We Make Ourselves Ready (Advent 3)
The Rev. Candy Snively reflects on Luke 3:7-18 and Philippians 4:4-7: “So anyone feeling stressed these days? ‘Tis the season of total busyness when there are just not enough hours in your day to get everything accomplished, and there’s nothing to put you in the Christmas spirit quite like a good lecture from John the Baptist: ‘You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?’ Somehow I don’t think you’d find that sentiment on a Hallmark card. No where does the difference between John the Baptist and Jesus stand out so clearly.”
