Meditations from The Hill #6

After a lengthy hiatus, "Meditations from The Hill" returns. I would love to pinpoint the "one" reason for the long spell between podcasts but alas there are too many contributing factors. I hope this is a course correction for those who follow the Lectionary. This podcast is something of a recap of the last two weeks texts from Mark 19.

 

Tim Youmans granted me permission to use his original music. Follow the links from his blog to his music and enjoy.

Enjoy

Meditations from The Hill #5

Solomon’s dedicatory prayer, Jesus’ question to the disciples, "Will you go too?" and the Songwriter’s celebration of the "courts of the LORD." This week’s meditation on the Lectionary texts for Sunday, August 27 is not up.
