This is, of course, a real picture. But there’s a lot that is “unreal” about it. It was from a hike last fall but there’s a lot of extreme photoshopping that I did to this picture. Why? Not because I think it looks good or […]

Savoring the Word 07 – Luke 7:36-50 – Building Up not Breaking Down
As I have been going over this passage many times this week both for my own personal work as well as for the sermon on Sunday, I was originally thinking about an underlying message of brokenness – the brokenness of the woman who anointed Jesus […]
Savoring the Word 06 – Luke 7:18-35 – Signs

Imago Scriptura 28 – Bread
In the reading from Luke today (2:21-52), we meet Simeon and Anna – two people who greet Mary and Joseph and the young Jesus in the temple. Simeon was a man to whom it had been revealed that he would not die before he saw […]
