All growth requires the practice of established disciplines (e.g., exercise and contemplation) and the reversal of conventional wisdom (e.g., there must be winners and losers; people must be prodded by leaders to get anything done). This is a paradox. 1/4

These Masters mile times could be read as age-defying achievements. Or they are the gifts of age: self-awareness, discipline, fortitude, resilience, and the energy of history applied in the moment. usatf.org/news/2023/2023-usa…

It’s #Pentecost Sunday in the Christian tradition. The Spirit may yet move in empty sacred spaces. Somebody open the door. Somebody step outside. Someone invite neighbors inside with the genuine invitation: Make of this space what you will for the healing of the community. 1/2

And then the Spirit may move, as prophesied of old: the Spirit poured out on everyone, young and old, inside and outside, strangers made friends, friends made neighbors, neighbors who each bring some gift of the Spirit for the common good.

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: “Restore us” is the people’s plea (Ps 80). “God with us” is the reply — not a panacea but a presence, not a solution but a story, an abiding story. “And they shall name him Immanuel” (Mt 1:23).

Without the embrace of the paradox, we move through each day willy-nilly, having abdicated our power of direction by neglecting what we should do and falling into line with what we know, either consciously or unconsciously, is not true. 3/4

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: These are healthy directions. Work for the well-being of the place where you live (Jer 29:7). Make joyful noise, especially when it makes no sense given your circumstances (Ps 66:1). Trust your longing. Rise and go your way (Luke 17:19).

For the last-minute #lectionary preacher: The religious leader is right that six days are for work (Lk 13:14) — the world needs work (Is 58:12) — but wrong about ceasing on the Sabbath, for this day is made holy as the self finds work’s end and beginning in serving others.

“(E)very step along the way something profoundly real was happening. It was very concrete, very human, very much of this world, but I kept sensing too that somewhere in the thick of it the kingdom itself was glimmering through.” — Frederick Buechner christiancentury.org/article…

For the last-minute preacher: Today’s #lectionary texts illustrate the existential dilemma: the burden of choice, even amid miracle. No belief, moral principle, or political position frees one from choosing.
