The cultural tendencies of this time invite us to flit quickly from one story to another, sampling information and taking in various soundbites—both social and spiritual. It is as though we have been tacitly instructed never to dive too deep and to click quickly past anything that doesn’t automatically arrest our attention. Amid the mental clutter of so many neon-bright attention grabbers, the choice to read a book in full, slowly ...

When Sheree Volesky was homeless, she lived in a tent in the woods until someone stole it. She couch surfed at the homes of relatives and friends, eventually wearing out her welcome. She lived in an ice fishing shelter, constantly chopping wood so she and her half-blind dog Archie would stay warm. When she finally got an apartment, she was evicted after a former boyfriend kicked in the front door. Being unhoused in Minnesota was ju...

Over the last 150-plus years these are the words that have been used to describe United Women in Faith. I don’t know about you, but I think that it is pretty outstanding to be part of an organization that can hold such a strong claim to a variety of descriptors like those.

United Women in Faith, or, as I like to call us, The League of Extraordinary Unreasonable Women has a long history that is rooted in spiritual growth, social just...

We sometimes refer to the people closest to us, with whom we experience the most intimacy and love, as our “circle” of friends, or of care, or of trust. Make a physical reminder of your circle and hold in your heart where your circle might expand in the year to come. 

Get a pen or pencil and paper. Now draw freehand a light circle shape (or as circular as you can get). Within the circle, write the names of the people with whom you a...
