This reflection begins with preparing to serve as lector and unfolds into a meditation on Romans 7, why coherence is so difficult, and how God's grace through Jesus Christ restores our participation in the life we were created for.

From Dominion to Communion

This reflection explores dominion, communion, stewardship, and the tension between control and relationship — from the garden in Genesis to the living presence embodied through Christ.
