Fr. Glenn: Point By Point
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, it’s Lent again already. Ash Wednesday is March 5 for most Christians, and as we move toward the remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus in about seven weeks, Lent is our “time in the desert” to reflect on what we have done well … or not … in our lives, correcting lapses and seeking to conform ourselves ever more in the image of Jesus.
But distractions have always plagued us. This may be a reason Jesus apparently covered a lot of points in a relatively short time in His talks—making the most of the time He had with audiences. As any preacher knows, dwelling too long on a particular Read More

Fr. Glenn: Relinquishing Control
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
One of the things we hate in our lives is loss of control of what happens—to ourselves and within our sphere of influence. When things slip from that control, a sort of desperation stemming from uncertainty can take hold. And then we can be tempted to take shortcuts from what is ethical and right just so that we can regain that control. Not sure if you’ll get the promotion? Well … a little stab in the back of your competition—truthful or not—could be tempting. A little slander here, a little false evidence planted there … who’s to know? After all, I need that promotion more than they Read More

Where is the evidence of goodness in which I can engage in hope? This is a question I ask myself often these days. I limit myself to 30 minutes in the mornings in which I dedicate to reading and then praying “the news”. This practice is helpful to me so that I stay informed, but I do not dwell and perseverate too long on “bad news” that could easily lead to an overwhelming and even Read More

What would you say to saving our schools money, reducing students and school staff exposure to a known cause of chronic health conditions, increasing community air quality, and lowering carbon emissions?
You might think such wide-ranging benefits require many different policies, but they are all achievable by simply converting our school buses to electric vehicles. And we have the opportunity to make that easier for our schools this legislative session!
House Bill 32, “Electric or Alternative Fuel School Buses”, makes electric school buses available and affordable Read More

Fr. Glenn: As Trees By The River
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Oh, do we not love to focus on the positive of things? We love immediate gratification; after all, planning ahead and/or looking at inevitable consequences is sooooo not fun. And even Jesus said a kind of version of the same thing, didn’t He?! “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.” (Matthew 6:34) Carpe diem!!
That’s the danger of taking scripture piecemeal—like Satan did in his tempting of Jesus, by the way—rather than looking at it as a whole. For just before the verse above, Read More

Recently, I met with a couple planning to be married in the Spring. For their ceremony, they requested the most requested wedding scripture of all time: a passage from St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. It reads:
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable Read More
