Monday, March 15, 2010. Preached March 14th,2010 at St David of Wales. Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32. Jesus, you are the older brother who rejoices with your father at each of our returns, let us feast with you as we welcome every lost son home. Jennifer looked hard at us and asked “How many times do I ask my children to forgive me? How does a mother do this to her children? How can I ever go home again? The psalmist tells us:. 8220;Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, *. And whose sin is put away!

Thursday, March 10, 2011. Preached at Saint David of Wales March 9, 2011. You are dust and to dust you shall return. That is the good news we all came to church today to hear. With last nights pancakes sitting still heavy in our guts, we came here today to remember that we are dust. But the only way to get to that life is to go to the foot of the cross, where we will show the world what we are really made of-. Without the breath of God we are only dust. This life is like a giant monopoly game and no matt...
