Yr C ~ Epiphany 3 ~ 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a This scripture passage is famous for the extended metaphor Paul spins about the foot not being a hand, and the ear not being an eye. It’s really memorable, and it lays…
NOTICINGS… January 19, 2022 I know, I know. It’s a month early. But I figured I’d beat the rush and go ahead and get the February blahs started now! There’s nothing wrong, per se. Life is actually pretty darn good.…
Year C ~ Epiphany 2 ~ 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 “What I want to talk about now is the various ways God’s Spirit gets worked into our lives.” That’s how The Message Bible translates the first verse of 1 Corinthians 12,…
