Joel 2:1-2, 12-17 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | "Yet," a word that dissociates and disjoins what should be with what will be; a word that signals that the ending is pregnant with the beginning. This is the gospel conjunction, and it is with hope that we hear this word on Ash Wednesday: "Yet even now, return to me with all your heart." Our future is in God's hands.
