		<description><![CDATA[The Tanzanian Hymn Listen God is Calling connects God’s story heard in today’s readings with our story as baptized children of God. It meets us in the chaos and crazed pace of our lives. It reminds us to listen because God is calling. It invites us to live more connected to God.  Listen, listen, God [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=981&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This final Sunday in Advent is often the day many worshipping communities replace preaching with a pageant of the coming birth of Jesus. In doing so, we miss the magnificence of God working through Mary. We reduce Mary’s role to that of a cute young girl holding a baby doll. We rush to opening the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=977&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite classic cartoons is Popeye the Sailor Man. Many sociologists and culture scholars consider Popeye a precursor to the many super heroes of paper comic books, radio, television, and action movies. One of his catchphrases is &#8220;I yam what I yam, and that&#8217;s all what I yam,&#8221; which is a bold and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=947&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The story, the good news, the most important thing… is that while our world is always changing, temperamental, and unpredictable, God's word, God’s promise, God’s presence is always solid, stable, sure.
•The story this Advent is unchanging, permanent and predictable
•The one we wait for is Jesus, the Word, the bringer of comfort and love
•The brightening days of Advent call us to wait and to listen

In the words of the Tanzanian song: Listen, listen, God is calling, through the Word inviting, offering forgiveness, comfort and joy!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=916&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We want to occupy ourselves, our old ways, our selfish “we’ve always done it this way” way of life. But God sends the Holy Spirit to reform and reconcile us and all systems of creation to God’s self. Thankfully, God occupies all of creation…God is occupying Wall Street, Main Street and your street. God is occupying you, from the breath of life, to the invisible tattoo traced on your foreheads when you were baptized, to the bread and wine, body and blood that we will soon share, taking the body of Christ, becoming the body of Christ, occupied and reformed by God to love and be God in and for the world. God is occupying our messy lives to give us a clean slate and new life each day.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=907&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God invites us into stories to show us, to teach us, to invite us to live full and fair, joyful and just, and lavish and love-filled kingdom lives. We miss the point, we think we have to wait to die to experience the kingdom, that there is no heaven on earth, that life sucks and then you die. And you know what… you are right.
~ We have to die to our “it’s not fair” living.
~ We have to die to our focus on what’s fair and just from our perspective.
~ We have to die to limiting our love and expecting God to do the same.

		<description><![CDATA[Thankfully, we live in a state of forgiven-ness. A state created by our loving creator who after pursuing God’s people for generations, chose forgiveness over punishment, love over hate, and goodness over evil more than 2,000 years ago. After we ignored the prophets and even our pursuing God,  God sent love in human form, forgiveness in the form of a Messiah, a king to lead the people not into battle, or temptation, but to deliver us from evil.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vicarbill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6705485&amp;post=897&amp;subd=vicarbill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
