Alyce McKenzie: Boot Against the Wall
The Rev. Dr. Alyce McKenzie (UMC)
There is certainly plenty of turbulence to be experienced in the course of daily life. If you live in my part of the world, tornados are an early summer threat. Wherever you live, school shootings and terrorist acts have eroded our sense of safety and, maybe even our trust in one another. There’s plenty of reason to stomp your boot against the nearest wall. But that doesn’t help much.Latest Day1 TV

Companionship
The Rev. John Gunn (other)
On the topic of marriage, The Rev. Gunn writes, "A true wife delights more in her husband's companionship than in any success he may achieve. The apostle Peter offers excellent counsel to husbands; he says, 'Likewise ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife as being heirs together of the grace of life.' The husband who accepts this counsel has a happy wife and a happy home."

Bruce Reyes-Chow: Teaching Our Children to Be Joyfully Mediocre
The Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow (PCUSA)
While I believe that we are called to tend the passions, talents and skills that reside within each of us, that does not always equate to being the best and most talented at them all. Sometimes tending our passions means allowing ourselves be, in the eyes of the world, mediocre.

ON Scripture-The Bible: From Suffering to Hope: Romans 5:1-5 By Henry G. Brinton
ON Scripture
Memorial Day is a time to remember suffering, but not to see it as an end in itself. Instead, pain is the beginning of a process that produces endurance, character, and ultimately hope.

Steve McSwain: The Madness That Must End Among Christians
Dr. Steve McSwain
My propensity to question has led me to the conclusion: Christian fundamentalism doesn't work anymore. Not only in its more extreme forms, as in Islamic fundamentalism. We all know that does not work. Nor can it be tolerated. But fundamentalism does not work in its tamer versions either.

Steeples
The Rev. Dr. Tripp Martin (CBF)
We are grateful for the steeples of churches because they remind us of the presence of God, but we must also remember that we find God elsewhere. We find God out there as we leave the doors of the church as well.
