Orange and blue sunset sky with some clouds
#adventword #declared
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world."
From Psalm 19

Calm water with diagonal, fuzzy reflection of fall color and a single, curled leaf in the upper right quadrant with distinct reflection of the underside of the leaf reflected in the water.
Truly ⚓️
One of the philosophic questions that lives with me is Plato’s cave: when we are trying to understand who we are, what we are, why we are, do we see the world around us—and ourselves—as it/ we truly is/ are, or do we see the shadow and reflection of what we want to see?

"I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea ..."
I always loved this song ... truly, madly, deeply

Ironing board, iron, a white clergy stole and a white shirt
#adventword #robes
Recently, the most bizarre (and also satisfying) load of ironing: a shirt for my oldest baby's first real job interview (which he nailed!) and my very first stole (for once I'm ordained in June).
Future, here we come!

Forgiven by God
Forgiven by those I’ve hurt
Cleansed from all my shame
I am cleansed by God
Buoyant Grace keeps me afloat.
Can I forgive me?

#adventword #highway
“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain."
Isaiah 40:3-4
