Conduct us, O God, in the ways you would have us go. Keep testing our path, every day, every way. Amen.

Perhaps you have had a dream that tells you to change course? To conduct change? To go underground? To split? To cover your tracks? To take another way?

Mary’s got guts, and she’s pregnant with imagination. Pregnant with a Child. And like pregnant women, she dares to believe that it’s God’s new world growing in her womb, that her child will one day make all the difference.

It takes imagination to sing about a new world in the midst of the violence and pain of the old. It’s like a raised fist.

One thing about living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the debilitating shame.

An hour of being listened to without judgment allowed me to be everything I loathed myself for being: a complete wreck, a sobbing failure, an exhausted heap of terror.

I promise not to be so careless going forward. Well, I’d better not promise. I can be careless with promises, too. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen an unbroken one around here anyplace. Maybe there’s one on the shelf, next to my faith?

I tend to lose it a lot, as you know. It’s small. Breaks easily, too. All that exposure to corrosive elements. If it turns up, it might be just flecks and traces. I’d like to think that’s enough.

I initially thought this reflection would focus on today’s text from Galatians 6:7-10, where Paul proclaims, “God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.” His judgment of the Galatians could be titled “Letter to the Americans.”

I cannot live on anger alone. I am grateful for scripture’s praise of God’s creation and its reminder that God’s intention is not carnage and suffering, but glory and even joy.

O God, we give thanks that you have both the first word and the last one. Trusting this, may the words we speak and the lives we lead between be faithful to your Word. Amen

When it seems the end has come, “but God.” When you see no way forward or out, “but God.” When death has done its work and it seems all hope is gone, “but God.”

Said my head to my heart: look for what is written inside. God has put it there. God is there. We are God’s people. If we grasp nothing else from the totality of scripture, may we hold onto this.
