Read, Watch, Listen: August 2020 Edition
The good stuff I’ve been reading, watching and listening to, especially as it relates to the theme of presence.
The Wonder of Hope: The Benefit of Living in Darkness
Hope is born in the shade, when the absence of light might otherwise leave us stunted. Instead, the darkness propels us to seek out bright spots, to find those places, however narrow, where the sunlight can break through.
The Wonder of Paradox: The Power of And to Navigate Extreme Circumstances
It’s not just in pandemics where both/and make more sense than either/or. It’s in all of life. God’s kingdom is filled with the mysterious, confusing, and glorious paradoxes of hope in the midst of suffering, love shown boldly to enemies, and life out of a dead man’s tomb.
Hope in Waiting
We wait and believe along with the faithful heroes in Hebrews 11, even to this day. This is Advent waiting. This is hope.
My Word of the Week: Wither
Its fall, when leaves wither on the vine and our lives begin to wither at the prospect of winter. It only makes sense if we remember Spring will come again.
