About Me

Name - John Gedbaw

Where - Omaha, Nebraska (USA)

Status - married, three adult sons

What I Do - retired

Religious Background - Catholic

I trained for ministry, earned a degree in theology, and served in active ministry for a short time.

- Web Sites -

A Grain of Wheat - a collection of my writings on matters of faith, spirituality, and social concern. The site also includes a variety of external resources of interest to people of faith.

Gleanings - a spiritual journal. The posts tend to be infrequent, reflecting perhaps the fact that much of the spiritual life is spent in silence and darkness.

Least of My Brothers - real stories I find in the news that raise awareness of the social dimension of the Gospel.

My web resources are strictly my own work. I am not affiliated with any religious organization, and I do not claim to represent any views other than my own.

"The goal of all striving for perfection is this: that the soul, purged of every desire of the flesh, may be elevated more each day to spiritual things, until finally one's whole way of life and all the yearnings of one's heart become a single and continuous prayer."

John Cassian (360-435)
