September 29, 2024: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. In our first reading, from the book of Esther, we got to hear a small part of this incredible woman’s story. For the life of me, I cannot understand why our lectionary, the readings chosen for each week, and used by nearly all denominations, only gives us this little bit of this fantastic story. This is it – just this reading. Sure, we can have five weeks on a single chapter of the gospel of John every August in Year B (the year of the lectionary we are in at the moment), but we can’t give this story more than a single Sunday? Not only that, we don’t give you the full story, so it is hard to understand what is really going on here. So…let’s correct that error and give Esther her due. Now, I…
May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Gosh it is so good to be back here with all of you! While I really enjoyed my vacation, and needed it so very much, I missed you’all! I missed the choir too! And it is so awesome to be returning on Choir Appreciation Sunday. What an amazing sound they raise up to God every week! And, I am so happy to finally be able to truly welcome our new Director of Music, Ryan Bridge! Now, one of the things I had hoped to do while I was away was to get to Citi Field to watch my Mets play. I didn’t, but I did get a chance to enjoy watching them on TV. And if, like me, you are a baseball fan, you probably heard about a big event this past week – and no, not the three…
August 18, 2024: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. One phrase we often hear, particularly in political punditry or business consulting, is that of “splitting the baby.” Have you’all heard that? Now, why on earth would anyone talk about doing such a gruesome thing? Well, glad you asked… because it was something that marked the early part of the reign of a long ago king. The very one we heard about in today’s reading from, appropriately, Kings. Specifically 1 Kings 2 & 3. This was a moment of transition. King David was dying, and Solomon, one of his sons, was made the next King. Sounds simple enough – if you just take the verses we get today. However, as I have often said, notice when there are gaps in the verses. Well, we get a boatload of them today. The short version of what is…
