The Elements Await You

I’m sharing with you—in good faith that it might weasel it’s way toward relevance—the note that I just sent to a group of fathers and sons who my father will be guiding next week in the wilderness. I, alas, will not be with them. Not in the flesh. But I’ll be tracing their path each day, recalling …

Emma and I were sitting with Juniper at the edge of California last week, just a stride or two from the Pacific Ocean, taking in the majesty of the ocean. Witnessing the constant strength of the waves and the tides. Beholding the vast reach of the horizon. In that moment, that place was imbued with…

Willing to be a blessing

The portion of the Genesis story that led me to this reflection gives us Jacob’s deathbed blessing of his sons. Some of those blessings are harsh blessings, and others sparkle with possibility. There are a few ways that you can read such blessings: * Perhaps they are a flawed father’s assessment of…
Life is not sweetened by bitterness. Don’t you think? It’s tough to be simultaneously grudgeful and joyful, holding on to spite and resentment, while also living life with levity, joy, and ease. Still, letting go—when you’ve been wronged—is not the easiest thing to do. Last week I wrote about the …

Gender play with Joseph

Trigger warning: In this reflection there is brief mention of a sexual assault that occurs in one of the biblical narratives that I reference. Just a few weeks left in this journey of reflections on the legends and myths in the book of Genesis. In case you need to get reoriented, here’s where we’ve…
There’s a bible verse, in the book of Psalms, chapter 46 verse 10, where the poet imagines God speaking to those who God loves. In the bible that you might find in the top drawer of a hotel room somewhere in rural America, it reads: “Be still and know that I am God.” That admonition—”be still”—is t…
“And the twins clashed together within her, and she said, ‘If this is to be, then why am I here?’ And she took her question straight to God.” –Genesis 25:22 Today I want to tell you about Rebekah. And I want to show you two things that Rebekah shows us. One thing comes from a careful study of the c…

She Gave God a Name

This reflection is from a sermon I preached at Edgecomb Community Church, based on the stories about Hagar in Genesis chapters 16 & 21. First of all, read A Litany for Survival, by Audre Lorde. Read it aloud. Go do that real slow, then come on back. Now, here are my thoughts… The world is not…
Melchizedek is kind of the Tom Bombadil of the Bible. He’s a mysterious figure. He enters the scene rather abruptly, with no real introduction, and then leaves just as suddenly, with no real explanation. There’s one other possible reference to Melchizedek in the Hebrew bible, in Psalm 110. Some tra…

The Legends of Abraham

I mowed the lawn on Friday. I was trying to think of the number of lawns I’ve mowed in my day. The number of backyards and front yards that I’ve combed with my feet. The number of maple trees and oak trees and sycamore trees and cedar trees that I’ve high-fived on my way by, back and forth, back an…
