A Letter to Mary
Dearest Mary, handmaid of the Lord, may we continue to learn from your example what it looks like to obey in love. (“Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your will”)
Holy Mary, mother of God, we are grateful that, aided by grace, you not only rejoiced in what the Father would do through you, but that you fully accepted your role—your place—not only in history, but in all eternity—as one glorious piece of the great puzzle—the fulfillment of God’s promise to His people.

My Questions about Life
When I came to Church of the Resurrection 6 years ago, I asked myself, “Where are Christians on sanctity-of-life issues?” There seemed to be a great silence. So many vital and needed ministries were at work in the church-- I saw God working in so many ways -in and through people. But eventually I became aware that Christians were often confused, even divided, over the issues surrounding abortion. Some were worn out with it all and frustrated—understandably so. What could they do—how could they make a difference in something so huge and seemingly beyond their control?

Proverbs Devotional Day 21
“But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.” (9:18)When I was 20 years old, I found a drowned man washed up on a Florida beach. I later learned he’d jumped off the Key Biscayne Bridge the day before. Though I was not religious at the time, I remember perceiving that what I was seeing was not simply physical death, but spiritual death as well. It left a deep and lasting impression on me.
