I'm actually taking this Transfiguration Sunday off, in order to participate in the City of Lakes Loppet on Sunday. For me it's an annual glimpse of the kingdom, being able to SKI from the suburbs into Uptown! This year we might have a kid skiing with us instead of being hauled behind us. . .another milestone.
Those of you looking for a preaching image or two, I'll refer you back to my essay from last year at Journey with Jesus. Matthew's account is a little different, yes, but the larger image of the lights going on still holds true.
At ECLC, we're going to have a surprise transfiguration of a different kind. You'll just have to show up to see what it is.
