is that you?
Cold out, 43F 46% and what’s to see, Sirius, planet high in the east, no longer keep up but Jupiter? Orion tripped and falling, slanting down toward the west. Jacket time for the walk, knit cap to pull down over the ears. Yesterday also was chilly, enough winter for me, ready for summer again. Warm lemon water, now b&d. And yep, the bed's already made, no getting back in
Neither religious nor political, just a musing blog, too often an incoherent stream of consciousness that makes me uneasy to post lest someone discern me too well, or realize now I’m public it’s too late for blackmail, or see it’s Time to Baker me. What’s the gospel for next Sunday, Advent One? Jesus said to the disciples, “But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.” Matthew 24:36-44. Uh-oh.
And though we’ll be out of town, here’s our Advent One Collect for the Day
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
