Following a friend’s suggestion Martin Luther King called a young singer named Coretta Scott out of the blue to introduce himself and to invite her out. They had never met before. He seemed confident and she was doubtful. But soon they were seeing each other often. They would drive to the shoreline near Boston, eat clams and walk by the sea. They attended the Boston Symphony and heard Arthur Rubenstein playing the piano. They went skating, walking together through public parks and they fell in love.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… When you walk through fire… the flame shall not consume you” (Isa. 43).

They say our story is "written in the stars." What if this is even more true than we know? Reading John's Prologue ("In the beginning was the Word...") through the lens of cultural astronomy helps us to see what it means to be human, what it means to be Christian, and how we might live for, and work toward, a world united by faith, hope, and love as we re-member our most ancient story.

"Just as God can’t be divided, neither can God’s grace and truth be divided. There isn’t a Hindu love versus Christian love. There is just love. There isn’t a Buddhist justice versus a Jewish justice. There is just justice. There isn’t an atheist generosity versus a believer generosity. There is simply generosity. All people come from the Light, and all people may testify to that Light. Our Hebrews reading says that the Son is the “reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being.” We may not all be the exact imprint, but we are all stamped in the image of God’s very being (Gen. 1:26-27). However imperfectly we may express it, we cannot help but do so. How wonderful is that? We cannot help but manifest something of God’s very being and life." - @judeaaronharmon

But joy is more than this, joy is when life becomes a kind of gift, a gift we could never have imagined or dreamed of. The theologian Karl Barth writes that, “Joy is really the simplest form of gratitude… to be joyful is to expect that life will reveal itself as God’s grace.
