I have a pretty fantastic job. Editing on a rainy day with coffee in hand is tough to beat.

Our reading for the fourth week of Advent comes from Fleming Rutledge and Laura Bardolph Hubers’s new book, "Means of Grace: A Year of Weekly Devotions." #advent #devotion

"The sacrifice of Jesus our Lord is this: He has gone into the day of judgment utterly alone, separated from the Father, taking the sentence of condemnation upon himself, bearing it away from us. This is the gospel." -Fleming Rutledge christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/decemb…

Pastors with literary New Year's resolutions, this one's for you. #NewYear #resolutions #read #readmore

A society that tolerates the ongoing slaughter of children in the name of gun rights is not a free society but an idolatrous one.

In the 50s and 60s, evangelical leaders like Billy Graham said the same thing about racism: conversion, they said, would fix the “race problem.” Not laws. The only issue? Far and away the most intractably racist areas were those with the most Christians.

This little book is a year old today! Fleming Rutledge

The wonderful Collect for Advent 1 used to be said on Advent 2,3, and 4 as well. It made a powerful impression on me as a young Episcopalian. It's been part of my memory bank ever since. This is the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Note Romans 13 from which the prayer is derived.

This is very belated, now that we’re many weeks into the new liturgical year. But if anyone is looking for weekly devotions for the year, I can’t recommend Fleming Rutledge highly enough. (And, okay yes, I’m a little biased.)

I honestly can’t wait for y’all to read this one.

How grateful can a writer be? And thanks, Laura Bardolph--my editor who performed a laborious task.
