The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much;
it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

Three: more than two, less than four, trio, threesome, triple, triad, troika, triumvirate, trilogy, triptych, trefoil, trey, triangle, triplicate, triune, three-piece, triplets, three-legged stools, tripods, even three-cornered hats, though they are a bit out of style! Third base is where you never wanted your mother to know you got to with a boy. But perhaps the most problematic is trinity, especially as it refers to a basic doctrine of Christianity. For ages, people have tried to understand and explain the Trinity. Perhaps you are familiar with the story of St. Augustine walking along the beach, pondering the Trinity. He thought he was pretty close to figuring it out when he saw a sight familiar to anyone who’s walked on a beach where children are playing: a child rushing back and forth from the surf to a hole in the sand. “What are you doing, buddy?” asked the future Doctor of the Church. “I am putting the ocean in this hole.” Being unfamiliar with the ways of children, Augustine replied, “You can’t put the ocean in that hole!” The kid replied, “I’ll get the ocean in that hole before you figure out the Trinity.” Boom! [mic drop] And with that the kid disappeared. read full homily |

Today Mark writes about Jesus teaching to a large crowd from a boat near the sea shore. Biblical scholars say that was something Jesus actually did. Mark says Jesus was teaching in parables, and the scholars say that also actually happened. The part of today’s gospel that did not happen is that Jesus did not hide his meaning and later tell his followers in private what he meant. read full homily |

A reader asks:
Where's the Easter Sunday service? Isn't that the main event?
Where's the Easter Sunday service? Isn't that the main event?
Actually, the main event is the Great Vigil on Saturday night. It is a beautiful liturgy and if you've never been, you are in for a treat! The evening is full of the beautiful symbols of fire and water. Everything is dark and then light fills the place. The celebration is new life and great joy. We hope you can come and see for yourself! (If you still would like an Easter morning service, the Brecksville United Church of Christ, our church home, has a service at 10 am.)
