RCL Reflection, Second Sunday of Easter, Year A, April 19, 2020
The message of hope we have to bring is do not be discouraged, realize that even those who walked, talked, and studied with Jesus were temporarily “stuck” in an in-between time and place. We know they didn’t stay there, and neither will we.

Revised Common Lectionary for the Third Sunday of Easter, Year A, April 30, 2017
Just like on that Emmaus Road, Jesus is still showing up and bringing people moments of poignant clarity that can be fully expressed and shared only in the telling and recounting. It happens in many ways both great and small, ordinary and miraculous, but no matter how, when, or where, rest assured that your witness to how you have encountered Jesus is enough and needs to be shared.

Beyond Unbelief: An Evangelism Lesson from Thomas
RCL reflection, 2nd Sunday of Easter, Year A, April 23, 2017
Like Jesus inviting Thomas to reach out and touch his wounds, we must be willing to invite people into our lives. What they know of Jesus may be only what they see in those who call themselves “Christians.” That means we have both great opportunity and great responsibility, and that my friends is an act of stewardship.
