12:7 Heed: Cover and Protect

So, we heed the warning, or heed the call.

We heed the call to warn.

AI Overview: The Proto-Indo-European root word hēd meant cover or protect. In the later Germanic languages the meaning of heed changed to mark, observe, or pay attention.

On Wednesday evenings at 4:00 this winter, we are called to march back and forth across the Lake-Marshall bridge in St. Paul, 

carrying signs imploring rush-hour drivers to heed the warning signs of a fascist authoritarian regime:

MANIPULATE HISTORY
IGNORE DUE PROCESS
ATTACK EDUCATION
MILITARY USED ON CIVILIANS
ANTI-DIVERSITY -SCIENCE -EDUCATION
FIREHOSE OF FALSEHOOD
CENSURE AND FIRE CRITICS
PARTY LOYALTY ABOVE ALL ELSE

Black hoods cover our heads, but our faces are unmasked.

We march spaced apart, trying to carry the signs so that the drivers can easily read them.

We want the readers to mark, pay attention, and to understand

that we are all in danger

and must be ready to cover and protect each other.

We must lovingly heed one another!

11-30 Again

So, it's Advent again! Yo vengo. Tu vienes. El/Ella/Usted venie. Nosotros/Nosotras venimos. Vosotros/Vosotras venis. Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes vienen. As usual, the males come first. So, come along now! But it's not the Second Coming yet--or is it? At seventy-four, I doubt if I'd have the stamina. My loom has few warp threads left. Anyway, what's the gender of the Christ [Who?] comes? Come again? I'd rather be a pestle than a mortar, praise the Lord!

12-3 Quietness: The Comforter Has Come

Blessed Quietness , Manie Payne Ferguson, 1897 1 Chronicles 22:9-10 Joys are flowing like a river since the Comforter has come, who abides with us forever, makes the trusting heart a home. I just need to turn off my thoughts for my heart to be trusting, to feel the Comforter inside me. And especially turn off the news and stop looking at Facebook! David's reign was fraught with enemies so that he could not build a house in God's name because of all the blood he'd shed. But God spoke to him and said: Behold, a child shall be born to thee, who shall bring thee sheqet -- quietness and tranquility-- rest from all enemies round about: for their name shall be Solomon (Peace, Shalom), and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in their days. People ranting about ICE attacking Somali immigrants in Minneapolis-- many comments in favor. Shekket! Shut up!  Du, Papageno, schweige still! ( Dare I remember?-- Quiet, piggy!) OK, I'm meditating now. Blessed quietness, holy quietness...
