Saturday, March 23, 2013. Jeremiah 31, Saturday Lent Five, the Reading, Morning Prayer, the Daily Office Book, Year One. Such is the great grace and wisdom given to us by God’s compassion: that we can come through our travails; we can be made new, should we but make our hearts available to God’s loving promise, a new covenant written in love and forgiveness.

The Restoration Cafe: August 2014

http://therestorationcafe.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 14, 2014. Meditations After Robin Williams' Death. Robin Williams' death has brought many hard realities to surface. A very wise social worker once said to me that the line between "can't" and "won't" is indiscernible with some people when it comes to healthy behavior or reasoning.

The Restoration Cafe: Through Your Sacred Wounds, a Lenten pilgrimage to the Prodigal Feast

http://therestorationcafe.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-your-sacred-wounds-lenten.html

Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Through Your Sacred Wounds, a Lenten pilgrimage to the Prodigal Feast. Tardree Forrest, Northern Ireland. This Lent I invite you to give up something different than in years past. I invite you to give up sin for Lent, or rather give up everything you think you know about sin. This Lent I ask you give up all your preconceived notions about what sin is, how it works, what its causes and consequences are. How about healthy communities, or religions, or countries for that matter?
