2024: A Series of Moves in the Right Direction

-
I love a New Year! New Years oozes with the hope and possibility of renewal. As I reflect on the new year that is before us I wonder how I might become a steward of hope and possibility in 2024. 

If you share this desire to become discernibly different, and to make a discernible difference in 2024, it seems we likely are collectively pondering the same questions. 

  • Who are we called to be?
  • What does that look like?
  • How do we make it happen?

I’ve found the term “The Next Right Thing” useful in overcoming the complexity and nuance answering these questions requires. Proper attention to the next right thing focuses us on what matters and helps us move in the right direction. I believe maintaining the right direction for me in will consist of an intentional set of decisions to do the next right thing. 

I wonder what the impact might be if we all stayed focused on the next right thing. I am convinced the next right thing will always be a caring and compassionate response, a response of love and kindness, a response of healing and fullness. 

May 2024 be filled with the next right things that lead our communities and lives in amazing new directions.

The Stories of the Gospel of Lent

-
Today Christians across the world are preparing for the beginning of Lent. Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Lent is a time of repentance, and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection on our relationships with God and our development as disciples.  Whether or not you celebrate the season of Lent, I have developed a series of Bible passages selected fairly chronologically from all four Gospel accounts that I will send to you daily beginning Ash Wednesday and ending Easter Morning. These brief passages begin with Mary’s anointing of Jesus in John 12 and end in the story of Easter in Matthew 28. I call this series “The Stories of the Gospel of Lent”. These stories form a scriptural journey to Easter for you that you may use in any way that is helpful to you. All you need to get started anytime is to send your email to me at:  thecenterindy@gmail.com All the passages th
