    A foolish old farmer, so the story goes, concluded one day that the oats he had fed his mule for years were simply costing him too much. So, he hatched a plan: He mixed a little sawdust in with the feed, and then a little more the next day, and even more the next, each time reducing the amount of ...read more

On his farewell day, he spoke for 45 minutes blowing his own trumpet that I have done this, I have done that, I started this, I started that. I went around preaching in many parishes and they ...read more

    Someone has said that this is the only prayer in the Bible addressed to a saint that was not answered.

    We heard today from Luke 16:21, which says “Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.” Admittedly, the grammatical construction in the Greek can be translated as “worst of all" dogs would lick his sores. However, the ancients knew when a dog licks a person's sores or wounds, healing ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,189 views

    Forgiveness is a conditional gift offered that opens a relational space that expects a reciprocal response.

    There used to be a sign in the Princeton University Book Store basement which said: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Clever but love of enemies and forgiving, commanded by Jesus in our Gospel this Sunday, is not hoping that the other person will change or trying to be ...read more

     | 1,047 views

    We can all get stuck on the side of the road in different ways at different times in our lives.

    Several times the sparrow flew at the closed window and smacked itself into it, until it got so weak it could no longer fly; it only could walk.

    Pastor Don Friesen tells a fascinating story about a sparrow that somehow got into the rafters of St. Helen’s Parish Church in the English town of Brant Broughton.

Do you ...read more

By allowing Caesar to collect taxes, Jesus opposes the Pharisees by acknowledging ...read more
