What we do is of critical importance, but it is how we go abut doing it that really matters. How we treat each other in the eyes of conflict and disagreement matters. The words we say matter. How do we decide on our "essentials" compared to everyone else? How do we respect one another while doing so? How do we include EVERYONE in Christ's love?

Sometimes conflict is necessary within our lives. It moves us forward and shows us that we are different. How do we go about having conflict while still being in relationship with each other? How can we be open to differences and listen to each other more with respect at the forefront? How do we realize that God's love is for everyone and not for just God's "chosen people?"

Why are stories more compelling than facts? Why does Jesus give parables instead of philosophies? One wonders...

Why is there hope within us? Why does Paul ask "Oh Death, where is thy sting?" On this All Saints Sunday, Rev. Erickson expounds upon why Christians do not grieve with hopelessness.

Look for the face of Jesus in every face, in every mercy, in every lost person that is found.

There are plenty of reasons that we come to church. We want our kids to be raised with a presence of God in their lives. We come here for tragedy and in time of pain. We come here to pray and long, to make sense of the senseless ness. How can we we truly worship and have healthy eyes?

How do we declare God's gifts and miracles in our lives? From the biggest things to the smallest things, how do we retrace our steps to see that God is working for us?

Christ is right in front of your nose. Healing you, healing me, showing that love will win the day.

How does the physical reality of our world effect how we see things? When our understanding of society and certain stereotypes are broken, how does that break the mold that we reside in? How do we let the voices of others influence our sight? Whose voices do we choose to let in and influence us in such ways?

The spirit of God is working, if only we can take time to see it.
