In a moving article by Rose Marie Berger in February’s SOJOURNERS entitled, “In Paradise, They Play Jazz” there are some quotes for this First Sunday In Lent from Dave Brubeck:
The temptation to rationalize one’s compromising as a means to gain idealistic ends is the theme of the wilderness dialogue between Jesus and the Devil.
Louis Armstrong later sang Brubeck’s lyrics, “They say I look like God. Could God be Black?….You raised us from the dust and breathed a life with trust and gave man the great choice to be alone on earth or one with Thee….When will that great day come?”
Seems as though these may find a home in our weekend homilies. May you have a Blessed Lent…
In the process of unfolding, Horace Brown King
