This past Sunday many of us heard Mary's subversive song of joy. Here is my reflection on
Luke 1:29-55 preached at Bright Star UMC.

Today we celebrate the fourth and final Sunday of Advent. Our time of preparation and expectation is drawing to a close as we prepare to welcome the Christ into the world. Over the last few Sundays, we have heard from the prophets and from the Gospels about the coming of Christ into the world.
But we aren’t quite there yet.
We are still watching and waiting.
We are still hoping.
Just as the Israelites in the time of the prophets, we are looking for our salvation.
