		<description><![CDATA[During a recent sermon, I read one of my favorite stories to the congregation. It is a book by Robert Munsch called Love You Forever. It tells of a mother who watches her son grow up through the years, longing to express the incredible love that all good parents feel for their children. In the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday, we read from the Gospel of John. The text is a bit convoluted, a bit mystical, and simply amazing. The placement of this passage is weird in the flow of the lectionary texts. We made it through Holy Week, crucified Jesus, raised him, and were journeying with him through the days following his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dalai Lama says that, while he knows nothing about death, not having died, that he imagines it a “new outfit, a new set of clothes.”  Wordsworth the poet said almost the same thing, “death is moving into a new room.”   Jesus people say, “O Death, where is thy Sting?”(I Corinthians 15:55) We know that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Sunday is, of course, Mother’s Day. (You didn’t forget, did you?) It is a great Hallmark holiday, but not one of the holy days of the church. Many churches celebrate the day, and for many mainline churches Mother’s Day is the second most-attended Sunday. I quit observing Mother’s Day in church a long time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a crisis or conflict comes our insecurity too often causes us to see our response in terms of fight or flight. Jesus invites us to consider a third way. Rather than the dualism of villain/victim, right/wrong, winner/loser, children of God refuse to dual. Instead, we choose the path of living as a peace-maker. A [...]]]></description>

Dotson tells the story this way: Will Steger is an adventurer, a man who seeks out places where no one has stepped foot before.

It is a book that is quoted entirely too often by people whose only experience with the Bible is what they hear on television or read in apocalyptic fiction books or People magazine.
