reflections on the catechism: the ten commandments
In the Catechism (the Outline of the Faith) in the Book of Common Prayer, the fourth section of questions is about The Ten Commandments. This follows the first section of the Catechism that explores The Old Covenant. It seems like when we think about the Ten...
creating a rule of life: spiritual stability for mental clarity
Is it just me, or does life just feel chaotic sometimes (or more)? It can easily make my head spin! I feel like I often find myself just praying for peace and order. And that's where a Rule of Life comes in. It brings a rhythm and a sense of stability that I can hold...
confession and cleansing: healing power in naming what’s broken
There's a lot about liturgical worship that can bring healing. But there's something about the Confession of Sin that just hits deeper. When you really understand what's happening during the liturgy, you'll see that not only is it possible, but it's certain that you...
healing through liturgy: how worship restores the hurting soul

"Avoid wrangling over words…" — Paul`s advice to Timothy sounds like it was written for social media in 2025. 📱
He reminds us that endless arguing does no good but only ruins those who are listening.
The call is clear: handle truth with integrity, not hostility.
Because our world doesn`t need more noise — it needs clarity, rooted in Christ. 🙏

Another Blessing of the Stage is in the books! 🙏
This is a really cool event that I get to help run a couple times per year at Mount Dora High School before their big productions.
I feed them chicken nuggies, then we grab candles and gather on the stage.
I shared with them the words of Saint Paul as he writes about how we are different members of one body. It`s this kind of community perspective that makes what they do special. When every member plays their part, it creates something magical!
Then I prayed a prayer for a theater performance with them, something that`s becoming a big part of this tradition.
And then the special part happened as they spoke words of truth and gratitude and blessing over one another as they sprinkled water all around the stage area and each other.
In the end, water everywhere (as if we baptized the stage)... everyone left with full heart and a reminder that they are all important parts of something much bigger than themselves.
These youth inspire me so much, and I`ll continue be there for them and pray for them as they perform and discover who they were created to be.
Amen.

God`s grace isn`t stopped by exile, hardship, or division. 🌿
It goes before us into the hard places… and follows after to redeem what we offer in faith.
"No exile, no prison, no cultural storm can ever chain the Word of God or silence His grace." 🙌

I`ve heard that early Christians sometimes used the bee as an emblem of Christ, with the sweetness of honey representing forgiveness and the sting representing justice.
The hive also represents the Church as a community working together for the common good, with every member having a purpose.
And I love seeing these guys flying around the flowers in my backyard!

Babylon. Rome. Two very different worlds — one story.
God`s purposes aren`t defeated by exile, hardship, or loss of influence.
You`re not an exile of circumstance. You`re an image-bearer of a loving God, called to mirror His faithfulness even in hard places. 🌿
Watch this reminder that faithfulness isn`t about reclaiming power — it`s about embodying grace.

Every prayer. Every Eucharist. Every act of service. Each is a way of saying we refuse to forget who we are—and Whose we are.
That`s part of what I`ll be preaching about this Sunday: how God`s grace precedes and follows us, even in the hard places.

Through it all, we`re not alone. And that fact can carry us through a mountain of pain and worry and stress.
Today in some teaching on the liturgy, one of the things that stood out is how much of it focuses on the "we" and not the "I." And there`s great peace and comfort in the "we."
We not only have God to walk through our trials with us, but we also have each other.

A Message From Dan
What does it look like to live a Christian life? Like, TRULY live a Christian life? If I’m honest, I’m over the fake front of being a happy, blessed, and perfect person in order to impress others. Truth is, I’m a sinner who’s just trying to figure out how to do this without looking like an absolute fool. I think the Christian life is about admitting our brokenness, while raising our hand to say,”Here I am Lord! What would You have me do?” And that’s what this blog is all about… just a dude trying to do the best I can, and maybe hoping that you’re stumbling through the same journey. Maybe we can walk together.
