Look from Brook: The God on the Other Side of the Doorway
Retirement has a way of making you look back over your life. Not just the big moments, but the small turns. The conversations you almost forgot. The doors that opened briefly and quietly before closing again. Lately I’ve found myself thinking about a few of those doorways. One takes me back to…

Look from Brook: The Mother's Day Message I Never Got to Preach
This year, I didn’t get a chance to preach a Mother’s Day message. And yet over the last few days, I found myself needing to write one anyway. Maybe because retirement has a way of making you look backward with softer eyes. Or maybe because some memories take decades before you finally understand...

-
I didn't say yes but God kept asking
Pastor Brook re-recorded his sermon because the online recording cut out half way through the service. Take a listen - it's worth it!
-
Look from Brook: Rev. Blue Jeans?!?
Confessions of a chronic lyric-misser I have a bit of a reputation. Not for great pitch. Not for knowing all the words. But for… confidently singing the wrong lyrics. For years—years—I thought Forever in Blue Jeans by Neil Diamond was called: “Reverend Blue Jeans.” I sang it that way. Loudly....

Peace Be With You
John 20:24-29
-
Look from Brook: Two New Stars
This morning, I woke up with a kind of hope I didn’t have before. I had a hard time pinpointing just what it was because it was coming from a different place...a different source. This hope didn't come from what was happening out there: the news reports, the election results, or whether or not…

Look From Brook: Looking Back on 64 Easters
Easter people—- There’s something about coming through Good Friday into Easter that never quite gets old. I’ve walked that road more times than I can count now. The shadows. The silence. The questions that hang in the air like fog. And then… the light. The name spoken. The surprise of life where…

Look from Brook: A Joy That Doesn't Wait for the Scoreboard
Opening Day always does something to me. There’s a crack of the bat, the smell of the grass, the feeling that maybe—just maybe—this is the year everything comes together. And when it does? When the ball clears the fence? That’s my kind of joy. Touchdown joy. Home run joy. The kind that shows up...

Cost of Love
Our North Puget Sound District Superintendent, Rev. Mark Galang, preaches on Jesus in the Garden.

Look from Brook: Cindy in the Middle
I grew up sharing a bedroom with my two older brothers. Three boys in one room is not always the recipe for peace. One morning I woke up to the sound of them fighting. Not just arguing. Really fighting. Voices raised. Bodies moving into “stand off!” position! High noon at the McBride corral! The...

-
Look from Brook: Bread for a Breaking World
In these days it can feel as though the world is coming apart faster than we can hold it together. Wars rage across borders. Cities crumble under bombs. Families are scattered. The fragile structures that generations have tried to build—institutions meant to protect human dignity and restrain the...

Look from Brook, Part 1: When Immigration Separates Families We Know

Look from Brook, Part 2: When the Running Stops, a Lenten Invitation to Pause
Most of us are running harder than we realize. We keep moving — finishing one task, solving one problem, carrying one more responsibility — rarely stopping long enough to ask what all this running is doing to our souls. There is a moment near the end of the film Forrest Gump when Forrest, after...

Stronger Together

Look from Brook: Micro Joys (A Valentine's Reflection)
One of my favorite stories about my parents is wonderfully simple. One night my dad went to bed early and, as a joke, turned himself around so his feet were on the pillow and his head was at the foot of the bed. When my mom came in, she followed her nightly ritual — leaning over to give him a...

What Is Your Name?
So many things in our world are trying to give us names, but what does Jesus name you?

Look From Brook: The Whole Head is Sick
I wrote earlier this week about a small ritual I’ve fallen into over the years. Every Sunday morning, before I leave for church, I stand in front of the mirror for a few quiet seconds. Not to fix anything. Not to judge. Just to notice. It’s a way of asking a simple question: am I actually here?…
