We had a big storm here last Sunday (Dec 16). One morning, early in the week, I noticed an interesting sunrise trying to burn itself an opening in the grey sky. I thought, “That would be a great photo.” By the time I finished shovelling the deck, the clouds had closed over [...]

Below is the sermon I preached today on the Matthew 3:1-12 lectionary text.
