It’s only about 530 miles from the St. Louis metro area…to Gatlinburg, TN…but five years ago this weekend, I remember thinking it seemed like a million.
Today’s find: Awake, again.
On this, the Feast of the Transfiguration, thought I might re-post a reflection I wrote a bit earlier this year…when we were blessed to visit the very spot where Jesus dazzled…even as some key disciples dithered. Here’s what I wrote back in mid-Lent:
Perhaps Peter should have traveled by taxi up to the top of Mount Tabor. That experience certainly would have kept him from falling asleep.
Today’s find: Deadwood
We took a short hike at Castlewood the other day, and by the end I found myself wandering – in a bit of wonder – around Colossae.
Today’s find: Arnie & Abraham
It occurs to me that I might enjoy playing a round of golf with Abraham, the biblical patriarch.
Today’s find: Fertile ground
It wasn’t a flash mob, exactly…but I had to wonder what the locals thought as they strolled by Ss. Peter & Paul parish in downtown Waterloo, IL last evening.
Today’s find: No show
‘You got it all wrong.’
This uncomfortable notion turned out to be my main take-away (and perhaps the greatest blessing) of our visit a few months back to the Tel Arad National Park in Israel.
Today’s find: Moonshot
We found a piece of treasure a couple of years ago, my brothers and I, as we rooted around the bedroom where we’d grown up.
Today’s find: Neighbor
Is it enough?
The question popped briefly into my consciousness yesterday, as we spent some time ministering inside the prison.
Today’s find: Slaked
A new piece of liturgical “art” appeared in my parish church this week – and it filled my heart with wonder.
Today’s find: No doubt
In a blessedly sweet irony, Judy was not even “in the house” as the eyewitness reports came pouring in on the feast of St. Thomas.
