{Re}served
“Come, I’ve prepared a table just for you.” The waiter was being facetious. He had not prepared a table solely for us. We were next in line. Yet, he gave me pause. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalm…

All we are is dust in the wind. It’s true. Whether Kansas penned the words or not. Dust. To dust we’ll return. By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19 Keck’s…

As we begin Lent — I want to start here on Ash Wednesday with one of the key ideas, repentance. The word repent means: “to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life.” Yet, I would like to explore another meaning. The season of Lent gives us the opportunity to reflect…
