waiting

The mare pulled the meniscus in her knee. This left my nurse with a tough choice.

An insight I gleaned from Ernest Hemingway rings true for the mainline church today.

For many of us, Advent is the most meaningful season of the church year. It’s not passive waiting; it’s living into the promised future.

Those of us in violence-plagued neighborhoods look forward to winter's reprieve. Our teenagers understand Advent waiting all too well.

Patience is not one of our stronger characteristics. A flight delay or traffic jam can become an emotional and physical crisis.

Patience is not one of my virtues, as those closest to me know. I want answers now, clarity now, unresolved issues settled now, anxiety lifted now.
