Word from Grace Street: The Mess, The Mudd, The Tangle

January 19, 2011, Christianity (85), Food for the Soul (55)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

In today's Word from Grace Street, Wallace+ reflects on the following comment, made by novelist David Mitchell in an interview

"Mid-life crisis, age, the heart gets more interesting than structure. I've got kids, I've got a wife, we're stuck together for a while. And, suddenly, there's an understanding that this is what life is. It's actually the mess, it's the mud, it's the tangle, it's not the clean, hygienic fireworks. It's the little invisible novels that get written between two people everyday of their lives."

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.
