The Gift

Our culture loves heroes. Whether it is an entertainer or a political figure, an actor or an athlete, we love to put people on pedestals.

Mennonites and Communion

‘Lord, we welcome you to table; grace our supper ever new. With your feast of love enable every guest to live for you.’ [Hymnal Worship Book, 455]

Lately, the Roman Catholic bishops in the U.S. have been in the news. They are working on drafting a statement that will exclude President Joe Biden and his wife from receiving Communion since President Biden supports abortion rights. (Not all bishops agree. The bishop in Washington, D.C. where the Bidens worship has publicly said he will not deny them Communion).

ON LOVE

‘I will never laugh at anyone for grieving over a loved beast. I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love creatures (even animals) less. We love everything in one way too much (i.e., at the expense of our love for Him), but in another way we love every- thing too little.

No person, animal, flower, or even pebble has ever been loved too much—i.e., more than every one of God’s works deserves.’

From The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III

One good book

Lands of Lost Borders – Kate Harris

One of the most scenic towns in Canada has to be Atlin, B.C. perched close to the border of the B.C. – Yukon Territory. I visited Atlin in 1981 and have always thought it might be a good place to call home, if the prairies didn’t beckon. Atlin happens to be home to Kate Harris, a Rhodes Scholar and writer who lives off-grid in a log cabin. It seems a good choice for a wanderer.
