On The Table

Hi church,

As winter (such as it is) progresses toward spring, we also draw near to Lent. And it's a presidential election year, which (in Moff's words) "means that the candidates do everything they can to stir up our sense that We Are In Peril and Only They Can Save Us". Add that to the continued sluggish economy, an Occupy movement that flourished and then (perhaps) died in cities around the world, an Arab spring that has now continued through four seasons, and throw in a dash of Mayan apocalypse, and it's fair to say that many of us are feeling some ambient anxiety.
