Night and Day

Energy Transformation: taking all of the negative energy directed toward you and channeling it into something positive. Think surfing.

Lateral Drop: a wrestling move where you take the momentum of your opponent and "go with it," switching places with him on the way down to the mat. I can demonstrate on Sunday if you would like to see it. =)

In today's reading, after the climax of Haman tasting his own medicine, the tone changes dramatically. From weeping and gnashing of teeth to..."all sunshine and laughter: the Jews celebrated, they were honored. It was that way all over the country, in every province, every city when the king's bulletin was posted: the Jews took to the streets in celebration, cheering, and feasting. Not only that, but many non-Jews became Jews—now it was dangerous not to be a Jew!"

Fasting to feasting. Sin to forgiveness. Our lives are also marked by these dramatic changes.

We have been redeemed! Let's celebrate. Please join us for worship on Sunday at either 10 am in the garden with Sanctuary Lutheran, Marshfield or at 10:45 am at Good Shepherd in Westborough (the worship & music fieldtrip leaves Faith at 9:30 am). I'd also love to have dozens of adults join me for Bible study (meet in the sanctuary for our Sunday School opening at 9 am).
