Generosity in a time of outrage
The following originally appeared in my newsletter, Welcoming and Wandering. Click to read and subscribe for free.
In these vitriolic and violent times, we feel lost. Spiritually adrift. Uncertain. Maybe even afraid.
Fear closes us down, keeps us from welcoming. Keeps us from listening, which is of course an essential part of welcoming. (Want more on listening as a spiritual practice? My book L

As a writer and book lover, I enjoyed this book, which traces the history of bookshops in America from Benjamin Franklin's print shop to Amazon. It's a historical account of the book industry, which I found interesting because I am in that industry. B ...more |

| I enjoy all of Lisa See's book, this was no exception. Set in the 1400s in China, it tells the story of a woman who (against cultural norms) studies medicine, learning it from her grandparents. She seems so progressive, yet she also embraces the prac ...more | |

| The writing alone made this book worth reading. So lush and gorgeous. Houston buys a 120-acre ranch in the Rockies and tends it, even as she must sometimes leave to travel for work. (The adventures with her "ranch sitters" are sometimes funny and oth ...more | |

of
God's Whisper in a Mother's Chaos: Bringing Peace Home:
"I just need to say that a single passage from this book got me through several years when my children were young. I was a stay at home Mom for the first time, in a new city, feeling isolated, and Keri came and spoke to the MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoole"

“But no temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite. Every rock in its walls seems to glow with life. Some lean back in majestic repose; others, absolutely sheer or nearly so for thousands of feet, advance beyond their companions in thoughtful attitudes, giving welcome to storms and calms alike, seemingly aware, yet heedless, of everything going on about them.”
John Muir |

“Galatians 5:22-23 describes the fruit of the Spirit, which is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Notice the verse does not say the "fruits" of the Spirit, but fruit. The fruit, or result, of the Spirit working in our lives is that we become not just some but all of these things: more loving, more patient, more faithful, and so forth. This verse is not a to-do list for us to work through, but a description of the transformation that occurs when God's Spirit begins to work in us.”

“The fields...are white already to harvest" (John 4:35 KJV), or as other versions put it, "ripe for harvest."...One part of the harvest metaphor we may have missed was the importance of timing-there is a season for both sowing and reaping, and sometimes there is a season of simply waiting and watering.”

“Church, in the New Testament sense of the word, is not a meeting we attend, but a group of which we are a part, and a group we serve within.”

“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.”
