Put the load right on me.

Are we ever really independent?

The same sermon for 24 years at Saint Mark's: believe that God loves you abundantly and unconditionally, then share that love with others.

"Follow me," said Jesus, "and learn to be truly human."

How do we try to think what is right, when we already think we are?

We are one in the Spirit, and filled with the power of the Spirit, it's our work to make real that oneness with each other and all creation.

Waiting with expectation, to see where the Spirit will lead us and how the Spirit will act in our life.

Giving the Spirit room to help us figure things out.

Jesus's actions, and ours, convey far more lasting meaning than words.

How do we live a good life?

We recognize Jesus as we care, eat, share, and work together.

"How do you do that?"

Through the resurrection of Jesus, God raises us up when we've been cast down and makes new what was old.

Staying with Jesus through the hardest parts of the story

Kathy Wilder, executive director of Camp Stevens, passes on what she learned from her mother: Share compassion and love freely; we will never run out!

Finding God in the mundane and mediocre

Faith is allowing for the possibility that God is in the process with us, on the journey to whatever new place we're headed.

What if we stop trying to make Jesus who we want him to be, and allow him to be who he is?

"Listen to him!"
