The Japanese have a tradition of choosing a 'kanji' (Japanese character) at the end of the year. This kanji is chosen to define or represent the year. During our time together we will reflect over 2020 and define it with lines and patterns. Meditative Art - Dec 29th 2020 22:30 IST (12pm EST) - 24:00Continue reading "Year-end Meditative Art"
Belonging in the Covenant Community
Since November 2025, I have been thinking deeply about what it means to belong. We belong to families, churches, nations, and communities. Such belonging shapes our identity, our obligations, and our understanding of ourselves. When that belonging is fractured—especially by those entrusted with authority—the loss is more than social. It is a disruption of one'sContinue reading "Belonging in the Covenant Community"
Submerged Roots, Living Waters: A Scriptural Ecology of Life
Today I am thinking about rootedness. Jeremiah 17 speaks of rootedness on land beside the river, and Ezekiel 47 speaks of trees with leaves for healing: a biblical vision of rootedness in which trees participate in God’s sustaining and healing ecology.

Jehovah Jireh, my provider
WIP: Ram in the thicket The imprecatory Psalms have been very real to me for the past few weeks. Abraham is one of my favorite characters from the Bible because God called him "friend" (Isaiah 41:8 and James 2:23). I also really loved how Abraham pleaded for the life of Sodom and Gomorrah in GenContinue reading "Jehovah Jireh, my provider"
