The OMG reflections from Norm McGraw, Steve Hall, & John Pearring
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, October 21, 2025
Some of His laws are easy to follow
For all the others, “Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.”
By Norm McGraw
Click here to read Norm McGraw’s reflection from October 21, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
Regarding death and the afterlife, my agnostic friend viewed it as undergoing a “change” to the unknown that can be positive, “depending on how you look at it.” My “religious” friend hoped she wouldn’t run into someone she disliked in this life in heaven, which led us into a discussion of how she would handle it.
Norm McGraw’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
Choose now and be ready for what is to come
“I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse…”
By Steve Hall

We read of Moses speaking to the Hebrew people who had only recently escaped slavery. They have been given the Commandments at Mt Sinai; now they must make a choice.
Steve Hall’s reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
Shuffling off this mortal coil
Imagining the restoration of the heavens and earth coming in the next age
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from October 21, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
Imagine that the Paradise God carved out of the universe, as it was blockaded from all of creation, now unhinged and out of order, as a kind of cornerstone in the restoration of the heavens and earth coming in the next age. Our imaginations are a playground for God, if we accept his boundaries, that is.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
