		<description><![CDATA[Ex 20:1-17 is one account of the commandments which Yahweh (the LORD), the tribal god of Israel, gave to Moses. Not that the true God was ever just a tribal god. God is beyond all human conceptualization and our consciousness of God has developed over time. Patriarchy, male domination, emerged with the advent of agriculture [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Gen 22: 1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18) Abraham heard Godâ€™s call and was willing to sacrifice Isaac; however, God intervened once God saw Abrahamâ€™s obedience. This is a fireside story about Abrahamâ€™s great faith. It is also a story telling the Israelites not to engage in child sacrifice like some of their neighbors. We know in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EstC 12: 14-16, 23-25 Esther is in mortal anguish. She pleads for deliverance from the powers and principalities with expectant prayer. She is an orphan and God looks kindly upon orphans because they have no one to save them. God will turn her mourning and our mourning into joy. Our help is always in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word of God is a two-edged sword. When god speaks and utters the word, it goes forth and brings about what God wills. God waters us with the word. God nurtures us with the word. Godâ€™s ultimate word to us is the Word made flesh. Jesus speaks to us of the mercy, justice and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Children in Somotillo, Nicaragua Ched Myers really breaks this passage (Mk 9:14-29) open. Ultimately, it is a story of faith/doubt and unbelief. The disciples doubt their power. The father doubts their power. He is desperate for relief for his son. Jesus here is casting out the demon of unbelief which beset disciples then and now.

On the other side of the Mount of Olives (now separated by the WALL) is the city of Bethany. Jesus wept in Bethany over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God calls Abraham to leave families, friends and country. God will lead him to a different place. Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain. He takes them to a different place as he is transfigured before them. Life is a journey. Peter has a different idea. Let us build tents here and stay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The readings for the first Wednesday in Lent focus on Jonah. I have The Inclusive Bible which comes in 4 volumes. I finally found the book of Jonah in the Prophets volume. And rightly so. Jonah was prophet. He initially tried to shirk his calling and ended up in the belly of the whale. He [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading James H. Coneâ€™s book, God of the Oppressed, has stirred some reflections. Coneâ€™s basic thesis is that we cannot talk about God independent of our own history and context both past and present. He also says that God is bigger than our talk about God. As Jesse Manibusan says in one song, â€œGod is [...]]]></description>
