Dear Friends, Welcome. ​This space exists for one reason: ​love — ​the love of God poured out in Jesus Christ, ​the love we are called to extend ​to one another, ​and to the world. ​There are many voices clamouring for our attention. Here, you will find the rhythm of one heart seeking to follow the way of Love. My ministry does not happen behind heavy church doors or within rigid institutional walls. It happens in the quiet, ordinary spaces of life where we learn to walk together at an unhurried pace. This is a faith rooted not in tradition for its own sake, but in the living, active, self-giving love at the heart of the Gospel. ​Three truths have become my anchors: ​The Living Word Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh.

Following in the Footsteps of the Poor Lady: Reflections on St. Clare

This post is written in Easy English. Easy English uses short sentences and simple words. It is easier to read and understand. It can help people who find reading hard. It can help people who are learning English. It can help anyone who wants a quick, clear read. I hope you enjoy it. 2 Corinthians 8:9: "You know that our Lord Jesus Christ is very kind. He was rich, but he made himself poor to help you. So then, because he became poor, you could become rich." (Easy English Bible) Today, some of us who follow Jesus remember a woman named Clare of Assisi. She lived a long time ago. She looked at the wealth and power around her. And she chose something different. She chose a simple life. She chose humility. She loved Christ with her whole heart. I try to follow Jesus in this same way. I try to live gently, with peace, and with others by my side. Clare and Francis touch something deep in me. I fail often. I know this about myself. Clare was not perfect either — no saint ever is. ...

Be Still Podcast Episode 1

Listen here. Episode script based on the World English Bible. British Spelling Edition.  Be Still — Episode 1 [COLD OPEN] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge. (Psalm 19:1–2) [THE NARRATIVE] We begin where the story itself begins. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:1–5) [SILENCE] [BE STILL] (fixed every episode) He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm...

Have you heard of Lammastide?

I am thinking of August very much as early 🍁Autumn. It turns out I'm not the only one to have felt this way. There is an ancient holiday called Lammastide . This holds to a similar idea. It marks the start of harvest and Lammas means loaf.  So happy harvest, early autumn/fall! 🐿
