I tried hard not to be jealous when a friend told me about his plans to spend this weekend skiing in Colorado. Then he sent a photo of the view he’s enjoying in Telluride.

Today’s find: Cornucopia
There’s nothing quite like doing a short stretch in prison…to sharpen one’s desire to give thanks.

Today’s find: Outrageous
First-time team members typically find the request shocking: We ask everyone who serves on team to round up 40 dozen homemade cookies, all to be shared with residents and staffers during our Kairos Prison Ministry weekend retreat.
Today’s find: Wounded & Sanctified
Daniel desires with all his heart to be free of the cell in which he is today imprisoned. He’s done hard time, more than a decade behind bars. He’s learned his lesson.
Or maybe it’s “lessons.”

I could hear the piston engines – their menacing murmur – long before I actually saw the planes the other evening.

Today’s find: O Key of David
For those in prison…and for those imprisoned by any deadly sins in their lives…we look with hope and expectation toward Jesus, the Key of David…in the fourth O Antiphon that’s prayed during these final days of Advent:
O Key of David,
opening the gates of God’s eternal Kingdom:
come and free the prisoners of darkness!

Today’s find: Splendid & Stark
It’s been a study in contrasts, to say the least.
Friday evening, I spent immersed in breathtaking beauty. Saturday noon, I stepped into a world distinguished by scallops of razor wire.
Good News for Lent…or any season of the year!
