Chess is a game of strategy that has spiritual implications for us in this hour.

Reading the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ passion, crucifixion and death, this Easter season I’m struck by something different this year as I’ve read.

I’d read the story many times. It was so familiar. The cast of characters was simple: A paraplegic man, four determined friends, and Jesus.

God is working in the background!

Has this ever happened to you? You’re having a conversation with a friend on your cell phone when suddenly, the call starts breaking up.

I'm not much of a gardener. In fact, truth be told, I don't even like gardening. I feel sacrilegious even saying that, seeing that I live in the Northwest where everyone gardens.

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
