I need to run. I want to run. I can not stand the way I am. I am way out of shape now I am sure. There is no way that 6-7 months of physically not being able to do much that I am in the same shape as I once was. So why don’t I just go run… Well I have this overwhelming feeling that if I started a run I would not be able to finish it and would have to slowly over the course of several days crawl back home. (Okay I may be exaggerating a bit). I know me and as I know me I know I would try to push myself to far. So if anyone wants to go with me (knowing it will be at a slow pace and that they will end up caring me back…) let me know. Now that I have written this, don’t be surprised if you find me writing (or some relative or friend of mine) that I attempt to run sometime this week and….
Enough about that.
Tomorrow Today is the second Sunday of the advent season. It is the Peace Sunday and for Community of Christ the theme today is Speak Peace. From the lectionary we find among the scriptures for today that Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13 is bolded, which means it should relate to the theme the most.
As it is also the first Sunday of the month, in most Community of Christ congregations it is Communion Sunday. Thus most members who go to church today (or have already gone in some parts of the world) will be partaking in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper today and that unmarked offerings given will placed into the Oblation fund to help members and others who are in need around the globe.
A year ago I gave the sermon on the first Sunday of December. As like this year, it was also the Peace Sunday of the Advent Season. Different theme and different set of scriptures, and in a way I wish I was preaching again. The theme speaks to me in some way.
Well, it is getting later with every word I write. I do apologize for the emptiness of this post. I want to write more in depth about things running though my head right now, but I need to go to sleep.
Peace,
P.S. I do apologize for not getting back to the thoughts that I was sharing last week when I ran out of time. I thought about writing tonight about them, but had to slight problems. 1) I only remember part of what I was going to share, 2) It is late at night, in fact it is tomorrow, or I guess it is today which is not yesterday when I first decided to post tonight.
