Today is the second Sunday after Epiphany. This season began with the visit of the magi which we celebrated with Bishop Keith; and continues each Sunday in the season by remembering and celebrating an event in Jesus’ life that helped to make him known to the world. |

Merry Christmas!
There is something about this season of the year that grabs our attention. Of course there are a lot of trappings that surround Christmas—shopping and gift giving; holiday parties and family meals; |

The last two Sundays we have explored the meaning of the season of Advent. Last week we considered John the Baptist and his message about mountains and hills being lowered and valleys being filled. I suggested that the landscapes that John prophesied would change dramatically are the interior and social landscapes of our lives. Last week we talked about the interior landscape—our worries that distract us and the longing for God that lingers within us. |

Good morning. I heard from many of you that you enjoyed having Fr. Joe Herring as our guest priest last Sunday. As you could probably tell, Joe has a passion for Advent that includes great depth of knowledge and engaging ideas. I could not think of a better priest to be with you to begin this special season.

Today is Christ the King Sunday, the day in the church year when we acknowledge that Jesus is our king, the king of the church and ultimately the king of all creation. It is a celebratory day that serves as the conclusion to the church’s liturgical year. Next Sunday, we begin a new year together with the start of the season of Advent. |

Have you ever wondered what Jesus was like as a boy? The canonical Gospels are fairly silent about this time of his life. After the majesty and mystery of the birth narratives of Matthew and Luke, there is really only one detailed story about Jesus before he shows up to be baptized at the Jordan River. |

How is your memory? As most of us grow older, that becomes a common subject of our conversation. Who has not walked into a room and then paused and said, “Now why did I come in here?” Frustrating, but it’s good to keep a sense of humor about it. Some people have razor sharp memories-- they never lose their train of thought; they remember what happened two weeks ago, two months ago, even two years ago; they even remember what happened when they were two years old. I envy those people. |

Today, we heard again from the book of Job-- the last of four readings over the past four weeks. Last week we explored the central question from the book—what is God’s response to human suffering? We discussed God’s loving involvement in creation; and God’s connection to human life-- including suffering-- through Jesus. But we did not find a simple answer to the question of human suffering. Today we heard what appears to be the conclusion to Job’s complex story. |
