sermons and notes posted on this blog are not necessarily what came out of my mouth during the services,
but they'll offer a sense my dance with the Holy Spirit while preparing to preach

fight, flight, or 'right'

Fight (annihilation) or flight (avoidance)... or ‘right’ (reconciliation and restoration)?  

Oh God, help me again and again with this third way, especially amid conflict.  

Help me surrender self-preservation and self-promotion.  

Motivate me toward protection of others and loving promulgation of your whole (in which we’re all neighbors, enemy, stranger, and fellow alike).  

[inspired by bible verses for Epiphany 7 A]
