    get the door

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham June 30, 2022

idea It gives me some hope but on this day when a door is closing I’m not ready to look for or out a window I’ve got to get the door the closed…

    two more bagels

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham June 28, 2022June 30, 2022

    two more bagels I think it was the end of the first week when I stopped at the corner of Madison and East 35th Street to get a bagel cinnamon raisin on way to my new job almost six years ago not long after, the man in the stainless steel cart learned my order when…

    the christian thing to do

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham June 27, 2022June 28, 2022

    I have been away from much of the media in my life for a few weeks, much of it related to dealing with changes in my life that have taken a toll on me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Posting my sermon this week is a way of saying to you and to myself that I…

    same old song

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham May 16, 2022

    I preached last Sunday at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, a church with which I have a long and meaningful connection, so my sermon is personal for me and for them. Even so, sometimes something that speaks to the particular also has a wider reach. Thanks to their awesome AV team, I have video as…

    catching on

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham May 1, 2022

    The reading for today is one of my favorite passages: Jesus cooking breakfast for Peter and the others who had been fishing all night. For all the times I have read and written about these verses, I saw new things, thanks to a conversation with Ginger. I hope you find some new things, too. ______________________________…

    sing to me

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 27, 2022

    Since I wrote my last post, I have been thinking about songs that would give melody to the symphony of emotions that accompany my decision to leave my job. As I said, I feel sad and hopeful and anxious and sad. I’ve gone through a lot of songs that have offered comfort and courage, but…

    choose to lose

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 25, 2022

    “Choose your losses or lose your choices.” About this time of the year in 1977 I was called to be the pastor of Pecan Grove Baptist Church, a small rural congregation west of Waco; between Oglesby and Mound, to be more exact. In early May of that year, I was ordained. The church celebrated its…

    honest thomas

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 24, 2022

    In some of my writing, I have talked about the ways I think Judas is treated unfairly in the gospels. None of the writers can mention him without reminding everyone that he betrayed Jesus. Thomas is the other disciple that gets misrepresented, I think, more by the generations that followed than by the gospel writers,…

    it’s all in the name

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 16, 2022

    Easter feels like it should be an easier Sunday to preach than it is. The magnitude of the day makes it feels like I should have something big to say, but the reality is the story is quite simple and, in its simplicity, profound. So here’s what I have to say this day. ______________________________ When…

    lenten journal: chipping in

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 14, 2022

    I worked from home today because there wasn’t time to get back from New York and make it to the Maundy Thursday service in Westbrook, where I am interim pastor. I met a friend for coffee and as I was walking home I noticed a crew taking down a dead tree next to the coffee…
