Henry Melchior Muhlenburg, Lutheran Pastor in North America, 1787
Today's Readings for the Daily Office (Book of Common Prayer, p. 986)
Psalms 140, 142 (morning) // 141, 143:1-11(12) (evening)
2 Kings 23:36 - 24:17
1 Corinthians 12:12-26
Matthew 9:27-34
I don't have time to write a Morning Reflection today. Here are the readings for the Daily Office.
Significant readings today -- the beginning of the Babylonian exile; Paul's famous passage about our relationship as members of the body; and Jesus' healings still do not fit the religious expectations of the authorities, so they impute his work to be demonic.

Three strong women peace leaders will share the Nobel Peace prize. Good news for all of us to honor the peace makers!
Peace and light,
Janet
Obama got that too, Not much peace from him. Civil unrest, wars around the globe, political unrest. Some uniter you got there.
Yes, the Nobel awards do raise up some wonderful women. Delighted.
I thought the Nobel award given to Obama was a bit odd. He had accomplished so little. It seemed that the award was primarily symbolic -- Obama as the first black president; son of an African father raised by a single mother; and, so different it seemed from George Bush, who was a symbol for unreasoned aggression. I think the world breathed such a sigh of relief when Obama replaced Bush that the Nobel committee wanted to acknowledge that some way.
