Each year instead of making a New Year’s Resolution (which I will inevitably break before I even get to the end of January), I have begun the spiritual practice of choosing a word to guide me through the year. At the beginning of Advent (the beginning of the church year), I ask God to lead me to the word that I need for that coming year.

or write that we are living in

Wilderness
As we enter into the 40 days of Lent, we are reminded of the 40 days Jesus was tempted in the wilderness and are reminded of the 40 years that the Israelites wandered in the wilderness. The time in the wilderness is a not an easy time, but it is a time of learning who we are and whose we are.

When preparing the theme for this newsletter, Linda Sterner, our producer and editor extraordinaire, asked if the title should be a question or a statement.

One of the basic ways to understand Christianity is that God comes to people through people. God in Jesus chose to become human to bring God’s presence to us through a human.

Resurrection Hope
While many think of Easter as a one-day event to remember and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, for the Christian church it is a fifty-day season beginning with Easter Sunday and ending with Pentecost Sunday. Fifty days! I cannot imagine sustaining our Easter celebration for fifty days!

Living the In Between
We spend much of our lives in between. In between jobs, in between stages of life. There are good in-between times: waiting for a birth, or for a wedding day.

Even in those circumstances when the in-between times create excitement and good anticipation, the waiting can be difficult.
