The #Gospel for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 24) is Luke 18: 1-8 which is the story of the widow & the unjust judge.
For me, what stands out in these verses is that not everyone receives justice, certainly not immediately. The widow keeps asking & asking for justice until it is given to her, even by one who does not fear #God. This is often held up as a lesson in #perseverance for #Jesus tells us that, if we have faith in Him, God will grant us justice much quicker than the judge did. Yet these verses end with the question: “when the Son of Man comes, will He find #faith upon the earth?” The implication being humanity will not persist in faith long enough to see justice. This means that even the most faithful among us will not receive justice during their lifetime. How do we live with that? Do we accept that our persistence, our faith, is potentially for naught or do we continue to pray in hopes that one day we will be the widow & there will be faith on earth? #DPB

The #Gospel reading for 14 October 2025 is Matthew 10:16-23. The parable of the sheep among wolves is familiar to most #Christians as inspiration for both perseverance & spreading the Good News of #Jesus our great Redeemer. I’ve heard this passage cited as proof that unpopular people (or people who espouse viewpoints that others disagree with) are on God’s side & doing the work/will of the Divine. Perhaps they are. At least, they may be right up to the point where they meet violence, persecution, anger, & hate in kind.
Once they, or we, start hating & hurting others, we can all be pretty sure we are no longer doing God’s work. Nowhere in this verse are we told to meet violence, be it verbal, legal, or physical, with violence. Quite the opposite, in fact. We are told not to worry about what we should say (v. 19) & “if they persecute you in one village, leave there & go to the next.” (v. 23) #DPB #Green #Episcopal #MorningPrayer #Peace

The #EpiscopalChurch remembers Philip, disciple, evangelist, & deacon on 11 October. So today’s #Gospel reading is Luke 24:13-27 (rather than Matthew). In these passages, the disciples tell a fellow traveler about what has happened to #Jesus from his arrest through crucifixion & the discovery of the empty tomb. They don’t recognize who they are speaking with, even when he describes how Scripture pointed to everything that had occurred.
For me today’s message is that we don’t always realize when God is speaking to us. The Divine rarely shows up wearing a name tag or a t-shirt saying “God” Just because we do not recognize the Divine, doesn’t mean that they are not present & speaking/teaching us. This passage reminds us that the Divine can be anywhere, speaking through anyone. Our challenge is to hear God whenever & wherever God speaks.
How will you hear God today?

The #Gospel reading for today (10 October 2025) is Matthew 9:27-34, &, for me, it demonstrates why I utilize multiple translations of Scripture in my personal studies/devotions. If I had stuck solely to the NSRV, I would completely missed the phrase I find most meaningful today in the #FirstNations version!
Verse 31 tells us what happened after #Jesus healed 2 blind men, admonishing them to say nothing of their healing, instead, “in their excitement, they did not listen…” & spread the news far & wide. It’s easy to read this as a caution against gossip, however, these guys weren’t really gossiping; they were sharing their actual experiences with God. To me, this phrase is a reminder that some of our encounters with God, even the miraculous ones, are personal, intended for us & those present, rather than public consumption. The reason being that what the experience means to us, may not mean the same thing to someone who wasn’t there resulting in the spread of misinformation. #DPB #Green

This (9 October 2025) morning’s #green prayer from A Disciple’s Prayer Book #DPB has me reflecting on the #Gospel of Matthew 9:18-26. A couple things stand out, first is that both healings involve females; & second, that people laughed at #Jesus As a woman, I really want to focus on the first one & the impact a woman’s #faith has on her life. The second, however, is being very insistent, so I’m focusing on that.
The last sentence of verse 24 says those gathered to mourn a girl “scorned & laughed at him [Jesus] because they knew that she was dead.” This passage demonstrates 2 things: the fallibility of human/popular knowledge & the temporary nature of human death after the arrival of Jesus. The 2 are not mutually exclusive. Jesus calls those who follow Him to life, often in ways that our present society mocks & devalues. In doing so, we reveal that we think we know better than God. Here, Jesus proves that we don’t. The question is: are we getting the message?

