The Importance of Interfaith

Tomorrow at Bradley Hills our main 1030 Sunday worship service will be transformed into an interfaith worship experience with our partners in sacred space from Bethesda Jewish Congregation and Idara e Jarferia mosque. One of the most important lessons we can teach to our young people is how to understand and get along with people from other traditions. The peace of our world depends on it. When we learn about how others experience God we strengthen our understanding of the world, become more understanding of the needs of others, and strengthen our own faith because we are often are giving the opportunity to explain to others what it is that we believe. Interfaith work and worship matters.

Keys to a Long Life

On a pastoral visit yesterday with an amazing 94 year old woman who had a successful hip replacement this week, she shared with me her five secrets for living a long life. Eat well, moderate exercise, regular check ups, positive attitude and faith.

The Joys and Sorrows of Moving

I've been so under water as our family moved to Bethesda in mid October. Still living out of boxes and looking forward to being settled.

God and Halloween

Being a Christian is a lot like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff -- including the seeds of doubt, hate and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling faceand puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
