Today, just wanted to share a favorite prayer/poem with you. My aunt sent me a copy of it via email – not even knowing that it is one of my favorites, and was a favorite of my father’s. As I told her, “I never tire of reading it.” I thanked her for sharing it…and decided … Continue reading
One of the cherished blessings of this ongoing journey with My 52 Weeks of Worship Project is the ability I have had to share my story with audiences of varying sizes and in various places.

If anything else comes up in life that is challenging, you can draw from those lessons. For the past day and a half, I have been meditating on a lesson that … Continue reading
I found this article and it made me laugh. My global, spiritual, interfaith journey took 52 weeks, 1 week at a time (well, truly, it continues to this day, but that was what kicked off the project). Little did I know that I could have condensed my experience into one night of speed-faithing. Googling it … Continue reading
I visited Urban Village for the first time during Week 22 of My First 52 Weeks; this morning, when I looked outside and saw the beautiful, crisp, fall Chicago day, I decided that taking a stroll down the street to visit my Urban Village church home would be how I would spend my worship time … Continue reading
