+John of the Cross+, renewer of the church, died 1591
Peter sings,
“New colors dancing on evergreen branches
You feel a change in the wind
Brings new light to your eyes once again”

A recent article in the NY Times indicates that the amount of stars has been amazingly underestimated. “Scientists said Wednesday that the number of stars in the universe had been seriously undercounted, and they estimated that there could be three times as many stars out there as had been thought. This undercounting, of cool, dim dwarf stars in certain galaxies, could throw a monkey wrench into astronomers’ understanding of how galaxies formed and grew over the eons. “
In other words “OOPS!” I would say it is time for a “righteous recalculation.”
As Peter sings,
“New colors dancing on evergreen branches
You feel a change in the wind
Brings new light to your eyes once again”
In the days of Advent as we dance our way into the story of Christmas it is good to have a righteous recalculation. I mean we need to step back and analyze our asset allocations, for as Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” (Matthew 6:21).
It’s the season of stars and promises.
Today is a day to take inventory of the accounts and balances that we have kept in our hearts and souls over time. It’s an opportunity to clean the slate, to have a righteous recalculation, to “forgive in the way we have been forgiven.”
Joyfully,
rtg
