CRAIG A. PHILLIPS, PH.D.
I recently posted a meditation on my free Substack Page based on my experiences of mowing of ten acres of field every summer in the Adirondacks. It’s about how we avoid solitude and why the most uncomfortable spaces sometimes offer the most essential encounters with who we really are. “When you can’t escape the heat, the noise, or the monotony, you eventually stop trying to escape yourself.”

I hope you will enjoy reading it.
I hope you will enjoy my new post, “The Art of Aimless Exploration,” on my free Substack page.
An aimless twelve-mile ride on an e-bike reminded me that some of life’s best discoveries happen when we’re not actively seeking them. They happen when we’re open to surprise, willing to explore the dead ends, curious about what lies beyond our well-traveled paths. Sometimes we need to get lost to find who we are.

The non-profit, A Faith that Does Justice, has published my essay on Tom Petty’s song, “Crawling Back to You,” that first appeared in a shorter version on my Substack page, https://craigphillips.substack.com, as “The Weekly Word.”
This revised contribution adds additional content relating the song to the Collect for the 8th Sunday after the Epiphany from the Book of Common Prayer.
I hope you enjoy reading this. If you are already subscribed to this blog site, “In These Times,” please consider also subscribing to my new free Substack page:
A Faith that Does Justice has published another contribution of mine as the “Weekly Word.” The article poses the question, why do the people of God often fail to appreciate, or even notice, God’s many blessings and be thankful for them?
I posted today on my childhood remembrances of the 1961 World Championship, New York, Yankees.
I also suggest ways that we can recognize the people in our daily lives that we can easily overlook.

The non-profit, A Faith that does Justice, has published another contribution of mine about one of my favorite short prayers from the (Anglican) book, A St. Francis Prayer Book. It is entitled, “For gentleness in my dealings.”
The non-profit, A Faith that Does Justice,” has republished another widely read blogpost of mine from this site, “In These Times.” Here is the link to the repost:
This site features my writings on everyday life, but occasionally writing from my work as an Episcopal Priest. I am retired now from that work, but am still active as a blogger and an academic writer.
The non-profit, A Faith that does Justice, has published my third contribution to their column, “The Weekly Word.” This post is the third of four columns that they have chosen to appear on their website. It focuses on the relationship between healing and justice in the teaching and actions of Jesus and on how you, the reader, might enact that justice in the world today.
