I preached a sermon a few weeks ago where I got to think a bit about the theologian Jason Isbell. The lectionary reading was from the Letter of James and talked about wisdom. Jason Isbell's "Cast Iron Skillet" explores the power of truisms as wisdom, which sometimes block us from wisdom.I preached a sermon a few weeks ago where I got to think a bit about the theologian Jason Isbell.

St. Paul's ripping yarn continues and in today's #lectionary#stainedglass is another panel from the window in St. Paul's church, Bedford which featured a few days ago.

In front of them a sailor throws a line overboard. Behind them several other sailors are in states of agitation. The ships sail is in tatters overhead and in the background are huge waves and a dark sky.

I write a response to the Lectionary most weeks and I'm starting to think ahead to the new year Mostly I read the RCL but in 2022 I did Rev. Wil Gafney's A Women’s Lectionary For The Whole Church. I might do that again, but I'm considering other options. Anyone know of interesting possibilities? ⚓
