Good News from Mexico: I talked with Karina Saturday night and she says she has set up her little pharmacy in Cuernavaca and it is going well. Unfortunately, a couple of days ago she fell in the street and broke her polio brace. Her mother, Maria Luisa, whose cancer seems to be in remission, has worked the pharmacy while Karina stayed home to recuperate. Monday she hopes to return to work. Our seed money seems to be bearing fruit.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Sometimes readings in Advent focus mainly on repentance and on waiting for the Savior and Messiah to redeem us from our sins.  Yet, the Jewish people of the Hebrew Scriptures and the early Christians had much broader expectations.  The Savior is the one who comforts and heals us, rescues and unbinds us, enlightens us and lifts us up as well as wipes away our sins.  The earthly life of Jesus was filled with his healing and compassionate acts; his treating outcasts and women with inclusivity, dignity and love; his breaking down cultural, religious and social walls that separate people; and his not only forgiving sinners, but also eating with them.   This is what Jesus wants to do for us.  Advent is a time of becoming more whole, a time of becoming all we want to be and all God wants us to be.

 

 

 

Rosemary reading her Blessing of The Week
 

 

 

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season.  Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth. The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light?  What's not OK in me?  What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me?  Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice?  To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Dearest Community Members,

Rosemary, even Aviana, & I have really, really so missed all of you.   We hope and pray that you are all healthy and safe.

Should you need anything from the stores and cannot or feel hesitant about going out, please let me & Rosemary know.  People from the community have already volunteered to shop for any of you.  

 

We will keep you posted about next Sunday.   Live stream the celebration (Mike)?  Let John present his Matthew studies?

 

Thanks to all you members of the board who unanimously voted to take this Sunday off, even though I was looking for a loop hole. 

 

Here is why we go to Oaxaca.  The view outside our second floor window.  A paradise of tropical flowers.  

 

Happy 11th Anniversary, Fred and Martha
