The Hubbell Pew

Maybe what is good about religion is playing that the Kingdom will come, until in the joy of your playing, the hope and the rhythm and comradeship and poignance and mystery of it – you start to see that the playing is itself the first-fruits of the Kingdom’s coming and of God’s presence within us and among us.—Frederick Buechner

Monday in Holy Week

It will be like they have dipped themselves in magic waters. James Earl Jones -- Field of Dreams

Batter up! It is opening day for another major league baseball season. Will the Yankees return to championship form? Will we have an upstart make it to the World Series like Tampa Bay did last year? Will the Cubs finally win it all? Anticipation is in the air. What will happen?Jesus entering Jersuleum was greeted by the masses with enthusiasm and anticipation as well. Will he throw out the Romans and declare himself as King? Will he heal the sick and lame, and return the Jews to previous glory as God's chosen people. What will happen?What does happen is that is what no one could forsee. The world changed forever on that Easter day. If we allow it to change each of us "it will be like (we) have dipped ourselves in magic waters."
