829 Mothers Day - Not Enough
A prevailing narrative of our time is "You are enough." Which, on the surface, feels right. A response to the comparison trap that always leaves us wanting. "Not pretty enough..." "Not wealthy enough..." "Not educated enough..." Always just beyond our reach. But what if this "You can do it on your own" business is just as burdensome because we know we each come up short at the end of the day? That's the good news of the Gospel of Jesus. We cannot do it on our own... and we don't have to.

828 Letter to the Exiles - Meanwhile
"There was one time every Sunday where you take off your hat, and you sit under one roof with a group of people, and you say, ‘We're in this together, aren't we?’" Ethan Hawke
Community matters. We were designed for life together with others, especially in exile. We see this in Daniel 1 and 2. This is the living out of Jeremiah's letter to exiles. -
827 Letter to the Exiles - Softened or Hardened
Exile is our reality. Do we allow God to shape us, or are we getting bitter?
Psalm 137 is a difficult example of a people being hardened in exile. -
826 - Letter to the Exiles - Jeremiah 29 more than verse 11
Too often, we read the words of Jeremiah 29:11 out of the context of the exile. There is promise in these words, but not away from the work of exile. Followers of Jesus must be careful to avoid edits even when they are "small and carefully considered.”
Promise without difficulty leads to entitlement. -
