“Jesus says: ‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.'”
“Like the descriptions of the redwoods cannot substitute for actually being in the old growth forest, so the stories of Jesus cannot stand in for a relationship with him.”

“To speak God’s love fluently, we must share the heart of God, and we begin to do that through our response to the baby in the manger because in him, unlike us, there is no disconnect between his words and his actions. We over-promise and under-deliver. God under promises in the event of Jesus, a small baby born in a stable, but over delivers in giving salvation to the world.”
Wherever we are and however we feel, Christ is born for us!
Whether we believe or doubt, Christ is born for us!
Whether we’re joyful or full of sorrow, Christ is born for us!
From all of us here at the Episcopal Cafè, we wish you and all who are dear to you every blessing of this season
angels—angels!—are always at the most precarious places of life.
Merry Christmas to all our listeners!
Good tidings of great Joy
