What happens when the life veneer you show the world says "Ned Flanders," but the reality underneath screams "Homer Simpson?" What does it mean to say we are blessed? What does it look like to be blessed? In a world that tells us what we have to do and be to prove we are blessed and worthy, what happens when you don't measure up. Are you suddenly less than blessed? Epiphany 6 - Readings: Jeremiah 17:5-10, Psalm 1, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Luke 6:17-26.

Readings: Nehemiah 8:1-3,5-6,8-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a; Psalm 19, and; Luke 4:14-21. There are times when what we expect and what culture conditions us to expect clouds our vision to God's love in the world. What does it mean to say we are a part of the body of Christ? Does this include everyone, or just those like us? Note: Inspired in concept by the work of Ilio Delia and Ed Bacon.
