This Ash Wednesday, we invite you to join us in praying through Doug McKelvey’s “An Exhortation Making Space to Speak of Dying” as we begin our Lenten journey: bit.ly/3sAbi2p “Death will not have the final word, so we need not fear to speak of it.”
"As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust." Ps. 103:13-14 Today we remember what our Father never forgets. His memory of our mortality yields compassion. #AshWednesday
"This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God." John 11:4 For the friend of Jesus, even an illness that leads to death does not lead to death. All is turned for the glory of God.

When I feel like dirt, I try to remember all the amazing things God has done with dirt.

An autumn-hued moon clings to the horizon, While Orion slumbers on his side. Together they hold out a heavenly invitation To rest in thanksgiving awhile.

"We might think that keeping quiet about [God's saving actions in our own histories] is modesty but its effect is the opposite. It allows others to believe we have overcome our problems and lived our lives on our own strength." @timkellernyc

"Above all let me live in your presence, for with you all fear is banished, and there is only harmony and peace. Let every day combine the beauty of spring, the brightness of summer, the abundance of autumn, and the repose of winter." Thomas Aquinas via @SkyeJethani #WithGodDaily

An engaging reflection on one my favorite albums. I liked it so much that I organized a concert at our church so I could hear @AndyGullahorn sing the songs live!
Ron Block tells us why Andy Gullahorn’s Fault Lines is an old favorite of his, making observations about how Andy achieves his effortless style: is.gd/yGzFkb “You let your guard down. Laughter opens your soul, and then he can put any number of good things in it.”

The B-side of “Abbey Road” is great on so many levels. I’ve certainly heard individual songs from it before, but having now listened to it straight through, it’s hard to think about separating them from each other.
Pete Peterson honors the life of Thomas McKenzie and offers his parting blessing: buff.ly/3y81rR2 “The fellowship is broken, and we cannot now know the full measure of his contribution to the great Story. But I see evidence of it everywhere.”

Collect for the Eighth Sunday after the Epiphany (BCP): Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties,

that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
