John called the miracle a “sign”, Jesus’ first sign…but I wonder what Mary thought…Mary, the attentive sensitive one…Mary, who went in haste to visit Elizabeth after the Annunciation…Mary, the guest at the wedding, who noticed the wine running short.  Were the women talking when, perhaps they wanted their goblets filled and the embarrassed waiter told them there was none left?  The men at the wedding reception may have been enjoying their “cups running over,”  ..read more

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity …in the midst of it all… Today the church celebrates the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. We have many images presented to us to help us understand the Trinity. Among them are the three-leaf clover and the triangle. There was a novice in my group who told us on this feast in 1964 that she had figured out the Trinity! Wow! I for one don’t think the mystery has to be figured out…rather the mystery has to be lived into! And with any living thing there is movement and activity. One picture of the Trinity that has developed in my mind through reading Elizabeth Johnso ..read more

Wednesday, January 23, 2019 | Trinity Lutheran Evangelical Church, Gibsonia, PA When I was a sophomore in high school a few decades ago, an acronym that we hear frequently today, was just being introduced, and those three letters are DNA, which stand for deoxyribonucleic acid. My high school biology teacher and a longtime friend is always amazed at what I remember from her class and occasionally I spout out some other fact from this or that sophomore class. To her credit, this is a tribute to her teaching…not only that I remember a word but can still relate to the topic. DNA is what makes us ..read more
