  In Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9, we learn about God’s qualities directly from God. God tells Moses that God is “a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, 7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin….” We, too, [...]

Good Shepherd Leadership

2026-04-26T23:27:26+00:00April 26, 2026|

The gospel reading for today is John 10:1-10, in which Jesus refers to himself as a shepherd and a gate for sheep. Another reference about being a shepherd is found in Luke 15:4-7, and Jesus’ ministry gives many accounts of his actions as a leader. This [...]

What if?

Forgiven, again.

2026-03-29T05:12:57+00:00March 29, 2026|

Poor Peter – he just seems to get himself into it, doesn’t he? Consider his record. He trusted Jesus and walked on water – then became frightened, looked away, and started to sink.  Later, he proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah, and not long after saying [...]

Death, Life, Death

2026-03-23T03:44:21+00:00March 23, 2026|

Sometimes hospital chaplains have the task and honor of talking with people about advanced directives (aka end-of-life planning).
