Fr. Glenn: Reflecting
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
It’s interesting to witness the paroxysms of many over Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire—the launching of the SpaceX to public trading bumping him through that heretofore unattained ceiling. Of course, it’s a tenuous title; if the stock market takes a downturn or the economy goes into one of its periodic recessions, he’ll likely lose that trillionaire mark and only be worth several hundred billion … poor thing. Of course, most of his wealth is in stock and company ownerships (companies which employ tens of thousands of people, by the way: Tesla 134,000, SpaceX (including Read More

Fr. Glenn: Can There Be Too Much?
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
It’s funny how easily we toss around extreme phrases: “I gave everything I had?!” “You have to give 110%!!” But do we? Are we truly so generous of ourselves?
On the other hand, if someone were to chastise a parent, a child or a spouse: “You give too much love!”, I think most of us would think such phrase absurd. Love for another is the one thing that should be limitless. Certainly there are better ways than others to manifest love (not enabling self-destructive behavior for one), but, like God who IS love (1 John 4:8), the greatest love is that which has no end. Infinite.
When we’re thinking Read More

By Deacon Cynthia Biddlecomb (ELCA), retired
Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the First Sunday after Pentecost. In many of our churches we change the paraments (banners, and frontispieces) from the red of Pentecost Sunday to the white used for a special Feast Day. But this annual feast day differs from others.
Trinity Sunday is about our theology, our understanding of the mystery of God. It addresses the basic doctrine of the Trinity held by the Christian Read More
