Keeping Grace
As the introduction to a sermon yesterday I read from Gerard Manley Hopkin’s As Kingfishers Catch Fire. As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies dráw fláme; As tumbled over rim in roundy wells Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each … Continue reading
An Ode to the Op Shop
The Op Shop is shorthand for The Opportunity Shop, a ministry of the church that I serve. The Op Shop is located in the basement and is a place that sells the leftovers of people’s living – what remains when … Continue reading
