Navigating God's world without human limitations. About Us and Me. Down But Not Out (July 17, 2016). July 24, 2016. I say it has almost been too much. But it has not. I may be down, but I am not out. God is with me. Christ sustains me. I can do this! I recently watched a film about Mother Teresa called The Letters. In it I learned that Mother Teresa suffered from what she called emptiness; she didn’t feel the presence of God within her, she felt totally alone. Waiting Through the Pain (December 25, 2016).

I couldn’t help this person understand that many Hispanic congregations are quite small, especially at the beginning, and don’t follow the formal structure of our Anglo worship services. Oftentimes there is no music but the clapping of hands, or a single guitar. The answer was still no, I couldn’t use the church. Jesus certainly sowed seeds in many unexpected places – a Samaritan woman, Z...

It said, in part, ’s son took his own life last Saturday. had a bad accident a few years ago and was paralyzed and wheelchair dependent. His anguish is over. . . All I could think of was loss:. Loss of someone’s precious son. Loss of the opportunity to minister to this man. Why are we wheelchair dependent and not liberated by our wheelchairs? You need ...

Navigating God's world without human limitations. About Us and Me. It’s Our Tradition (May 8, 2016). May 13, 2016. Some twenty years ago I was blessed to accompany my husband to Baltimore on a business trip. While he was in meetings, I wandered the city. Baltimore is a wonderful place for Methodists to explore.

Have we ever had that talk with them?
