May 31, 2011 by Jim Honig

A few homiletical observations on Acts 1:6-14:

Reading Romans as about Christians and not about Christians

May 27, 2011 by James F. McGrath

Craig Goodwin's year off

May 26, 2011 by Amy Frykholm

Where I live at 10,200 feet, the trees have not yet budded. May is still early, early spring in Leadville, Colorado, but all around me is a sudden burst of gardening.

May 24, 2011 by Elizabeth Myer Boulton
