Images for Sunday (5/30)

I've gathered a few images to help consider the Trinity:



This first image captures a logical description of the Trinity.
















This second image is a famous icon depicting the Trinity.






























This third image captures how one person can be defined multiple ways (mother/grandmother/daughter).













This last image draws specific attention to the relational aspect of the Trinity.

i got a girl in the war The Holy Gospel according toSt. Luke the 18th Chapter! It's interesting, I was thinking of using the song Hal played today (We Shall Overcome) as a kind of meditation, but eventually I decided to use this great poem by Langston Hughes; Lorraine Hansberry used it as inspiration for her brilliant play, "Raisin in the Sun." The poem goes like this: What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore / and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat, Or crust and sugar over / like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags / Like a heavy load. Or does it explode... This poem, and its final wondering in the dark, have served many as they sought to navigate their way through pain, through trials. And truthfully this poem can still be of service, and can serve as a kind of meditation upon today's gospel. Because truthfully, Jesus just has this way of breaking our hearts, of ...

& i love you for who you are right now the best A sermon on that time we almost threw it away for papier-mâché “I’ve been blessed ,” he said.   I knew I heard him. But then again, I needed to double-check , just to be sure. For one thing, we, sadly, don’t speak this way anymore. Do we? For another, I let myself in, and he was napping . Perhaps I started him. Or maybe he was speaking in response to something in a dream .   But no, I had heard him right . Honestly, though, what he said was unexpected, given the circumstances . That’s why I let myself in. I don’t schedule visits. I just drop by. But typically , I knock first. Not this time, though. I let myself in because Bambi , Tim’s wife of nearly fifty years, had recently died .   The death was so fresh that the hospital bed Bambi had mostly been confined to for years was still sitting against the East side of the living room wall. And it wasn’t just that Bambi had recently died, either. It was that the Alzh...

& somehow, i see / it's free A sermon for the confirmation of Chase & Jack: Chase , Jack, dear brothers in Christ, welcome to the faith ! Did that sound odd ? I bet it did. I bet it did, but I want you to know I meant it. And, what’s more , the peculiarity of that sentence is no accident, either. Herein lies your first lesson today: Faith is not intuitive. On the contrary , faith is counterintuitive . The more strange , the closer you are to that blessed and mysterious beating heart of faith. With any luck, you’ll find yourself saying, “How odd of God” many times.   With that, we’ve come upon our second lesson for today: Faith is not a program. And faith is not a formula, either. Faith is not a way to hide from life. And neither is faith a guide to make the confusing twists and turns of reality fit into a predetermined mold.   No, faith doesn’t tell you what lies ahead . Truth be told, real faith really wants nothing to do with that kind of chicanery . No, fa...
