One challenge I face in writing this blog is that my morning meditation sometimes gets consumed by thoughts of "What shall I write today?"
I see that, on the first Saturday of Advent, there is a clear response to this in Luke, chapter 21, verses 14-15:
Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom.
In order to spend some time honoring questions rather than answers, I have decided that for the next 4 weeks I will take on the daily readings for Advent, selecting a verse for each day and pairing a photo with it. I hope to keep my own observations to a minimum, so that the blog may take its shape from the readings for the season.
So today I begin with the readings for Sunday, the First Day of Advent, from the Daily Office Year One in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.
The Morning Psalms for today are 146 and 147.
The Evening Psalms are 111, 112, and 113.
The Old Testament Lesson Is Isaiah 1:1-9
The Epistle is 2 Peter 3:1-10
The Gospel is Matthew 25: 1-13
