'Who believes in me will never die'
In today's first reading, God tells the Israelites through the prophet Ezekiel, "O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel."

Embrace God's presence, always
I recently heard a speaker say that telling someone to find God is like telling a fish to find water. A fish lives in water - it is the fabric of its existence.

The possible and the impossible
We are called to do the impossible--to follow Jesus.

Take the time to listen
Sometimes, it seems to me, we overcomplicate faith. This makes sense, I suppose, since we tend to overcomplicate just about everything.

The promise of Lenten spirituality
I'm the kind of person that isn't tempted by dessert. At home or at a restaurant, someone can offer me a dish of delicious ice cream or something with a lushly exotic name like "Chocolate Decadence," and I am unmoved. It just doesn't appeal to me.

Planted in love
The Baobab tree, found in Madagascar, mainland Africa and Australia, can store up to 32,000 gallons of water in its trunk. By collecting water in wet seasons, the tree is able to withstand the harsh drought conditions that frequently exist in each region.
