This little story, goes to my everlasting shame! I am not proud of this story, but now that I look back on it, I laugh. Don’t judge me. I know that you got stuff too. I know your poop stinks as well.
Have you ever done something, albeit small or big, that was done in secret, or in darkness and you thought that you could get away with it? You know, something maybe shameful that you could tuck away and forget about it. Well, let’s just say I had a good habit of doing that, with Winona State Parking tickets! I never took them seriously. The little parking security are ever where in Winona and no matter where you park these days, they ticket you! Even outside my favority coffee joint. Well, they would charge you 10-15 dollars per ticket. They are not enforced by the police department, so I didn’t take them seriously, especially that I already have my degree. When I was in school, I wouldn’t pay them either, they actually got sent home to pops and he paid for them. (more…)

I just read this in Dorothy Day’s autobiography, “The Long Loneliness”.
‘The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community. The living together, working together, sharing together, loving God and loving our brother, and living close to him in community so we can show our love for him”
Lately I have been wondering what Christ meant when He said, “I have come so that you may have life in the fullest”. I have been asking myself how is this even possible when I see the scores of alone, disillusioned middle aged people that come in Mugby Junction for their expensive, daily lattes. I don’t know exactly what it looks like when Christ promises us a filled life, but I am beginning to realize that Community is the heartbeat of the Christian life.

Go.
He is calling.
Go.
The mind churns
The body hesitates
But my soul YEARNS to answer.
Go, my child, for I have great plans for you.
I am here. I am where you’ve called me.
Him.
I am.
He is love. (more…)
