I finally remembered to add something to my blog. I guess being on sabbatical caused me to totally forget about it. Here we are in Advent once again. My favorite season of the liturgical year. I used to love the services we held in seminary on those dark evenings, when we would put out extra candles to create a more meditative space in the sanctuary. I really get the need to go within (hibernate) in the dark depths of our souls, in order to connect with the light that is within us. Quite the paradox I know. But once you discover the Light within you have found your real treasure. You can't not see things clearly now. Perhaps it is my Celtic roots showing at this time of year around Solstice time. Maybe I am predisposed genetically, but I always look forward to playing my favorite spiritual and Celtic music at this time of year, to get me into the mood of contemplation and going deep into the silence and the Light within me. I hope you take the time to do so also this year. Remember 2020 is just around the corner and 20 20 represents perfect sight. We need it right now for ourselves and our world. Take the time out to connect within to make sure you are seeing things aright.
Enjoy the season and holidays.
Rev. Jerry
