Hello from Plano, Texas! I’m here this week for the annual synod of the Diocese of the Holy Spirit (which is the diocese in which I am “canonically resident”) and then for the Anglican1000 Summit, a meeting of church planters from all across the country. In addition to eating some fantastic Texas chili, I’m having […]
Community, Life Together, Retreats 0
Quiet. Rest. Reflection. Retreat. The words are like music to me; my heart longs for these things, yet I find myself filling my days with activities that seem the very opposite of what I’m longing for. It can be so hard to break out of regular patterns to make space for the things I most […]

Happy New Year! It was great to see so many of you back at church yesterday after the holidays – even a grey and drizzly morning couldn’t dampen the sense of joy. So good to see people reconnect, share holiday tales, and worship our great and very good God. Some of my favorite moments… “I […]
The Lord has come! This morning I am sitting under my tree– enjoying the lights and the last few minutes of calm before the kids wake up. My first Christmas gift: a little peace. I am overwhelmed by the idea that God, (GOD!!) took on humanity. That He walked around. God (!) wanted to have […]
We can’t wait to see you on Christmas Eve!! Wondering what to expect? Here is a Christmas list… Candles. Lots of candles. On the Advent wreath. In people’s hands. Lots and lots of candles. Carols. We are singing like 36 of ’em. Ok, more like 11. If you’ve been longing for carols while we wait […]
