Readings for the Fourth Sunday in Advent - Micah 5:1-4a; Luke 1:39-45
Finally! Mary takes center stage and Bethlehem is mentioned. Just not in the way we might think. The former has to do w/ someone else's birth and the latter w/ a prophecy. But at least we are getting somewhere. Just where, however, are we going? Down. That's where. Into smallness. Because that's precisely where God desires to reside. Not in Rome or Greece. Not in the Temple or the halls of Herod. And to explain, we look at the story of Gideon.
Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music. And as always, thank you to you for listening. I'm in awe and so humbled. May God be with you this Christmas season and always. Have a question or a comment? I can be reached at
