She has nothing to lose.
He knows all about it,
but offers her eternal life.
…
So much about Jesus is revealed
in this 'he said, she said' by the well,
but we do not even learn her name.

when the woman saw that the tree was a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked

Jesus refused the devil, relied on the Spirit, referenced God’s word, and ran the course set out for him.

Bearing Witness to Christ's Glory - #sermon for #TransfigurationSunday (2 Peter 1:16-21) - God claims Jesus as beloved Son, serves as lamp in the darkness. -- Preached at Tyrone Community Presbyterian Church. www.bobcornwall.com/2026/02/bear... #bgbg2 #lectionary #theosky
from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!" When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid."

"Share your food with everyone
who is hungry, share your home
with the poor & the homeless.
Give clothes to those in need,
don't turn away your relatives."
~ Isaiah 58: 7 (CEV) #Lectionary
"I'll tell you what it really means
to worship the LORD.
Remove the chains of prisoners
who are bound unjustly.
Free those who are abused!"

Screenshot of Pope Leo XIV's twitter: "Salt that has lost its flavour “is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot” (Mt 5:13). So many people feel worthless or broken. It is as if their light has been hidden. It is painful to lose flavour and give up joy; yet it is possible to have this wound in our heart. Jesus, however, proclaims that God will never throw us away; our Father cares for our names and our uniqueness. Every wound, even the deepest, will be healed by welcoming the word of the Beatitudes and setting ourselves back on the path of the Gospel. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 5:13-16)" ~ 2/8/26
“This poem is a long, insistent, concrete advocacy address to a community in deep conflict. The poet urges a strong vision of the future of the community that is ethically demanding, that requires policies and actions of a neighborly kind"

"I saw clearly the remarkable depth of understanding that Jesus shows about how fundamentally we human beings are governed and dominated, even bullied, by our anxieties."

Today I discovered, ON STREAM, that I had messed up the #lectionary for last week's stream, and had, in fact, set up to preach for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, which is TODAY.
So, that was fun! Here's my video of preparing for a sermon I didn't mean to!
