Discipleship and Haiti
When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right…

Gratitude: A Christmas Eve Reflection on the Lukan Story
It doesn’t start off sounding like a particularly special or noteworthy story—“In those days, a decree went out from Emperor Augustus, that all the world should be registered.” No warning that this story is THE story, just information, a setting, a time and a place.

A blog about (not) blogging, and other experiences that take my breath away

Reason, Faith and Revolution
