Today, I sat to write a poem for my weekly post. It is not happening. My brain is tired. I have run out of words to edify, describe, inspire.
For the past two months, I have been preparing for two sermons that I will be offering at Common Ground Community UMC , our local worship community. Tomorrow, Sumday the 18th, at 9:30 Central Time is the first. The two part series is on suffering, transformation, and compassion. The seocnd part is Sunday the 25th.
If you are interested, I will post a link to their archives and you can pick it up later. This post may be arriving too late for the livestream but it is here.

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.”
“Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.”
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

Good for you, Jan! Glad you are sharing your wisdom in this way. Blessings, Chris
Thanks, Chris. I thought about Cabrini while prepping with gratitude for all the learning and support. This is the first since 2006 and the ministers are on vacation and asked if I would cover them for a couple of the Sundays. An honor and privilege to do so.
