Powering Down the Christmas Machine
I will not start packing up the decorations today.
Advent
This Advent, This Love
In keeping with a resounding theme, Advent, this year, has truly served as a time to reflect on love
What we know to do
“Why do you always do the work in the kitchen at church? Why not Dad?”
Walking through Advent toward the Light
Back in the early ‘80’s, when I was still living in Colorado, on Good Friday mornings a friend and I would take the 4 to 5 a.m. Night Watch shift at church, then we’d drive out to Warren Lake.
A lunch bag, a water bottle, and an empty tissue box
Not one person in my life would accuse me of being chronically organized.
CS Lewis’ Compelling Representation of Christ
Safe? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.
The God of Light, of Love
John, for me, is the apostle of light, the apostle who shines the light on the true nature of our God and our Lord and Savior.
Longing for God and Something Familiar in Advent
As if on cue, every second Sunday of Advent my husband and I get into an argument about the correct type of lights to hang in order to welcome baby Jesus, the incarnate God, into the world.
Have you any Christmas cheer?
I recently had a literal “come to Jesus” moment while saying goodbye to a fellow parishioner leaving our Sunday service.
