What's New with Wallace & St. Paul's

Lines Worth Memorizing and Meditating Upon

February 09, 2010

Garrison KeillorPosted by Wallace+

As far as I am concerned, Garrison Keillor is one those voices out there, in the wild blue yonder, most worth listening to.  I recommend, in particular, two recent podcasts of his "News from Lake Wobegone," namely the ones for 11/21/09 and 1/16/10.

Keillor is, if you don't already happen to know, a story teller par excellance.  You'll find in these two pieces the wit he is known for, as well as a human depth and warmth; and a spirituality as rich and compelling as any sermon I have ever heard.  The closing lines, in both instances, are worth memorizing and meditating upon.

May God bless Garrison Keillor, and may God bless you.

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
