Saint James, friend to pilgrims, inspires my lifelong journey with Christ.

teenagers
Tonight I pick up my daughter from the Episcopal Youth Event. Then what?
I’m an Episcopal Youth Event parent. It matters that I stop, hear my daughter’s story – and listen for what God has done in it.
I’m still learning to see my adult child with eyes of faith.
My daughter is learning to trust her sense of herself and her vocation. So am I.
Intentionally authentic: shared prayer with my girls
I started to very intentionally work prayer into our daily conversation in ways that didn’t feel forced or hokey.
My parents had honest conversations with me about teen parties. Now I want to have one with you.
I may not be a parent, but I sure am praying for you who are – especially as you have hard talks with teens.
Let’s keep working on involving teens in church life.
Adults have much to offer to teens, and teens have much to teach us. This is hard work. Let’s get started.
Teaching Our Kids to Pray for Our Enemies

Talking Scripture: You Can Go Home Again
Tonight I was blessed with a three-generation discussion about the Bible. I’m still pinching myself.
Homemade Prayer Cards: Gifts that Keep on Giving
After surgery, homemade prayer cards from my teen daughters were truly a blessing.
