Up Close and Personal ~ with Jesus

      I was saying Evening Prayer the other night from my Magnificat prayer book as I always do and I was stunned by this scripture . . .

      Vulnerable

      This is a reprint of the issue I wrote as a reflection on 9/11.
      An excerpt: "Life has been scrambled for us in America. We have entered the refiner's fire. We have the opportunity to be cleansed and purified and strengthened so that we can find our security in God." But we did not grieve well back then. We went to war instead. And we chose to hate."

      You Never Know

      This is a reprint of the issue that arrived in the mailbox of my readers a week before 9/11. Somehow, I'm able to intuit things. The subject of that issue was "coping with uncertainty."
