Encountering God
History is often written about and around great personages and great events. It would be interesting to re-read history from the perspective of the ‘small people’ in a story or event: a great battle from the POV of a foot … Continue reading

I have always been a Star Wars fan. Not a fan-atic one though. A lot has been said, written and posted about the latest episode, “The Last Jedi”. Real fans called it the best Star Wars film so far. Critics … Continue reading
Nature And The Gospels
Nature also teaches us spiritual truths if we just are open to her wisdom. We are hiking and we chance upon this cluster of berries among the trees, along the trail. And by just looking, I realize that life will … Continue reading
