Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for
whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into
the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.)

Today is the precious day we remember the agony He suffered. The pain he suffered unimaginable for most of us unless we’ve met with a serious life changing event. Even then, it had to be far worse. Your prayer is perfect for the beginning of this day. Many of us who are believers have to work today, and while jobs are a blessing these days, we should be able to reserve what I think is the holiest day in the Christian calender for how ever we want to observe it. At least we can take your prayer with us as a gift of reflection. Thank you for it.

This is perhaps the most holy day of the year for me. It’s when I’m reminded the most of just how much Papa/Jesus/Holy Spirit loves me. Thank you for your marvelous thoughts.

Today is a very sacred day where I am from (New Orleans, La.), it’s actually a holiday. I now reside in California and this day is not as sacred here as it is there, but I celebrate it within me. I know that Jesus loves us all. He went through all of that pain for us. To save us. I am humbled with just the knowledge of this. Today I and so very thankful and greatful, for it is HE, that lives in me. In the Name of Jesus we all are saved.
