MASH S11 E14
M*A*S*H is an American war comedy-drama television series that aired on CBS from 1972 to 1983. It was developed by Larry Gelbart, adapted from the 1970 feature film M*A*S*H, which, in turn, was based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The series, which was produced with 20th Century Fox Television for CBS, follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the "4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital" in Uijeongbu, South Korea, during the Korean War (1950–53).

Time for Rest
Today’s ReflectionJOHN WESLEY, founder of the Methodist movement, was known for his energy and activism. He traveled many miles on horseback and on foot to preach and guide the ministry. Sometimes theologians and historians lift him up as a kind of “energizer bunny” who never slowed down. Yet Wesley knew the value of rest and sometimes referred to sleep as a sacrament.Take time today to rest, maybe even nap.

Finding God in Nature
Today’s Reflection
I SEE GOD every day when I look at the pink and orange morning sky and the sun peeking out from behind the clouds. I see God every time I dive into the silent depths of the ocean. I’m aware of God when I stop and look at God’s creation. In these moments, my heart seems to be looking at God, and I believe God is looking back. God’s works teach us about who God is. Where do you find God in nature?

Rhythms of Life
Today’s ReflectionSTABILITY OF THE HEART does not come naturally. But the simple rhythms of tending to body and soul — making oatmeal and saying prayers, keeping house and singing songs — bring me back to a center, to a still point that is fixed in this place. I do not know how to eliminate distractions (even if I shut down my e-mail, turn off the cell phone, and drive to a pristine retreat center, my thoughts are still with me.)But I can keep the rhythms that are given to me by my church and community. I can listen to my son and watch the birds more closely. The desert mother Amma Syncletica said, “If a bird abandons the eggs she has been sitting on, she prevents them from hatching, and in the same way monks or nuns will grow cold and their faith will perish if they go around from one place to another.” I hold this fragment like a leaf in my beak. I’ll take what I’m given and build with it

A Prayer for the Church
Today’s ReflectionDEAR LORD, thank you for my churchand for the people who are a part of it. I’m grateful to be reminded each Sunday of who I want to be, who you want me to be, and who you want us to be together. Continue to guide the pastor, other leaders, and each church family member. Keep us faithful to you and to the mission you have given us. Help our lives better reflect your love, both as individuals and as a community. I pray for courage and encouragement for those who are starting new churches. Let their lives show your love and caring so that many people who need you will find you. Help my living always be a credit to my church and a sign of my faith in you. Amen.

Spiritual Friendship
Today’s ReflectionAUTHENTIC FRIENDSHIP is found with someone who accepts us as we are. A sure sign of spiritual friendship is when we feel willingness, even a desire, to risk disclosing our true self. Stressful transitions, times of profound grief and loss, moments when we must release some anxiety or fear, hopes we long to express that cannot yet be voiced in public — these are the moments when nothing is as comforting as a companion with whom we can be completely transparent.

Pray on the Run
Today’s Reflection
A MOTHER OF a busy toddler asked me once how to pray with her child. “He won’t be still, not even for one second,” she said. “I’ve tried to get him to be quiet for a short, one sentence prayer, but he won’t event stop for that.” My response was, “Then pray with him on the run. As he is running in the yard, run beside him, and notice the flowers or the leaves or whatever catches his attention. Just comment on them, saying, ‘God made such beautiful flowers or leaves.’ Or say, ‘Thank you, God, for making such a beautiful world.'” Even this small beginning will bear fruit.

Beloved
Today’s Reflection
OUR CAPACITIES FOR COMPASSION are deepened when we stay grounded in the sacred truth of our belovedness. So often we forget. We start believing the lies that we are not worthy of love. We seek the source of value in our work, wealth, physical appearance, and in others while deep within, the longing lingers. We long for the face of the universe to turn toward us with care.
The path of compassion invites us to remember that our belovedness is as secure as the air we breathe. It is the ground on which we have our being. The face is smiling as we speak. Remembering, reconnecting with, and rooting ourselves deeply in the loving essence of the universe reminds us of the truth of our sacred belovedness. We deepen our connection with this compassionate presence in various ways — prayer, meditation, solitude, retreat, worship, ritual, fellowship, and community. Many reconnect with this sacred presence by remembering and savoring the sacred moments that have graced them throughout the course of their lives.
Regardless of religious practice, the invitation is the same. Return to the ground of infinite compassion. Behold your face held as beloved. Breathe this love into every fiber of your being. And leave replenished, loved and alive, as a bearer of love for our world.

Today’s Reflection
DEAR GOD, I do not sail calm seas. I am driven by tempests of emotion. Help me to harness these to the purposes of your kingdom, for unharnessed they drive me to the rocks upon which both I and my relationship with you are broken. I surrender myself and my emotions to you. Amen.

For Persons in Conflict
Today’s Reflection
WE DON’T ALWAYS think of praying for those locked in a dispute. When we hear that a brother is divorcing or two friends aren’t speaking, we may get caught up in taking sides. Instead we can lift them up to God, sending each one love and strength in the Spirit.Such prayers might go something like this:
May the wisdom of the Spirit be with each of you.
May your hearts be open to the grace of healing.
O God, our refuge, protect and guide them.
God of love, show them the way to love.
Prayer addresses the helplessness we feel when relationships seem to be unraveling. Each time we hear more of the pain and impasse, we can take the matter to prayer once again.
