Monday, Advent Two - Anxiety & Freedom

Written By Brian Suntken

“Jesus interrupts the fearmongers and says to his disciples, “Do not be anxious. Do not fear.” Jesus invites his listeners into another zone, not of magic or of superstition or of supernaturalism, but into the evangelical reality that the world will hold. It will not fall apart. As a result, we can get our minds off ourselves and live our lives in glad obedience that is rooted in gratitude.”

Walter Brueggemann, A Gospel of Hope, page 28.

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