Good morning! The #Gospel for 8 October 2025 is Matthew 9:9-17. Since I am following the #green #MorningPrayer in A Disciple’s Prayer Book #DPB I am also using the #FirstNations version of the #NewTestament What I’ve discovered is that this version, combined with my #SBLStudyBible (an #NRSVUE version), are expanding my view of the lessons & their application to my daily life.
What stands out today is the difference a word makes. The #Indigenous NT refers to “outcasts” rather than the “sinners” of other versions. Maybe it’s because I just finished the sections on Hinduism in world religions, but I find the word choice telling. Outcast implies people shunned or ignored by society, that is a societal choice. Sinners, otoh, implies individuals who are separated from God by choice & their own actions. Additionally, the First Nations version refers to the Pharisees as “the Separated Ones”. My take-away is that Faith calls us to return/restore community rather than divide us.

Getting a late start today but still doing the #green #MorningPrayer fro #DPB The #Gospel reading for 6 October 2025 is Matthew 8:28-34 This is the story of 2 men possessed by demons, which #Jesus casts out but allows to enter a herd of pigs that promptly run into the water & drown.
At first, it seems like Jesus does a kindness for demons that harms humans (probably not Jewish people, since they were raising swine which are unclean according to Jewish dietary laws) & animals (does uncleanliness mean they are not innocent creatures created by God?). Why would he do that? It’s a question people have wrestled with for years: why does God allow bad things to happen (to good people)?
Upon reflection, these verses seem to indicate that sometimes being kind to our enemies is painful for us. Being merciful in this world can hurt. On a deeper level, if God is that kind & merciful to demons, how much more kindness & mercy will those who follow God in faith receive in God’s presence?

Starting off 5 October 2025 with the #green #MorningPrayer in A Disciple’s Prayer Book #DPB & I have to admit, nothing in today’s #Gospel reading (Matthew 8:18-27) particularly stands out or speaks to me. I suppose now I know how preachers feel when asked to give sermon or homily on a Sunday when they’ve “got nothing”.
It’s easy to forget that all inspiration comes from the Divine, even the smallest sparks (like a social media post or toot). For me, inspiration is a constant; I often have more ideas than I can use. When those ideas dry up, I don’t quite know what to do. Sometimes I can push through by focusing on one aspect of a thing but it’s not my best work. Lately I’ve learned just to put things down, to let them go then come back later. Reading this passage, I wonder if that is how Jesus felt? People crowded around him, wanting, & he had run out of ideas. So he went away & took a nap, although even that was interrupted. I’m not stilling storms, but I found some inspiration.

Switching things up today & doing #NoondayPrayer since I slept through Morning Prayer. For those unfamiliar with Noonday Prayer in the #Episcopal tradition, it tends to be a very quick service (that’s even shorter in A Disciple’s Prayer Book) that brings us back to God at the heart of the working day. For me, it’s a chance to release the cares of the morning & reset my heart & mind.
It’s no coincidence that I’ve said heart twice already as the #Gospel for 2 #October 2025 is Matthew 7:22-29 & what sticks out for me is “On that day, the time when the Creator reveals all hearts…” in verse 22. There’s more, of course, but this phrase calls on me to acknowledge that I don’t always know my own heart (or mind). Sometimes I think I do. If, however, I found myself standing before God today, could I really say with confidence what is truly in my heart? I’m not sure. I know where I want to give my heart, I’m just not convinced I always do so or follow where the Holy/Great Spirit leads. #DPB -

On 29 September we celebrate the feast of St. Michael and All Angels according to the RCL. That means a new set of devotionals (the liturgical color for a #FeastDay is #White ) in A Disciple’s Prayer Book. Today’s lessons/readings (including the #Gospel John 1:47-51) & collect are also specific to the day. I’m feeling this feast day a bit more than usual because I’ve lost so many friends & family this year, so the angels have been busy.
I really like the idea of angels being spirit-messengers, which is how the #FirstNations #NewTestament refers to them. The image of #SpiritMessengers climbing up & down a ladder to heaven & circling the heavenly seat of the Creator & Redeemer resonates strongly with me today. Intercessory prayer is not something I think much about although it feels like today’s message is that I should pay more attention to it. I don’t know much about angels, either. Here is my opportunity to learn more about both. #DPB
Do you believe in angels?

