Readings to Return To
Some writings remain close long after they were first shared.
These are a few reflections that continue to return—writings about presence, interruption, accompaniment, aging, prayer, and the small things that quietly shape a life.
The collection changes slowly.
A Ministry of Small Things
“Be happy. Keep your faith and belief. Remember the little things you have heard and seen me do, and do them.”
A Small Baptism
It was the last leg of my trip, and I was ready to get home. Something happened as I was getting off the plane.
Opening the Box
My wife stopped me as I walked past her chair. She had a box open in front of her and couldn’t wait to show me what she had found.
Learning to Return
There are days now when companionship feels more healing than certainty.
Enough for Now
My wife said, “I don’t want you to do too much.”
I told myself, I’ll stay and finish.
