Walks like today are one positive of a warm Texas December. 🐾🐕‍🦺🌄

Merry Christmas tide! There are 12 days leading up to Epiphany (Jan 6) so feel free to keep celebrating Jesus' birth and his first Advent.
It's okay to keep the tree & lights up, sing seasonal songs, and celebrate hope.
Peace on earth, goodwill to all.🎄

Grading done for my OT students. Once again, relieved and pleased to see how well the students did and to see students who overcame some challenges to finish well.
Professor sympathy pains are real, lol. 📜📚🖊️

Merry Christmas to all!
Grateful for the one born our wondrous Advocate, mighty God, Father for all time, and Prince of peace.

Peace on earth and goodwill toward all people. 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🎄👑

It may not be accurate to have the magi at the nativity (mixing Luke 2 & Matt 2).

But many Christians don't observe Epiphany so this traditional inclusion of the star, the magi, & their gifts allow for the Epiphany story to be remembered - Jesus, a light for ALL nations who came for all people.🌠🎄👑

Looking forward to speaking on Epiphany, Matt 2, the Magi, & the significance of this special observance.

Feels timely to celebrate Jesus' first appearance (epiphaneia) to the gentiles.

Grateful for a shepherd-king who is good, just, and a light for all nations.🕯️👑✝️🌠

The current idols that are harming the church and those in ministry:
performance, productivity, and platform.
(Sorry for the three Ps, I guess pastor brain is a thing.)
These idols undermine and mute the liberating ministry of the Spirit, the love of Christ, the grace of God. 🕊️✝️

As I look at the ministry landscape and see burnout, struggles, hurt, and failures, I am convinced of this:

We may say the right things about the Spirit and what the Spirit does, but we don't actually live and practice as if our pneumatology is true.💔

"Silent Day" - the lesser known carol about the campus on the Friday before Christmas break. 😁

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, students, teachers, and staff. Enjoy your break, get some rest. 🎄

Grading papers can be a chore, but it is fulfilling to read good work and see the growth of students.
I love seeing students grasping important concepts/issues in the field of OT studies. 📚🖊️📓

"How has Jacob rebelled, you ask?
Samaria epitomizes their rebellion!
Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask?
They are right in Jerusalem!" ~Mic 1:5 (NET)

Where was the center of rebellion & idolatry, it was in the heart of the nation.

A word for today.📜

A lament: We're called to be light, to be salt, & to do the kind of good works that cause our *neighbors* to praise our Heavenly Father.

Sadly there's a lot of the opposite, actually.

Many of our neighbors are actually hurt, marginalized, & pushed away from God by what Xians do. 💔

Last OT class of the semester and I had a great time with this group of students.
Loved discussing the Torah & OT theology with these students. Thankful to be able to teach OT courses here.📜📚

Late night on campus - peaceful and fulfilling.🕯️🌲

Isaiah prophesied about Emmanuel - the With-us God.
Encouraged as we reflected on his righteousness, justice, and a day when nations would stream to his glorious city.
There we will no be a need for swords or training for war. We long.
O come, o come, Emmanuel. 🕯️🕯️🌲

Enjoyed another great #LightsOnTheLawn at Dallas Seminary.

Enjoyed celebrating with students, faculty, and staff. A light shines in the darkness. 🌲🕯️

One of the reasons I love Christmas decorations is the reminder that light shines in the darkness.
The darkness is real, but a light has dawned. 🕯️🌲

I can now put the tree up in my office.

This is a special time of year, a season with many facets of significance.

Thankful for the Advent journey and the coming Christmas season.
O come, O come, Emmanuel.🕯️🌲

The start of Advent feels weighty this year. Thankful to be able to worship and focus on the themes each week.
#Hope feels especially meaningful these days. 🕯️
Appreciate @barry.d.jones reminding us that we live in the valley between the peak of the first Advent and the Summit of his return.

When they talk up all the lottery players on the Buckeyes roster I just want to say in my snarkiest tone, "So Joel, why are they 0-4?"

Five mile walk on a gray, cool, windy day. Love the mood - feels like an Advent sort of day.

Enjoyed running the #IrvingTurkeyTrot 5k. Good start to the day, good morning I'm with friends, and a way to support Irving Schools.

Five years ago we would not have seen ourselves as Turkey Trotters but all the walking has changed us. 🦃👟🏅

There have been times in my life when this season was all about Christmas and joy.

In recent years this season has been about Advent and feeling the weight of the "not yet" as we wait.

Thankful that this season can hold both the heaviness of waiting and the joy of Christ's arrival.🕯️
