Dear Friends, We live in a culture that increasingly separates people by age groups. Children (and adults) play sports with others in their own age group. Senior housing, while offering many benefits, can isolate older adults from other groups. As our society becomes more mobile, many grandparents find themselves far away from their grandchildren. We […]

Even more, I was looking forward to catching up with my brunch companion, Jenny Baylor. I knew she had made a recent job change to […]
Called
Isaiah 6:1-8; Luke 5:1-11 The picture was unambiguous–God seated on a high and lofty throne. Isaiah knew exactly what he was seeing.
