Six Word Story
Everyone deserves prayer, no matter what.
Trinity Sunday in The Christian Faith Tradition
I believe the Holy Trinity is about God being expressed in three different forms both spiritual, physical and perhaps in creation. This is a tough topic for clergy folks to talk about but alas its still there. Father, Son, Holy Spirit can speak to us in different ways. Three in one is a mystery but that helps us use our minds as well as our hearts when encountering the creator of the universe. To my fellow Anglicans/Episcopalians and other Christians around the world may Trinity Sunday speak to you in a profound way.
To those who aren’t believers may you find comfort in your own way. May your traditions keep you connected to the spirits of people you love.
All Creatures Great And Small
We had a special Sunday at church featuring a church wide meal, bouncy house for kids and a petting zoo. These petting zoos bring animals to the community you don’t encounter daily. These animals were cool except for a couple of goats who were all about the drama. God’s creation is not without a sense of humor and whimsy, these critters prove that.

Be The Future
We need to knock down the thing that is telling the world that it’s ending. There is more life to live. More dreams to dream. A whole new world awaits because you chose to be a part of it. There is also lots of love to give. Be the future you want to see. Go with your creator.

Snickerdoodles
We are taking these for a church event tomorrow and they are really good cookies.
Snickerdoodles are one of my all-time favorite cookies. The buttery middle and the crisp cinnamon sugar crust combine to create complete cookie nirvana. But surprisingly, I never attempted to make them myself until today! I’m happy to say I was successful on the first try.
