It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Links, Reflection on Ephesians 1:3-11

God chose us,

God forgives us.

And God let us in on the plan--to be gathered together, for everything on earth gathered up.

We have been adopted through Jesus Christ.
God's wisdom is set forth in Jesus Christ.
In Christ, we have obtained an inheritance.

We who were the first to set our hope on Christ live for the praise of his glory.

These promises remind us that we are not alone. And they remind us that we should think of alone in two ways.
  • We are not alone because God is and has always been and always will be with us.
  • We can't go it alone because God intends for us to be a people, to be bound together in love and responsibility.


Lectio Divina: Psalm 147:12-20.
