We Have a Choice

We have a choice.
We are created with free will.

Will we follow the ways of greed and selfishness or the ways of sharing and extravagant loving?
We choose to follow the One who requires us to do justice,
love kindness, walk humbly, and love our neighbors (Micah 6:8, Matt. 12:31).

Come and worship the One who binds us together.
This is the day we recommit to be and become the people imagined as the One scooped up mud and breathed life into us at our genesis.

Tim is a runner, a hiker, a devoted husband, a father of two adult children, and their spouses, and a grandfather of four perfect children. A former early childhood educator, Tim is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served as pastor of both Disciples and United Church of Christ congregations. As we enter what we hope is the final phase of the pandemic, Tim is beginning a journey of rediscovering himself and discerning next steps. He writes from his home in Albany, Oregon and wherever the Spirit lures him.
