Taking a break from sermon writing to stuff food in my face. Then back to the cross and power dynamics.
This is my essay for the week. It's about the gospel passage from the lectionary. Luke 13.10-17. It's the story of the woman healed on the Sabbath, and how the synagogue leader wanted respectability. There's something in there for us. I tried to dig it out. open.substack.com/pub/aaronjsm...
Three of my favorite books. These books aren't easy reads. They demand from you. They stretch you. They read you. This is my kind of literature. I hope I can someday write that reads others. What are some of your favorite books, ones you return to, ones that read you?
Here's a poem for you. I hope you like it. open.substack.com/pub/theclutt...
