Flying Home

May 21, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

The first big difference I noticed in America was that we move very fast. Everything we do is fast. We want our food fast. We want our news fast. We drive fast. We pump gas fast. We stand before a microwave and shout, “HURRY UP!!!!”

No More Old Songs

May 21, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

I am in the lobby of my hotel, waking up. The coffee is lukewarm. The breakfast is freezer burnt. And the overhead music playing is “Highway to Hell.” You can’t get away from canned music. It’s everywhere.

Dispatches Del Camino (#32)

May 18, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Some of the most powerful lessons we pilgrims have learned on this proverbial Chisholm Trail have not been about life, or the nature of the universe. Our lessons have been in relation to each other.

Dispatches Del Camino (#14)

April 28, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

It was a little church. Off the main path. And you don’t see many “little” churches on the Camino. Most churches here are Gothic monuments. Stone gargantuans, with bells, towering medieval doors, and golden altars. This wasn’t one of those.

Dispatches Del Camino (#6)

April 20, 2025April 20, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

I am sitting in a Spanish bar in the dusty pueblo of Villa de Larraga. This is evidently a locals bar. And I am definitely not a local. I believe I am the only Inglés speaker in this village tonight.

Dispatches From El Camino (#4)

April 18, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

The 83-year-old woman has been opening her home to pilgrims since before I was born. Currently, she is bustling around her house, gathering fresh towels and soaps for us. We are standing in her doorway, drenched, cold, and looking about as content as wet Himalayan cats.

Dear Heaven

April 11, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Dear God,

It’s me again. Actually, I don’t know what you want me to call you. For all I know, you might prefer to be called something Hebrew, Latin, or maybe you don’t want to be called anything at all.

The Elephant and the Ants

March 20, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Once upon a time there were three little ants. The ants had an unusual home. They lived atop an elephant. Long ago the ants’ mother had reasoned that an elephant would be a wise place to lay eggs to keep them from danger.

Don’t Let Your Weak Flesh Stop You

March 16, 2025 by Rob Pue

In the hectic activity of our daily lives, it’s easy to become comfortable and complacent when it comes to our personal devotion to God and our own personal spiritual condition.

The Two Roads of Life: Bitterness or Peace—Choose Wisely

March 16, 2025 by David T. Cloft

Life presents you with two clear paths. One road leads to bitterness, resentment, and the soul-sucking void of perpetual victimhood. The other leads to peace, happiness, and the ability to sleep at night without grinding your teeth into dust.

One Afternoon at Winn Dixie

March 14, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

The kid was filling a shopping buggy. He was reaching for a bag of tortilla chips on the top shelf. I saw one of the older ladies in our aisle reach upward and remove a bag of Tostitos for him.

The Woman Who Tried to Die

February 27, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

It happened in Washington, the Evergreen State. It was late. There was a woman about to kill herself. She was young. Standing on the ledge of an overpass. Holding a stuffed animal. Hair blowing in all directions. She was really going to do it.
