Love Builds Up
This past winter my family went ice skating. We were excited but particularly my daughter. We arrived, got all our gear on, and were ready to hit the ice. But our ticketed time was 3 PM, so we had to wait another 15 minutes. As if she solved the problem of how to pass the time, my daughter excitedly suggested that we should get a snack. I countered with the proposal that we skate first and eat afterward. She agreed.

By Another Road …
The start of a New Year and a new season brings with it wonder about what lies ahead. It’s in our human nature to respond to this wonder by setting new goals, new plans and new behaviors to live into a new rhythm. We enter the New Year as an invitation to begin again. This call to start anew is propelled by the journey of yesterday. In the wonder of the now and not yet of our pastoral call, we find ourselves seeking God for what can be, based on what has been. As we begin again, we look back to move forward, letting the experiences of last year shape our hopes and expectations about life and ministry in 2021, the year ahead.

Ven a la Luz
Este año ha sido difícil para muchos de nosotros/as. Hemos aprendido nuevas formas de hace ministerio. Cosas que nos tomaban algunas horas ahora nos toman más de lo esperado. Podríamos decir que estamos cansados/as. Podríamos decir que estamos acabados/as. Cuando ese tiempo libre llega para recuperar nuestras fuerzas, reflexionamos y entendemos que no podíamos seguir adelante porque solo veíamos la oscuridad y no la luz. No veíamos la luz, no porque no la queríamos ver, sino porque todos nuestros sentidos estaban cerrados y no nos permitían ver más allá.

Come to the Light
It amazes me how art can be created in so many ways and with so many different materials. In this work that I created, a material that is used for shoes is transformed into a piece of art to create the effect of light and darkness.
