On the Christian calendar today is Good Friday. What’s good about it? What’s good about betrayal, suffering, death and loss? If we look at things through the eyes of Friday only, we easily forget there’s Sunday. There’s a day coming when Friday makes sense. If you have ever gone through a dark season and cameContinue reading “What’s Good About It?”

Because I Had To
Our principal’s secretary shared this with us recently. Maybe it was borrowed –not sure: ‘ I’m stronger because I had to be, I’m smarter because of my mistakes, happier because of the sadness I’ve known, and now wiser because of what I have learned! ‘ I couldn’t help but reflect on the times ‘I had to’ evenContinue reading “Because I Had To”
Why Not Me
I consider myself to be really blessed to find some sense of purpose in my career. From time to time, there is a challenge that opens my heart and mind – an opportunity for growth in grace. One day a student walked into my class and told me he is supposed to be with meContinue reading “Why Not Me”

The winds are howling, the rain is battering your shelter and you hear all sorts of perplexing noises. The night isContinue reading “In the Storm”

Could not find the strength to face each day. My mind was in a very unhealthy place. Ironically, church was the hardestContinue reading “This is My Tomorrow”
Those Desires
This past week I reflected a bit on those deep desires that we sometimes can’t seem to shake. Year in and year out they remain unmoved. They are with us when we go to sleep and when we wake up. Though we try to bury them, they resurrect at the most expected time. We reasonContinue reading “Those Desires”
