Two Sermons: "Flying Monkeys and Over the Rainbow" and "Seeing Voices"
This time I actually have a decent excuse for the lack of updates: my hard drive crashed last week and Carey's computer has also been giving me some lip, so posting sermons has been kind of a low priority in the midst of the crashing and the backtalk. And, though I have a hard copy of it, the electronic copy of my Christmas Eve homily went down to the grave with my hard drive, so I'll just skip that one for now. For those of you itching to have a complete collection of my sermons, I apologize. You'll just have to wait for them to be published, which probably won't be for a long, long time.

Monumental Humility
Reading: 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16; Luke 1:26-38
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the focus of our sermon this week, and it's hard to talk about Mary without mentioning her example of living humbly before God. Christmas is a time when we are face to face with eternal questions, assuming we're strong enough to listen to them. Will we respond as well as Mary did?

Anticipation
Reading: Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11; John 1:6-8, 19-28
We're getting closer to Christmas and the end of Advent, of course, and we're continuing to read the prophecies of Isaiah as we wait on our celebrations of Christ. This week we reminded ourselves of what exactly we are anticipating throughout Advent.

"Dawn Treader" watercolor
In keeping with a previous post, I recently completed a watercolor based (somewhat loosely) on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
The Dawn Treader
I can't say I'm completely satisfied with it, but the image above was my sixth attempt at getting it right, so at this point I'm ready to move on to something else.
