Hope

Pastoral Messages | May 21, 2015

Hope, it seems, can be very hard to find. On Monday, I found myself at the gym, trying to do anything that would distract me from the painstakingly slow clock ticking down on the treadmill. So I looked up at the handful of TV screens lining the front…

Between gratitude and despair

Pastoral Messages | April 30, 2015

At night, by train

Pastoral Messages | January 8, 2015

Last week I sat on an Amtrak train heading southwest towards a New Year’s visit with my family. Not long after I took my seat by the window, the winter sun began to set. And by late afternoon my view turned from various shades of brown, frozen fields…
