Transfiguring The Future

Contributed by Nathan Webb on Aug 16, 2023

The Transfiguration of Jesus not only shows us his glory, it gives us a commandment.

What would you do if you knew the future? If you knew what was going to happen, I would imagine that a trip to Vegas would be in order. At the least you would have a pretty cool party trick. In our Gospel today, three of the disciples get a glimpse of the future. Jesus takes Peter, James, and ...read more

The Spirituality Trap

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023

We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

My mom tells me that when we were little she could dress my sister and me up for church in starched white petticoats and send us out to play in the yard until time to leave for church and be absolutely certain that we wouldn’t have a spot on us. We LOVED to dress up. There was no way we were going ...read more
