Wednesday Wondering "It’s easy for me to make God too small."

Today, I’m looking back & ahead wondering how often I make God too small.
At 60, I’m learning: faith isn’t about comfort. It’s about trusting a God bigger than my understanding.
What might I discover if I dared to step out from under that shade?

Still Christmas is here!

Two former Trump voters. One admits the church shaped his views. The other insists she was always right.

Honesty about influence is the first step toward independent thinking — and that’s what terrifies institutions most.

Jesuit, who’s it?
You with rules and tools?
Me with chaos and storm?

Neither is wrong—sound the gong.
God is more than both.
Worship Him in song.

A Choice of Communion Or: Every Choice Is a Sin

Just dropped a new poem on substack:
