NCR's sister publication, Celebration, gives you two options, both based on the Scripture readings of the day: Pencil Preaching is blog that Celebration editor Pat Marrin combines scripture and sketching to reflect on the word. Daily Bread is a series short reflections, written by four authors who meet regularly to share the readings.
