Christmas Eve is coming

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Ever since taking my position as director of worship and the arts, Christmas Eve has meant "month-long frenzied extravaganza."

Every year our church puts on a large scale community worship service on Christmas Eve.

That means that we rehearse a handful of times the week before Christmas.

This year, 3 major winter storms have conveniently touched down same day as our practices (Friday and Sunday).

Tonight is our last practice and you guessed it.

Environment Canada has posted a "Winter Storm Watch" just in time for our final rehearsal.

God, are you trying to tell me something?

Jason, I'm pretty impressed. You question the legitimacy of the methods of the job that you're required to "perform." Not only that, but you don't assume your questions are correct either, and so you continue in that place of struggle. None of that cowardly polarization of either reject the method entirely or stifling your questions.

That alone is an excellent example of the legitimacy of that "remain in the tension" philosophy that I hear so much about, but see less often.

Experiences of God come not only through the big, bright and bold, but also in the simple and quiet, like God appearing to Elijah as a still small voice, rather than through fire, wind and storm.
