Make Straight the Way of the Lord

Dec 10, 2023 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

Ready or not, here I come: a childhood game of hide and seek opens this Advent reflection on John the Baptist's cry from Isaiah 40. Like Adam and Eve in the garden, we hide from God out of guilt and shame. Eisenhower's grueling 1919 Army convoy, which led to the interstate highway system, shows that making a straight road is hard work, and the Holy Spirit is the power that levels mountains and fills valleys.
