This commemoration is especially important in this era as it celebrates two people who argued, who disagreed, who had serious and deep differences -- but who engaged with one another, respected one another, and lived in loving service to the Lord. May we all meditate upon their example.

Doubting God can silence us. Trust in God and allow God to speak through you!

We are thankful for our friends, for those who make us feel connected, loved, understood. Saint Barnabas brought Paul to the early Christians, and in his public display of trust he allowed those formerly persecuted to accept Paul and move the church forward.

We are thankful for our friends, for those who make us feel connected, loved, understood.

Today we consider the incomprehensible -- including that we were made for the sheer joy of it.

The Holy Spirit allows us to become so much more than we were before. This Holy Breath sends us out to tell the story in many languages, even non-verbally, with capabilities we didn't realize we have.

Celebrate the beginning of new life!

Mark helped to show us how to do God's will together even when we disagree.
