Hello friends,
I just wanted to give you an update: my wife Tabitha and I have decided to start our own family blog, focused on food and our home and our everyday experiences of life. This is something we had been talking about doing for a while, and we finally pulled this trigger.
I’m not entirely sure what this means for this space; I may still post here, focusing my more religious stuff here. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what it is I’m trying to get out of this blog, and I’m still not entirely sure.
For now, I’d encourage you to pop over to Everyday Causerie, and subscribe there! Today, I posted a reflection on food and Lent. Here’s a taste:
God’s kingdom looks like bread for the hungry, the homeless housed, the naked covered, the afflicted comforted and healed. Then, says the prophet, “your light shall break forth like dawn!” That is the coming of Easter, a time of resurrection. In Lent, we remember our own impending death, our own mortality and sin, but we also remember that death does not get the last word, that injustice and inhumanity and suffering does not win, but instead the light does, God’s love does! We fast during Lent to remember those who are forced into hunger all year long, and the longing in our bellies for nourishment should also awaken in us a righteous anger towards the powers and structures and ideas that keep people hungry. It should drive us to not merely wait meekly for that dawn, but to realize we have work to do in the meantime.
We have mouths to feed.
