Compost for the Garden.
We post about things like reading the Bible with an expansive lens, learning to listen to multiple perspectives, and hearing old stories in fresh ways. We hope it helps your faith reconstruct into a beautiful garden. Not every post will be for everybody, and that’s okay too. You get decide if it’s fertilizer or if it’s just sh**. Then stay tuned for the next one.

Shifting How We Gather This Week
We have had to shift many things in the last three weeks. Work commutes, school classrooms, trips to the store, and social gatherings that were normal parts of our lives have had to be recreated in new forms.
It is exhausting.
This week, yet more modifications are coming for many of us, this time in our religious lives.
Bitter is the first taste of freedom
I didn’t know how much I liked horseradish until my first seder meal.
I eat it on the matzah. I eat it with the charoset. I eat it with the lamb. I can’t get enough.
Walking Through the Midbar
I am no stranger to the wilderness. 23 years ago I was suddenly and tragically thrust into the wilderness when my father died unexpectedly. In one moment my world, my idea of God, and my faith were shattered.
I was suddenly faced with the reality that the worst can happen even when you have “done everything right.”
