Gratitude for Blessings in Disguise?

It’s impossible on the basis of any given experience to accurately assess the true consequence to our lives.

Unless we appreciate the full context of any situation, we can’t know what the result will ultimately be.
Just think of “Good” Friday and Easter Sunday.

“Home for the Holidays”

For many of my years, “Home for the Holidays” was in the back of most people’s minds come Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In this Vincentian Mindwalk I reflect on a practice that seems to be non-existent. Going to God’s House to give thanks on Thanksgiving.

RINOs, DINOs and the Duck Test

“If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” Sometimes it is referred to as “the duck test”.Jesus had his own way of saying it. “By their fruits, you will know them”. As I was thinking about the feast of Christ the King, I wondered how the “duck test” might apply to followers of Christ the King.

The “Public Relations” Plan of the Early Church

Jesus did not found the church as an institution with a slick “Public Relations” plan. He started a movement that developed into the community we know as the early church.
In this Vincentian Mindwalk I explore how this came to be.

How Does House-lessness Differ From Home-lessness?

Peter Day believes we tends to address “houselessness” (physical needs), rather than homelessness (relational/spiritual/emotional needs).” I knew I needed to explore the distinction between houselessness and homelessness. Here I present these excerpts to see if they resonate with you as well.

Learning From Luke This Past Year

Luke found himself in the midst of a major culture clash. In this Vincentian Mindwalk I would like to share with you the Luke I thought I knew. The Luke I have discovered And what it has meant for me.

Changing Our Clocks, Do-overs, and Fast-forwards

Changing Clocks! It is an annual ritual in many parts of the world. What happens to those hours lost and hours gained? In this Vincentian Mindwalk I will explore this annual ritual as something of a metaphor for our lives.

What Jesus Saw In the Temple

Jesus is doing what he always does in the gospels.
What catches his eye and draws his heart are those in most need: those who need forgiveness.
Jesus sees the widow.
