Allhallowtide is a thin spot in the year, according to Celtic Christians
All Hallows Eve
All Souls Day
All Saints Day
Death is not an end but a doorway, love is stronger than the grave, and that the children of God bridges time and eternity.

Watching A Hidden Life during this 2nd Sunday of Lent. So much to reflect on

Contemplating
Meditating
Considering

the uncreated Light

Teaching on the Transfiguration on 2nd Sunday of Lent

We are approaching a thin time of the year. The ancient practice of observing Lent is something I found later in life, but now I crave the deep meaning and the thin places.

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.

Spending qt with Jesus

Speaking for the first time in 17 months. Teaching about Hagar today and her naming God, "El-Roi". Just a side note, it is pronounced "El Rohee" not El Roy.

The epitaph on the tombstone of christendom will read

They forgot they were servants when they made themselves kings.
Beth Moore

That will preach all day long

Once I interviewed Snoop Dogg for a magazine, and he told me about a time he stayed in a 7-star hotel. I said, “I didn’t know a hotel can get 7 stars.” He said, “That’s ‘cause you’re not a player.” I still can’t believe how hard I walked into that.

Snoop is a national treasure

Filling a pulpit the last Sunday of the month. First time in almost a year and a half.
Preaching on either Luke 4:14-19
Or Genesis 16:13 and the name of El Roi and how Jesus saw people in Matthew. It may not make sense but my ADD will tie it all together.
Any hot takes?

There are things I believe that I cannot explain or offer proof. My knowing is enough for me.
