On Mercy

by the Rev. Scott Walters

 

I’ve had mercy on my mind. It’s such an important word and practice for Christians and for Jews.

Tragic Grace

by the Rev. Katherine Bush

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

by the Rev. Katherine Bush

 

There is a well-known grounding practice to use when we are feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Name five things we can see, four things we can feel, three things we can hear, two things we can smell, and one thing we can taste. This exercise brings us fully and completely into the present moment,
