March 7, 2010 (MP3) - Sacrifice - Is it Worth It? Read sermon (pdf)
"In other words, whatever we make hallow or sacred, we will make sacrifice for. If we revere money, we will give our life-energy for it. If we revere power and influence, we will give our life-energy for it. A great question to ask yourself is what do you hallow in your life –what are you giving your life-energy for."
Feb 28, 2010 (pdf) - Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
"...And yet what is so remarkable is that there is a positive side to suffering and for me that is where God (the divine) is to be embraced – not so much in the causes of this world’s ills – but rather in what can come from those experiences—which is really what the Jesus story of suffering is all about."

"The spiritual hunger that exists in our world today is very great indeed- we may ask-- How can we afford to feed that hunger when people aren't coming to the table the way they used to?
