Backward Shutters

Michael’s blown over and taken the power with him. But y’all come on over anyways, we got possum on the grill! #imgrinnin

A bouquet for the lovelies in my life.

Started preaching from #Jeremiah this morning. #eugenepeterson’s rendering in #themessage of the Hebrew pun ‘shaqed’ and ‘shoqed’ (which are ‘almond branch’ and ‘watching’) inspired a verse reimagining Jeremiah’s call. What Do You See? I loved you before I made you in love In the hidden place of your begetting; Your life’s mission, appointed from above, Is to speak my words, my word spreading. “Ah, but Lord God, don’t you know, can’t you see? I am only a youth; I cannot speak. No one will heed or listen to me; I don't know how, I'm not strong, only weak.” Ah? Indeed, ‘Ah,’ do not say, do you hear? Into your mouth I place my words of power; You shall say what I say. Go. Do not fear; Though they buffet, you’ll remain my strong tower. “How will I know that you are with me?” I thought to myself as I walked along. Jeremiah, tell me, what do you see? I replied, “I see a stick of almond.” You see well, son! I’ll be sticking all ‘round — Watch you work, watch my word, for years to come. You watch each spring when this stick of almond Reminds with its blooms the sticking I’ve done. Remember this stick; with you, I’m sticking ‘round Whether you work to plant, pull up, or tear down. ... ... ... Photo: hand colored etching by Marc Chagall titled, Calling of Jeremiah, 1957.
