Welcome!

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. Apart from Him, the true God cannot be fully known. In Jesus, we see the face of a God who is Love, and whose Gospel is the path of Peace. ​The Gift of Grace I believe salvation is found by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

Boisterous in the hills above, Cunning enough to know the fear, Dangerous, they said, Ever-hungry is not evil — Francis knows! I'm only a wolf!  -DTH- More at Line of Poetry

Cuddly at the cloister  Drowsy I sleep, Elegant in my indifference to the mad world. Friend to a woman of faith— Gentle cat, I hope - Clara's friend!  -DTH- More at Line of Poetry

Preaching to the Birds

Feathered congregation, Gathering without being called.  Hushed we listen,  Inquisitive heads tilted.  Joyful in our listening,  Keen-eyed, we saw what the crowd missed: Listening is a kind of love. Meek little birds,we may be, but we stayed. That was enough. -DTH- More at Line of Poetry

Sacred am I the small dove, Tender am I the war horse, Unafraid am I the fox,  Velvety am I the moth coming to the lamp to die, Wild the whole world, and it is all our brother. -DTH- More at Line of Poetry

“We own and believe in God, the only wise, omnipotent and everlasting God, the Creator of all things in heaven and on earth, and the Preserver of all that he hath made; who is God over all, blessed for ever. And we own and believe in Jesus Christ his beloved and only begotten Son, in whom he is well pleased. And we own and believe that he was made a sacrifice for sin, who knew no sin, and that he was buried and rose again on the third day by the power of his Father, for our justification, and that he ascended up into heaven. This Jesus who was the foundation of the holy prophets and apostles, is our foundation and we believe there is no other foundation to be laid but that which is laid, even Christ Jesus who tasted death for every man, shed his blood for all men, is the propitiation for our sins, and not ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
