but what we need to do today, for the people who groan with anxiety and hunger.

Some think our leadership in the United States might reflect the second coming. We can expect more.

A reflection on events and discussion of this week - we cannot confuse a revolution with a revival.

If we are - do we show it?

A lot - if we are people of faith.

Sorry, I forgot to post it. I recorded it on Friday, but got distracted.

I was trying to come up with a different title for this episode - but this one works.

Yes, you heard me.

...that can't be right, can it?

or just passing acquaintances?

I hope so.

That is always a good question, and maybe we are especially focusing on this time of year.

Well, what's that mean for you? What is truly important in our lives?

Let us ask, seek, and knock, not just expecting God to provide answers, but ready to be the hands and feet through which God's will is fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven. 

This is a question we all need to answer.

What concrete things can we do to truly live out the message of this parable?

The gospel reading that recounts Matthew's call to follow Jesus is a call for us as we remember the gifts we have received as citizens of the United States.

Peter and Paul show us the way.

Hopefully, we recognize that our consuming the body and blood of Christ can make us like him.

We thank God for the earthly fathers who, in their imperfect but beautiful love, gave us the first language to understand our Heavenly Father, who looks upon each of us today and says, “You are the most important person in the world to me.”
