Blessings to you this day...(((Jerry))) et al...

I see we're here "together" again! Hope you've managed to get some sleep at least! (Does your back pain make it difficult to sleep? I can imagine that might be so and I do send you my condolences.)

In any case--I've recently rediscovered a fairly helpful link from a local church website and thought you (and others?) might be interested. This is a commentary and quote on the lectionary readings of the day. Specifically, this is the last Sunday of the church year in liturgical churches---also known as "Christ the King" Sunday. (Can't believe that NEXT Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent! Where DID the year go???!?)

In any case, if interested, here's that link and the beginning comment:

Reflection and Response
Prayer Starter

Today’s readings celebrate Christ, our compassionate King. Ezekiel pictures God as our Shepherd, who rescues and watches over us. In both his letter to the Corinthians (BCP) and his letter to the Ephesians (RCL), Paul pictures Christ reigning triumphantly over creation, over his enemies, over the Church and even over death. Jesus presents a vision of final judgement, in which the Son of Man welcomes into God’s kingdom those who have treated others with compassion and mercy.

Grace and peace to you and yours this day---and all here!

As always, "more as able!" Not really sure WHAT today will bring, though my husband and I do plan to get out to church this a.m. and hope to go to an organ recital by the director/organist of "our" E. church in the afternoon. I HOPE...!!! It's HARD to be "out of synch" with the world...and I've again not slept much. ("Bother," said Pooh!!!")

Siiiiiiiiiiigh!

Yours in Christ--
