•••Heavenly Irony It was with no small measure of delighted chagrin that I found the appointed Epistle reading for today, the Third Sunday after Epiphany (series B), to be full of curiously, ironically applicable substance. Yes, I did mention Selma Truck in my sermons this morning. How could I not, when the passage at hand read as follows: "What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away." [1 Corinthians 7:29-31] Who ever said God doesn't have a sense of humor?   10:37:32 PM   googleit 135     itemlink->
