There are times when I lose my faith in humanity and then something happens that restores it. Lately, most of my grace-filled moments come from my experience with “Buy Nothing FaceBook.” My husband and I are cleaning out our house. We have so much stuff that we no longer need but is still in goodContinue reading “Buy Nothing FaceBook”

Ghost Bikes
Deaveon Davis rode his bike to work almost every day. He was biking to his girlfriend’s house to get his car keys one early morning in March and he was struck and killed by an SUV at the corner of Linden Ave and Glen Road in Brighton. His friends and family were devastated. The cyclingContinue reading “Ghost Bikes”
Nothing Will Happen Unless…
Nothing will happen unless we do something. I couldn’t sleep after the mass shooting in Buffalo or Texas.

We are a nation with too much stuff. No matter how large the home, closets, and cupboards are bulging. Mine included. ThisContinue reading “Too much stuff”
Bobo Used To Rob Banks
This is a picture of Bobo at his 70th birthday party. I took him to Wegmans a few days after he had gotten out of prison. He had to sit down after he walked through the chip aisle. “There are so many different kinds it makes my head spin,” he said. He was stuck inContinue reading “Bobo Used To Rob Banks”
The Unwanted Visitor
Nothing can prepare us for the experience of loss and grief. We may think we know how we are going to react but we don’t and it is different for everyone. Grief is the unwanted visitor that hangs around outside listening to the unthinkable news being delivered. It may wait a few minutes but thenContinue reading “The Unwanted Visitor”
The Season of Easter
Easter is not just a day, it’s a season in the Church year and it lasts for fifty days. It’s a great time to think about how to live as people of the resurrection in the world today. Every Monday I will be posting a meditation about living in the Easter Season. Thank you forContinue reading “The Season of Easter”
