Jacob wrestling at the Jabbok and Israel being carried through the wilderness, as told in Genesis and Deuteronomy, show that God brings us through every stage of the journey. Vicky Alderman's song The Other Side of My Journey celebrates arriving at a brighter day, at peace and at rest.

Leddy looks at the masks we wear and the peace that comes from living as our true selves. Drawing on biblical stories from Genesis and Esther and The Serenity Scream by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel and Melinda Wood-Allen, she invites us to get centered, listen within, and meet life with a calmer spirit.

Leddy explores how an open heart can make our home a place of kindness, where strangers are welcome and no one has to face hunger or loneliness alone. Drawing on Abraham's hospitality and Daniel Nahmod's "As Best I Can," she invites us to see one another as neighbors and children of one God, and to do the best we can.

This Sunday, Leddy looks at how to live without knowing every step ahead – we can be present because our lives are in good hands. Drawing on Jeremiah's promise of a hopeful future and Daniel Nahmod's "I Don't Need to Know," she invites us to let go and trust that God knows the way.

This Sunday, Leddy looks at change as both constant and participatory – when everything changes, we can change too. Drawing on Ecclesiastes' seasons, she invites us to meet each new stage with adaptability and trust.

From lyrics to "Like a Boomerang" by Robert Anderson:

Every little thing that you say and do, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. All the love you give, if you want it to, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you.

Every time you fight against something new, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. Every single thought that you hold as true, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you.

After you were born, you forgot what is true, but like a boomerang, it will come back to you. You may not recall what you came here to do, but like a boomerang, it will come back to you.

All that you desire, when you ask it to, just like a boomerang, it will come back to you. It may seem like fortune sailing out of the blue, but like a boomerang, it has come back to you.

Inspired by lyrics to "It Works when I Work It" by Sue K. Riley & Fred Bogert:

"It works, when I work it! My good comes pouring through.

It works, when I work it – these principles of Truth.

… I know that I am ready to receive …. If I trust my heart to lead, then love comes pouring through ….

My good will know my face. I'm making room for miracles and saving room for grace."

Inspired by lyrics to "What Must Be Done" by Greg Greenway::

I learned as a child there were two ways to see: the world as it is and the way it should be. Some people say 'that's just not my problem.' Some people do what must be done.

I've seen the toll taken, the tears that were shed. I've seen the journey started and the ripples spread. Some people say that's just not my problem. Some people do what must be done.

Sometimes the darkness is all we can see. We can't envision what the future will be. But, in our hearts is that which can guide us, so we can do what must be done.

We see the hole in the fabric that must be sewn. We see the way blockaded and we roll back the stone. We see the day beyond the horizon and we do what must be done.
