I have learned a lot from bricklayers about the meaning of work! And continue to learn … even about being a follower of Christ.

A place that helps you feel a sense of comfort, identity, inspiration… whatever you need at that moment!  A place where you are nourished and grow.

Over 50 years ago, a university student showed me a card. “If being a Christian were a capital offense, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”

Many may remember a movie in 2000 called “Pay It Forward.” The lead line in the movie was, “When someone does you a good deed, don’t pay it back; pay it forward.”

Today I ask are there any roads I didn’t take… or maybe not followed far enough?

How often have you heard … “But in the real world…?”  “That’s fine in theory… but in the real world…?”

Let’s ask that question about God’s love for us. I ask the question because it tells a lot about the vow God has made to us

Suppose I had been present when Jesus finally arrived at Jerusalem. He was riding on a donkey to the cheers of a crowd? What would I have been thinking?

In washing the feet of his disciples, he was leaving no room for misunderstanding the meaning of “Love one another!”

In this Vincentian Mind walk, I share a growing realization that the struggle we face as church today existed even among those Jesus himself chose.
