Plastic Free July: Choose to Refuse
Today is the first day of summer, which means that July is just around the corner. As I consider a challenge that July will present to folks with a penchant for creation justice matters, I am also recalling that it was in May of 2019 that this Creation Justice Blog...
That’s the Spirit!
“Spirit, Spirit of gentleness, blow through the wilderness calling and free; Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness, Wind, Wind on the sea.” ~ James K. Manley This past Sunday followers of Jesus from all around the world observed Pentecost, a holy day...
“And a Little Child Will Lead Them”
“The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.” (Isaiah 11:6) At a time when God’s chosen people had been conquered and their community broken, the prophet...
Healing Spiritual Blindness & Restoring Abundant Life
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.” The prescribed Gospel reading for April 30, 2023 is the familiar ‘Good Shepherd’ text from John 10:1-10. But to grasp its full meaning, one...
The Giving Tree
Today, the last Friday of April, is recognized across America as Arbor Day. It’s a tradition that began way back in 1872 in the plains of Nebraska to honor the place that trees play in making the world a habitable home for all creatures great and small. It is entirely...

Where’s the BEEF?
During the ‘hamburger wars’ of the mid 1980’s, Wendy’s panned its competitors’ puny burgers with what would become an iconic slogan, “Where’s the beef?” Dave Thomas claimed his ‘Old Fashioned Hamburgers’ had more beef than McDonald’s or Burger King. Now four decades...
‘Big Ag’: Feeding the Climate Crisis while Starving the Future
Today is Febuary 2, ‘Groundhog Day.’ But after 22 years on the job, our local groundhog prognosticator, ‘Sir Walter Wally,’ is nowhere to be seen. He has decided to pack it in and retire. Impeccable timing, I’d say. It’s a miserable day, cold and rainy. I wouldn’t...
In Pursuit of ‘Common Sense’
For retired folks such as me, most days feel like Saturday. This is both a blessing and a curse. On the latter end it means that the morning ritual often begins with the quest to find out what day it actually is. As I peered at my Nature Conservancy wall calendar this...
COP 15 Scores a Goal for Biodiversity
For nearly a month people across the world had been hitting life’s pause button and turning their gaze to elite athletes kicking and head-butting inflatable round balls into netted goals in Lusail, Qatar. Then this past Sunday in epic fashion, the 2022 FIFA World Cup...
