Priest's Corner for 1/12/2023

As what is custom in this day and age, those who have put up Christmas decorations have long since taken them down. Since the Christian world entered Epiphany only last Friday, the greening of the church, the twinkling lights, red ribbons. and all the glitter that comes with Christmas has come and gone. Stacy and I took down Christmas too. Well, almost. “Yes, Virginia, the tree did come down.” Yes, the ornaments and other decorations are now tucked in a plastic tub in the garage. But “No, Virgin…

Priest Corner for January 5th, 2023

 From Your Priest’s Corner The Holy Feast of Epiphany is here. What is an epiphany? A sudden awareness of something that comes from somewhere or out of nowhere. Yet like in the scripture the 3 wise men seemingly appeared from nowhere. But is that really the case? Why did they come. Sure, they followed the bright star. Sure, they came bearing gifts.