The #Gospel reading for 26 September 2025 is Matthew 6:7-15. These are the verses in which #Jesus gives us the #LordsPrayer (A similar prayer is given in Luke 11:2-4 Even the #Bible has both traditional & contemporary versions!)
The Lord’s Prayer is familiar to most Christians. So familiar that we don’t always think about the words or pray it as intentionally as we should. Lately, I’ve been praying a mashup of both versions, just to keep me focused on what I am doing. I use sin (that which separates us from God) rather than trespass (ethical transgressions) and time of trial (persecution) rather than temptation. Although these are not big changes, they are just enough to throw the cadence of the prayer off when said in community, so I tend to whisper them under my breath so as not to disturb others. As yesterday’s gospel taught, I’m not doing it for show but because I want to be more mindful of how I’m praying. #DPB #Green How do you say the Lord’s Prayer & why do you say it that way?

The #Green #morning #devotional from A Disciples Prayer Book, offers 3 questions for reflecting on today’s #gospel which for 25 September 2025 is #Matthew 6:1-6,16-18.
This passage challenges me because I have difficulty reconciling it with the instruction to let my light shine. The balance I have found is to live my faith openly & truthfully, not just for show. At the same time I feel called to represent my faith in public, particularly right now, because the image/idea so many people have of #Christians is not a good one. Throughout my day I encounter too many people who do not know what the #Episcopal branch of the #Jesus Movement is. The idea of a welcoming, affirming church that strives to live in love, both human & divine, is, too often, new to people. In part, that is because we take these verses too literally. We are too private, to the point that people are shocked when we explain what our church stands for & the faith journey we are each on. #DPB

A Disciple’s Prayer Book (#morning ) includes a response (reflection?) portion after the #gospel reading, which for 24 September 2025, is Matthew 5:38-48.
Although there is much in this passage that is important to live into in today’s world (& especially in the U.S.), the words/phrases which catch my attention this morning is verse 42: “Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.” My #SBLStudyBible puts it this way: “Give to the one who asks of you, & do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.”
In my initial reading, the call to be generous is obvious. Yet upon rereading the passage what strikes me is the significance of asking for help (which is something I, & many people hate to do in life). The “rugged individualism” upon which the American identity in particular, is built sees asking for help as a weakness. Jesus, however, seems to be casting it differently, as an opportunity we give others to do & be more. #DPB

Feeling called to switch up my daily devotions, so I’m opting to use A Disciple’s Prayer Book from the #Indigenous Ministries of the #Episcopal Church. I don’t really have a reason for choosing that, perhaps it’s the time of year/harvest season or the interlude book we’re reading for #EfM (The Four Vision Quests of Jesus by Steven Charleston). To my knowledge I do not have any #NativeAmerican ancestors, although I suppose it’s possible since I’ve never done an ancestry DNA test of any kind. I just, periodically, find myself drawn to #FirstNations ministries and issues (particularly to calling attention to #MMIWG )
I’m starting with #Green since that’s the color for the current liturgical season. Just so I can reference my social media ponderings in the future, I’ll tag them #DPB & the color.

Finally, the inaugural run of `#dpb -p MAKE_JOBS=60` on the sparc64 t4-1. I probably did that wrong, but whatever.
I wonder how many years that's going to be running. :flan_think:
Did the powerstation have to switch on Auxilliary [sic] power like they did for Clark?
