“For the Love of Donuts”
The greatest commandment teaches us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind”. God’s abundant love flows through us and out into the world. We live in our world with a constant desire for more, God teaches us that we have enough in Christ’s love!

“All Better?”
After unfathomable suffering, Job’s fortunes are restored and his blessings doubled. Is it all better?! Pesky questions push through this happy text: why is Job spiritually responsible for his unhelpful friends? Do the lavish blessings prove the retributive justice Job challenged? If everything has been restored, why does he need comfort and consolation from his community? Perhaps it is not all better, but it is well, deeply well, nonetheless.

'“Where Were You??”
Job grieves, complains about, and questions his suffering, especially wounded by God's seeming absence. What does it mean that when God shows up in this story, there are more questions, but not answers? More perspective, but no promises or quick fixes? Do we humans matter immensely or not even a little? Both? Job wrestled with God, and now God questions him. It isn't what Job wants, it's what he needs. Humility and wonder abound.
