCULPTOR and a musician at heart. Standing on your snowy peaks, I hear the timpani of your thundering waterfalls and the breeze in the pine trees as your woodwinds. Don’t get me wrong, I love exploring cities; but without the wilderness, I drown in noise. Amen.
- W. Paul Jones
An [...]
In the Face of Distractions
Monday’s Reflection
PRAYER IS DIFFICULT. It is not the techniques that are hard — most of the techniques are amusingly easy. Rather the difficulty lies in following through on the commitment to pray in the face of distractions that bear down on us or pick at us like annoying bugs, driving us away from the presence [...]
Shine through Me
SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER
Sunday’s Reflection
THE PURPLE LUPINE in my garden grew
recklessly, uncontrollably,
and because I didn’t prune, the flourishing
cut off light to nearby seedlings.
I want to learn from the lupine,
and pray: Lord, in my life
show me what needs to be pared back,
released, relinquished,
so your light shining to me
shines through me,
and nothing is diminished.
Amen.
- Roberta Porter
Alive Now [...]
Re-Create Me
Saturday’s Reflection
GOD,
forgive my faults
and re-create me
in your love,
through Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Grace-Filled Links
Friday’s Reflection
MORE URGENTLY THAN EVER BEFORE, the biblical mandate to “show hospitality to strangers” (Heb. 13:2) summons us to create a world where nonuniformity breeds not estrangement but engagement. Every encounter, however small, which forms grace-filled links between diverse groups is part of that effort.
