Today’s Reading: 1:67-2:21

The juxtaposition of the mountaintop experience and the grind and suffering and routine of everyday life–spirit and body, the kind of absurdity we live in, functioning in physical reality with the ever present God of the universe by our side.

First the skies are filled with angels and the glory of God around the shepherds. They go tell Mary and Joseph and maybe some others. Then Mary takes Jesus in for a circumcision.

We live this too. I guess the trick is to not judge it. To allow the glory of God to fill us and also to chop wood carry water.
