The Shattered Gate

The Shattered Gate

I cannot pretend to know what this past week has been like for students, faculty, staff, families and all those connected to a school only a mile away from us here. I cannot pretend to know what it’s like to navigate shock and horror and disbelief and why and how and what if and so much more than cannot be put into words or any logic at all. I cannot pretend to know what it’s like for a phone call or a text message to send the heart racing at a pace that you didn’t know was possible. I cannot pretend to know what it’s like to be grateful that more life was not ripped away and still be thoroughly distraught over the one who was, and somehow be expected to return to any sense of normalcy when every timeframe of grief and sadness needs to be respected and honored, all the while the rest of the world insists on moving forward with earthly business as usual....

Wednesday Wanderings

Read the latest from Pastor Brad's blog, Wednesday Wanderings.
A little journey through this topsy-turvy journey of joys and sorrows and hopes and dreams with plenty of grace from God along the way.

Today so happens to be the 15 th anniversary of Prince William and Princess Kate, whose wedding may not have received quite the social media fanfare and near-obsession as Harry and Meghan, but hundreds of millions still viewed the 2011 ceremony over the various technological means around the world. One of the most eye-grabbing parts of Westminster Abbey that day was not just the attire of the bride and groom, or the various internationally recognized guests, but the eight 20-foot trees that seemed to dramatically pop on the screen. It was nearly an absolute shock that the supposed most die-hard stick-to-the-script traditionalist monarchs of Britain would allow a near forest to overtake the most cherished sanctuary space for all of England, and yet, it was rather serene and beautiful and inspiring all at once.

Divinity Warmline

The Warmline is a recorded daily message to help us cope with life. We don’t always need a “hotline” geared for crisis and traumatic moments. But we all need a "warmline” somewhere to help us get in touch with ourselves, the church, and God. Goethe said, “One should, each day, try to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it is possible, speak a few reasonable words.” The Warmline helps us do just that! Each day’s offering includes an opening greeting, a devotional, poem, or scripture reading, Divinity prayer concerns, Divinity birthdays and anniversaries, and a closing prayer.
