Messages from the Pastor
Listening
Wednesday May 20, 2020 My dog can hear me open the refrigerator from three rooms away, so I know that he can hear me when I yell to him from across the yard. Yet, all too often he feigns deafness. Humphrey simply does not have time for me when he is watching the squirrel in the tree, or eating something he found on the ground, or wading in the drainage stream. No matter how loud and persistent I am, he doesn’t seem to notice. . . . .
Oh, Deer!
Wednesday May 13, 2020 Living in rural Connecticut, I see a lot of deer – in our yard, in the road, in the woods, in our compost pile. Other people may see them as nuisance animals that eat our gardens and attract ticks, but I see them as beautiful and elegant animals. Even though people have taken over their territory, they manage to survive, as they have for centuries. . . . .
Show and Tell
Wednesday May 6, 2020 Working from home, I now understand why Humphrey runs to the window anytime he spots movement outside. A squirrel? Better go bark at it. Neighbors walking by? Wonder where they’re going. . . . .
To Parents
Thursday, March 19, 2020 Being a parent is difficult in the best of circumstances. With the current coronavirus crisis, it can be overwhelming! Whenever life is difficult, children need honest information, but providing it on a need-to-know basis may be best. . . . .
