Hello:
Hey, with holidays upon us and schedules crazy, how does this sound?
For those who can and want to, we’ll meet at 3rd Street Pizza just before 4 on Sunday afternoon to watch Secretariat…maybe we’ll stick around for pizza or coffee or whatever afterwards.
No get together Sunday, the 26th, but we’ll pick things up Sunday, January 2 at our house at 6.
Merry Christmas!
A couple of thoughts or “micro-brews” of the reflective kind:
I was out at the Trappist Abbey last Friday and was visiting with Brother Mark. I was discussing how I believe people desire and need to have a hope for the future…he said, “And hope for the past.” I’d never heard that phrase. But it makes sense, doesn’t it? That kind of hope helps us believe that events, people, trials, regrets and things we’ve tried to forget are “redeemable” somehow, some way, some time, through the help of a God whose arm is not too short.
Second thing…don’t know if you’ve seen the YouTube video of Narayanan Krishnan, a former chef in a 5-star restaurant in India, who quit his job to care for, feed and reach out to the destitute, homeless and elderly in his city.
One person commented on Facebook that this is what Christ came to do? Is this guy doing it “in Christ’s name”? What does that mean? Is it the words or label that makes it “in Christ’s name”? Or, is it the actions? Or both? Or either? One person referred to him as Brother Teresa. I like that. Food for thought…
