Chaplain Michael Eselun - December 28, 2025
Ragged Edges
Most of us would prefer tidiness over mess—a place for everything and everything in its place. Sadly, life seldom cooperates. Life is messy—perspectives and realities can collide at such inopportune times. Can we come to peace with mess? Even stand in awe before the jarring mess of life? Popular guest speaker and UCLA oncology chaplain Michael Eselun will share some reflections with no answers at all.

From Monthly: "Choosing Hope"
Our theme this month invites us to consider our world, our community, and our lives in the light of the practice of Choosing Hope. This month let us seek opportunities to notice and share ways of Choosing Hope. Every kind word, every act of help, every smile is a spark. And when we remember those who have helped us shine, we carry their light forward to others.
