    Jesus Feeds the 5000 5000 people, all together in a tight space, all sweaty, and hungry, and tired. Kind of sounds like life on an aircraft carrier. No matter how long we have been in the service, be it 5 weeks or 5 years, we have already experienced crowds of people. Lines in the Galley, ...read more

    God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

    In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more
