Yeast. CC by www.yourbestdigs.com/reviews/best-bread-machine/ 2.0 On the 8th Sunday after Pentecost in Year A the lectionary Gospel is our third chunk of Matthew 13 — Parables of the Kingdom. Actually it’s two chunks again: Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52. The first little piece is part of what got left out in the middle of last week’s reading. […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, 7th Sunday After Pentecost, Proper 11 (16) — Matthew 13:24-30 36-43
For the 7th Sunday after Pentecost in Year A, the Revised Common Lectionary assigns two portions of Matthew 13. We read Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 because these are two halves of the same story.

Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, 6th Sunday After Pentecost, Proper 10 (15) — Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
In Year A, the Revised Common Lectionary skips Matthew 12 entirely, then takes a three week journey through Matthew 13. This Sunday is the first of those three, giving us Matthew 13:1-9 18-23. It’s one of my favorite parables: The parable of the sower. Or the parable of the soils. You decide. Matthew 13:1-9 18-23 […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, 5th Sunday After Pentecost, Proper 9 (14) — Matthew 11:19-16, 25-30
For the last three weeks the Revised Common Lectionary had us moving systematically through Matthew chapter 10. This week we hop and skip through Matthew 11. The text is Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30, including the lovely words about Jesus yoke being easy and his burden being light — which must have sounded good to anyone who […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, 4th Sunday After Pentecost, Proper 8 (13) — Matthew 10:40-42
On the 4th Sunday after Pentecost, in Year A of the lectionary, we finish our three-week journey through Matthew 10. It started out with Jesus preparing his disciples for a mission trip. His lessons morphed into warnings of much later persecutions. And now we get this tiny reading which is ostensibly the conclusion of the […]
