Jesus tells us: Be One! One. Unified. That’s how Jesus wants his followers to act. Love each other, and be one. Jesus prayed this prayer for us just before he left this earth. He must have known how hard it gets for us humans to follow those two seemingly simple commands! “The glory that you […]
And, Happy Mother’s Day! When evil pounces, God is there with us – but that doesn’t mean God makes it all go away! Jesus knew his followers would draw attack and even suffer divisions within their ranks. Evil is a part of this world. So he prayed to the Father, “Protect them!” “I ask you […]

“I am asking… on behalf of those whom you gave me.” In the gospel for this coming Sunday, we hear Jesus praying that God protect us for our life in the world. We join with Matthias, the newly chosen disciple No. 12, to witness to Christ’s resurrection. Today is the seventh Sunday of Easter. This […]
Some years ago, we did some fall landscaping around our home. I’m sure you know that routine. We did some leveling, and then killed the grass and weeds with ROUNDUP® so nothing could possibly grow. Then we put down heavy black plastic, to keep the sun out, the weeds and stuff from growing, and the […]
