Advent 1 - Year C
be careful what you wish for
a cloud full of power
sounds good now
great greasy gopher glory
has its appeal
oh the shaking
that now attracts
is a journey down a wrong track
remember st. jimi h

overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace.”... more »

Advent 1 - Year C
1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
A thanksgiving pericope on Thanksgiving Day. The focus here, though, is
not storing up enough turkey energy to arise early for Black Friday
shopping. This thanksgiving is much more personal.
"How can we thank G*D enough for you in return for all the joy that we... more »

Advent 1 - Year C
Psalm 25:1-10
This is almost an acrostic psalm. Problem is, two letters are missing
and two doubled. Likely this reflects changes it has undergone in its
transmission. If so, what is an originalist, a literalist, to do?
One thing available with the broken pattern is for us to be open to... more »

Advent 1 - Year C
Jeremiah 33:14-16
What does it mean to live in the midst of a promise being fulfilled? It
is to find righteousness by continuing to live as though the promise
were already true.
Stanley Hauerwas speaks of Advent being Patience, "G*D has made us a
people of promise in a world of impatience." He goes on to speak of... more »

Advent 1 - Year C
Luke 21:25-36
Life is uncertain in its details. [Note G*D, not Devil, is concerned

A basic choice presented with this piece of Gospel writing reflects a
disaster inflicted upon Jerusalem and its Temple and how that and other
persecutions made it seem as though there was nothing to currently rely... more »

Pentecost +Last - Year B
Revelation 1:4b-8
Sometimes we find ourselves saying more than we know. In a conflictual
setting we sometimes only know we want to replace some negative with a
positive rather than moving on to a new paradigm. This happens here in
the description of Jesus in verse 5. If nasty old Babylon/Rome has a... more »

Pentecost +Last - Year B
Psalm 132:1-12
G*D needs a rest. Too much wandering around outside of Eden and coming
up with new responses to these very creative humans packed to
overflowing with cosmic energy.
G*D needs a rest. Too many promises to too many people. Too many
expectations. Too many covenant revisions and new creations.... more »
