Why does Thomas get such a bad rap in scripture? So he wasn't in the room when Jesus walked THROUGH THE DOOR, maybe he was the only disciple not cowering in the corner; maybe he was out getting pizza for his timid friends, maybe... So he's skeptical about his friend’s encounter with his saviour. Wouldn’t you be skeptical? I like Thomas, he's my kind of guy, fortunately Jesus takes him seriously, so I guess there is room for me to doubt, room to ask, room to touch, room to believe

If you call my cell in the evening or on the weekend that noise in the background is probably the sound of pool, a gym or the U of M field house. I love being with and supporting my kids at in the sports they are involved in. You may call at some other time and here the noise of a resturant in the background, or maybe the haunting call of a starbucks barista as I enjoy conversation with someone. I love people and am always energized by a good conversation. If you call on sunday morning, I probably shouldn't be answering my cell as I am hosting a worship expereince or teaching at The Meeting Place where I have the opportunity to be a friend, guide, pastor and leader. If you catch me in a moment of solitude the background sounds may well be the call of a loon, the ring or a hammer or strains of music (often its jazz). These sounds often accompany my as i practice some of the things that cause newness in my life.
