Shalom
justice: Reflections on events in Hesston
It’s
been a crazy last couple of days. Hearing the gun shots in my
kitchen that afternoon, I shook my head at whoever that silly hunter
was out there. “Someone’s hunting too close to town,” I said to
myself. Then…the text message that Hesston College was on lockdown,
the sirens, the people running past my house. I was motionless, in
disbelief.

Join
the Cry
When
I read Psalm 63, I feel grounded in the long, arching narrative of
God’s people living in the world. The scriptures, and this psalm in
particular, have been part of the human story for thousands of
years. Long after the time of David, when this psalm was initially
written, the early church chose it as the morning reading to begin
their weekly worship.

A
tribute to Steve Cheramie Risingsun
A
gentle funny giant who loved the church with all of his heart–that
is how I will remember my friend Steve Cheramie Risingsun. Steve
died in his sleep Feb. 20, 2016. Now I know some of you who know me
may say, isn’t everyone you know a giant next to you? Steve was
about 5 feet 10 inches tall, and that’s a giant to me.
