Poetry as a Spiritual Practice
Each week on Wednesday I post a poem inspired by one of the four scripture lessons in the upcoming Sunday service. The lessons are from the Old Testament, Psalms, Epistles, or Gospel. With the exception of 2022, I have been doing this since December 2018. That is my practice.
Bud and Mary
In 2022, I completed a book of poems about my parents and the life my three sisters and I shared with them. Click the Bud and Mary tab at the top of the page.
