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.

Vampires and Vitality

“Vampire stories and the Real Presence”, James Rogers

Rather than the resurrected Lord who willingly offers his own sacrificed body and blood to give humans eternal life, Vampires are resurrected lords who sacrifice unwilling humans to take their blood for eternal life for themselves.

(HT: Gene Veith)
