ARTS AND CULTURE (33)
  1. Left to ourselves, we are like Adam and Eve; we sew together fig leaves of self-righteousness and hunker down behind trees of flimsy excuses to hide in vain from a judgment we deserve.
  2. As God is prone to do, He sometimes shows us who He is through people whom we would never think of as teachers, much less imitators of God.
  3. Over time, any inclination the cupbearer might have to speak a good word to Pharaoh on Joseph’s behalf will seem less and less of a moral necessity.
  4. I pray Thy name be hallowed, Lord, But want my name to be adored.
  5. I was asked to write one on Hebrews 4:14-16, to be read on Thursday, February 20. Among the finds that Luke and I discovered this weekend was that meditation.
  6. I hoped like mad they’d spit in my face and laugh me all the way out of town. I wouldn’t have even cared if a mob of them had beat me to death in a back alley. But heavens no, I couldn’t be that lucky.
  7. The prophets had foretold, His coming Incarnation; The Word would make our flesh, His only habitation.
  8. In Mary’s womb, Christ and His Church were wed; United as one Body and one Head.
  9. Some men work like a horse for they’re greedy as a pig Some are drunk as a skunk for many beers they swig.
