The Didache 11 – Flee From Every Evil Thing
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. My child, flee from every evil thing, and from every likeness of it. Be not prone to anger, for anger leads to murder. Be neither jealous, nor quarrelsome, nor of hot temper, for out of all these murders are engendered. My [...]

The Didache 10 – The Second Commandment
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately.

Not the Fast I’ve Chosen – Part 9
I closed my train of thought in my last post with the idea that, though God has not given me celiac disease for any reason whatsoever, he has been quietly at work preparing me and giving me the tools, should I care to employ them, to stand and perhaps even grow in the face of [...]

Not the Fast I’ve Chosen – Part 2
Before I continue in the direction I pointed at the end of my first post in this series, I want to spend a little more time on the intertwined, interlocking, and interpenetrating nature of our body, mind, and spirit.
