Your readers will go with you wherever you may roam. Looking forward to hearing what is next on your journey, and sharing it with you if you will let us. Blessings!
Oh no! I'm going to miss you up here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll have to watch your videos. Promise that you'll keep writing and let us know where you go and what you'll be doing. I hope it includes homilies. God bless you and yours wherever you go.
I am half a world away from you in Argentina… I feel mischievously lucky .. that I am not losing you like those in your congregation…. Somehow … I know you will be here! Of course I wish you well and hope that your future will come soon as you are ready to move forward in life! I thank you for every word and thought that has given rise to my faith and love in God. You are a great shepherd waiter!!! Can’t wait to continue on with your journey, knowing that the bread you deliver to me .. feeds every part of my soul!
You will forever be only as far away as my heart. The rest are pure logistics!
But I am curious about where your journey will take you next. The adventure continues.
As for me, I'm back working in London through September. Near as I know, I'll be stateside mid-September, at least that's what the ticket says. Who knows, really.
Now about your Homily...
This writing is pure Jonas, firing on multiple dimensions simultaneously. And still has that perfect Ellision wit that I also experience when reading Anne Lamott.
The central themes of change and loss soon give way to grace, humility, and generosity.
When you speak or write, I often experience the Great Paradox.
Are we not all waiters? What a sublime parable. With the reminder that we cannot give to someone what they already have within. Inspire it perhaps, but it is never ours to give.
I'm keeping this sermon to remind me of the universal laws and principles that are at the core of what I do. In fact, of myself, I do nothing. It is the "father within" that doeth the work. As it is true for me, it is true for all.
Thank you for this, for your friendship, for your commitment to your path. I am continually inspired and humbled by you. Always, with love, Joe
Joe! I’ll keep you and everyone who follows along the way here in the loop. Essentially, we’re moving back to the Sierra Valley just north of Tahoe to be closer to family. I don’t have a job yet but it sounds like there may be some opportunities come late summer or fall.
Beautiful. I'm an east coast person. Hopefully you will continue with your homily videos and Substack where you land next. Where might that be?.

Hi Jonas. Where are you headed?
Back to the Tahoe area 👍
That’s sounds good. I read a comment that you’re not sure about work? Do they have a place for you in Tahoe or a possibility?
There are possibilities 🤞

I know your busy, now busier than ever, but if you find a moment to zoom it’d be great to catch up!
