Smoke From a Distant Fire | April 24, 2005
There are two fires that I want to talk about in relation to today's gospel reading – specifically, John 14.6, which says “Nobody comes to the Father except through me.”

God Bless Us Everyone | December 24, 2004
A friend of mine is a priest in Chicago . Last year, instead of the normal Christmas Pageant, they decided to do a shortened version of Dickens' Christmas Carol.

The Peaceable Kingdom | December 12, 2004
734 B.C. Not a very good year to be in Israel. There was dangerous political intrigue. The wealthy were oppressing the poor, controlling both markets and labor. And warfare was imminent.

Come Home | September 12, 2004 - Years ago, I wrote a column for the Transcript papers. If I remember correctly, it ran here in Norwood . It was called “The Father Side,” and basically was about life as a dad trapped in suburban hell.

|
Can You Hear Me Now? | September 19 2004 -Is it that we're so busy talking to one another that we don't hear God?
|
|
I'll Be Home | March 21, 2004 – Fourth Sunday in Lent. Yes, we're going home - with what I think is the most beautiful parable in all the Gospels.
|
|
Don't Ask Me Why | March 14, 2004. For every complex problem there exists a solution that is straight-forward, simple, and wrong. – H. L. Mencken

It's Tempting, but... | February 29th, 2004. The Judean desert is a formidable place. It is mountainous. It is barren. It is scary. I know. I've seen it from inside an air-conditioned bus.
|
|
The First Shall Be Last: Oh, Really? | February 22, 2004. You do know what they call us in other parts of the country? They call us God's frozen people.
|
|
Two Trees | February 15th, 2004. They shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when relief comes.
|
 |
The Long-Distance Call | February 8th, 2004. Call can be a terrifying thing... It is a profoundly deep experience of Christ and the willingness to respond.
|
|
Prophets and Loss | January 18, 2004 (Martin Luther King Sunday) It's more than a speech: it's a sermon.
