We're back to green. It is once again ordinary time as the cycle of the church calendar gears up for the next high holy series. The church calendar follows a pattern that cycles twice. preparation, celebration, enlightenment, pause. Advent prepares for Christmas reflected by Epiphany. Lent prepares for Easter reflected by Pentecost. Ordinary time fills the 'in betweens'. Winter ordinary time is significantly shorter then the summer round. Though to many it seems odd that we seem to jump so quickly from Jesus is gunna be born, Jesus is born, Jesus is gunna die, Jesus' is alive. Ordinary time is the seasons in which we can really focus on the daily life and ministry of Jesus. Particularly those 3 years that felt like 30. Those years between when Mary rode in on a donkey and when Jesus rode in on a donkey. I attempted to capture ordinary time in a human sculpture and dear friend one time.
