February 23, 2025: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Seriously Jesus? I mean, seriously? Have you SEEN what is going on here in the US? Sometimes I can imagine a conversation with Jesus going like this: Jesus and somebody, let’s say their name is Ollie, are sitting on a bench somewhere. Ollie has just heard this bit from the sermon on the plain, and says: Ollie: Yeah, I hear ya, but you know… look what they are doing – abusing God’s beloved children and creation too. I mean, come on, didn’t even the Hebrew scriptures say there was “a time for love and a time for hate?” Jesus: Good song by The Byrds too. Ollie: Yeah, the 60’s – good music. Jesus: Yup. So,…
February 16, 2025: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. Sometimes it seems the scriptures assigned for reading on a given Sunday are so perfectly suited for the times in which we live – and today, that is most definitely so. Just this past Wednesday, some fellow who owns a company formally known as Twitter, re-posted a meme that went underreported considering how vile it was. This unelected guy, who recently caused thousands of civil servants to lose their jobs, posted a meme on his social media platform that showed a young, white, blue-eyed, blond woman smiling up at a TV screen with the caption, “Watching [the POTUS] slash federal programs because it doesn’t affect you because you’re not a member of the ‘Parasite Class.’” “Parasite Class?” This is the same guy who rakes in billions in taxpayer funds to his businesses and yet he is saying…
February 2, 2025 – Candlemas: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. “Two turtledoves, and a ground hog who sees his shadow.” What, not right? Well, at any rate, Merry Christmas everyone! And you thought all that was over weeks ago when those crazy wild guys from the East showed up. Well, not so fast. If you have your tree still up (and believe it or not, I do – not just the artificial one, but my live tree is still doing well!) – then you are not late at all. Today marks the final day of Christmas – for real this time. You might note that our gospel today is from Luke Chapter 2. This comes just one verse after the story about the shepherds visiting the baby Jesus. The missing verse is his circumcision on the 8th day. So, we are clearly still in…
