The Sheep and the Goats

All the statues are white
I’m at St. Mary Parish in Arcade, NY for Eucharistic Adoration and I’m facing a statue of St. Joseph. I’ve come here many times but today I’m struck by the flesh tones of the statue. I grew up in this … Continue reading

The Life of Jesus Reimagined
The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd My rating: 5 of 5 stars A remarkable book of historical fiction. I always enjoy Sue Monk Kidd’s work and this was true to form another great read. This will drive some … Continue reading

Radical Mercy and Forgiveness
Today a friend called to tell that another friend had died and suddenly at that. The fellow who died was a very good friend and I’ll miss him a lot. He was a good friend. We’d spent quite a bit … Continue reading
