Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

For some time now I have been wanting a place to save the favorite meditations that I come across, which recently are usually from Richard Rohr at the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC). I've been looking for a more visual place than just some app on my phone, and a personal blog seems to fill the bill. So that is what this will be, a place to store the meditations and quotes that are most meaningful to me primarily so that I can periodically come back and refresh my memory. If some of them turn out to be meaningful to you as well, then so much the better.

Peace and every good,

Matt Overholt

Heaven is a Great Party

Heaven is a Great Party (CAC 8/31/2022) When someone says the word "heaven," what is the first thing that comes into my mind? Usually it is that I want to go there but I'm not sure who will be allowed in. I love the way Richard Rohr reframes the image as a celebration truly open to all.

The Sower's Generosity

The Sower's Generosity (CAC 9/1/2022) What a blessed reframing of this well-known parable, which I don't believe I've ever heard before! God's unhindered generosity frees us to aspire to be the best soil that we can be, without any judgement on the less-than-fertile aspects of our lives. May we enjoy the vision of the Sower flinging seeds everywhere with abandonment!

Nonviolence

Nonviolence: Weekly Summary (CAC 10/29/2022) I was raised in one of the few faith traditions that fully embraces nonviolence and hence have long been particularly interested in it. This week's meditations on it were excellent, and I particularly liked "The Decalogue for a Spirituality of Nonviolence" presented in the weekly summary.
