The 2011 college staff flew this flag;
it appeared in a different picture
from an earlier post.
That post focused on the flag;
this one looks at the flag’s message –
a message for this evening
as we await
tomorrow’s celebration
of the birth of the
Prince of Peace.

With Wild Mountain Thyme in the background, I wrote for a friend:
Peace to you this day,
grace to you this day,
faith to you this day,
courage to you this day,
hope to you this day,
love to you this day,
peace to you this day
and every day.

Order now!
Advent is coming. November 27, 2011 brings the First Sunday in Advent in western churches.
Once again, the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program offers a booklet of collected daily devotions for the Season of Advent. Proclaiming the Good News of God’s Peace contains brief devotions and accompanying prayers that follow the daily lectionary readings. Individuals, households, or congregations may use the devotions to prepare for the coming of the Prince of Peace.
Order copies for yourself, your family, and community of faith. You may also call Presbyterian Distribution Service at (800) 524-2612 to order Item #24358-11-004.
The booklets cost $.40/each.
Note: Eastern Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar and observe 40 days of Advent rather than four weeks, thus Advent begins on November 15.
See you along the Trail.

Micah, did you know –
in order to
love kindness,
do justice,
walk humbly with God,
we have to
face evil unspeakable,
confront horror unfathomable,
carry pain unbearable?
