The Journey Continues
Today Facebook reminded me of something I posted 12 years ago - Sometimes, even after almost seven months, my heart still has a hard time coming to terms with the reality of Veronica's death. This morning I was thinking about one of the countless wonderful...
Finding God In The Common Places (a sermon)
Finding God In The Common Places Luke 24: 13-32 Roger Lynn September 25, 2022 One of the most remarkable things about the Christian faith is how ordinary it is. I suspect that if we were honest with ourselves, what we would really like, at least some of the time,...
Seeing the World in a New Way
How I see the world is changing. I find myself looking to what is sometimes hiding just beneath the surface. And often what I see is light. Partly this can attributed to my camera. As I continue learning how to compose a photograph I start noticing details I might...
It’s All So Very, Very Vast
There are approximately 400 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, which is about 120,000 light years across. I don’t really have the capacity to wrap my head around those kind of numbers. I just have a sense that it’s really (REALLY) big. In the face of that sort...

God’s Radical Wholeness (a sermon)
God’s Radical Wholeness Mark 2: 13-22 Roger Lynn September 11, 2022 God has always been the same. But we human beings have not always been very good at figuring out who God is, and how best to relate with God and with each other. And so it is that down through the...
The Floodgates Have Opened
The floodgates have apparently opened, and it’s beginning to feel like there’s no going back. At least I hope not. I’ve been posting for a while now about the experience I’ve been having lately with the Universe working overtime to get my attention and persuade me...
“I’ve got you!”
Yesterday morning I was reflecting on what prevents me from “letting go and letting God.” What came clear (not really news to me) is that there is a deep, old, and often unconscious tendency in me to believe that I am responsible for everything and I have to do it...
