Advent - second week of, 2006, Thursday

Psalm 145:1-4, 8-13
Isaih 41:13-20
Matthew 11:7-15

Well, Second Isaiah gets a little crazy today. No more of this "Comfort, comfort" business. All of a sudden Jacob is a worm; Israel, an insect!

And what's more, they are to be made into "a threshing-sledge / sharp, new, and having teeth."

Does a worm have teeth? What insects have teeth? (Incidentally, these teeth can bring down mountains and reduce hills to rubble). What imagery for Advent!

God's greatness us unsearchable, the psalm reminds us.

Let anyone with ears listen, Jesus implores.

The author of this website is an organist whom the New York Times calls "repeatedly, insisting that he pay for his subscription". He likes to read parking meters, music, Texas Monthly and weather forecasts in Celcius, particularly whilst wearing cassock and surplice. He serves lasagna, overhand, as an example to many and on ecclesiastical juries. He takes photos, lots of dinner mints, and a little bit of time to get to know.
