He Shall Be Their Peace

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Pete

My readings combined this morning to form a wondrous panoramic view. From the Babe of Bethlehem foretold to the Ruler of the Nations promised, from the cross of Calvary to a war in heaven, I was a bit overwhelmed by … Continue reading →

The Temple Opened

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Pete

So often I focus on Jesus’ revelation to John as something to be figured out rather than something to be experienced. I can be so intent on the “the trees” that I miss “the forest” . . . so consumed … Continue reading →

Gospel Words

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Pete

On the Outskirts

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Pete
