Batman's Column

May 22, 2022

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! Has u seen my earz? Dey r big and soft and fluffy. Some hoomanz say dat dey iz da bestest part o me. However, dere iz a problem. Sometimez dey don’t work. My daddo will call me. My Unca Dave will call me. Da rectory staff will call me. But I dere voicez don’t seemz 2 penetrate da fluffiness (But really I dontz want 2 listen. I wantz 2 do da stuff I likz)! In 2dayz Gosepl, Jesus sayz 2 His disciples that we haz 2 keep His word. If we do, if we listen, den God will dwell in us. It iz da only way dat we can hav de Advocate, da Holy Spirit b a part o our livz. But da BIGGEST part iz dat we haz 2 listen! We can’t let da “fluffiness” get in da way. If we only doez wut we wantz, den God can’t work in us. If we shut Him out, dere will b no room 4 Him 2 dwell. So let da goal o dis week b 2 improve our listening skillz. Let us focus more on da word o God den da our words. And don’t 4get 2 tell me how nice my earz r! 

God Bless (and u can’t beat fluffy)!

God of light & life, give us hope as we wait for your coming again. When we are tempted to be grateful to have found you while others are lost, send us out into the darkness in search of those who need you most. Amen The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of the moment Frederick Buechner This season and always may I stand in awe & wonder of the Messiah who came to save the world. The good news of great joy changed the course of every silent night to come Alicia Bruxvoort Reframe Advent from a season of activity to a season of adoration & anticipation Advent is the language of Heaven… hope, love, joy, and peace. And Jesus’ life spoke this language. Karina Allen
