The Revised Common Lectionary has changed up the readings for All Saints’ Day. Back in the BCP day, the Old Testament reading was from Ecclesiasticus (“Let us now sing the praises of famous men...”) and the gospel reading was from Matthew (The Bea...

I’m almost sad that our readings from Job have come to an end. This is one of the richest books in the bible and nothing prevents anyone from reading and re-reading it. I, however, will have to find new reflection foci! The end of Job almost soun...

Remember last week when Job could not find God? We heard a bit of Job’s lament and we felt Job’s loneliness in the face of an absent God. Fifteen chapters have intervened since then and Job has spent some more time talking about the world accordin...

Rector’s Reflection – 2 Advent, Year C – December 6, 2009

I received this morsel of food for thought the other day from a friend of mine, It struck me
because I had just seen a penny lying in the parking lot and had decided against picking it up. And
then I read this:

“You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from
angels, etc. This is the first time I’ve ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think
about.

Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weeken… Continue

Rector’s Reflection – Advent 1 – November 29, 2009

Years ago, a friend of mine was enchanted by a song by Bobby Vee. She hummed it; she
whistled it; she sang it. All of us who hung around with her learned never to be surprised if she burst
into song – and not always at the best times. I still hear her voice singing, “Oh a tree in motion, see
its gentle sway-ay...”

As I recall, she was the only person in the group that thought the song was even remotely
cool, and what made her obsession even more annoying was that the words were “POETRY in
motio… Continue

Rector’s Reflection – Last Pentecost, Proper 29 – November 22, 2009

Famous last words. It’s almost a throwaway line. “I’m starting Christmas shopping early
this year!” Yeah... famous last words.

Of course there are those famous LAST words... some authenticated and some perchance
apocryphal. Poet Heinrich Heine is reported to have said on his deathbed, “God will pardon me;
that’s his line of work.” Of course, there’s Julius Caesar’s famous “Et tu, Brute?” And the
inimitable Oscar Wilde is said to have said, “Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.”

The reading fro… Continue

Rector’s Reflection – 24 Pentecost, Proper 28 – November 15, 2009

Today we meet Elkanah, Peninnah, and Hannah (a name that is not only a palindrome, but
is also a whole lot easier to pronounce than the other two). Peninnah and Hannah were Elkanah’s
wives but only Peninnah had borne any children for him... a fact that she would not let Hannah
forget. Year after year Hannah was besieged by endless “nyeh, nyeh, nyehs” from Peninnah. The
more Hannah asked the Lord for children, the more her wife-in-law made fun of her. One day,
Hannah had had it. She burst into te… Continue
