The Passionate Host

The texts for Sunday, October 9, 2011 were: Isaiah 25:1–9; Psalm 23; Philippians 4:1–9; and Matthew 22:1–14

… God has also prepared a banquet, according to Isaiah.

A banquet to celebrate the end of old things and the beginning of new.

A banquet that in itself is truly grace.

Everyone is welcome there.

There is rich food and well aged wine.

No one goes hungry.

God’s love overflows from every cup and every morsel of food.

Song and laughter and love and joy permeates the air like the smell of a finely prepared meal …

I am, well ... me. I am probably most defined by my diversity of experiences: I have lived in three countries and visited (or lived on) six continents. I love to garden and take pictures and think about theology (and grace and justice and all that jazz) and I love Jazz (and a whole lot of other music too) ... and I do yoga and go hiking and enjoy meeting new people and talking international politics and working on justice issues and watching wildlife in my yard and wandering in NYC and kayaking. I especially love sitting in coffee shops and talking to friends. I hate sitting in my office. Oh, and they call me "Pastor," at least some of the time. View more posts
