A Walk In Beauty - Episode #4142
Tuesday August 06, 2024
The Rev. Winnie Varghese, rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, draws her sermon “Walk in Beauty” from the story of Elijah’s wilderness journey to Mount Horeb found in I Kings 19.4-18. Starving and exhausted, he asks to die, but is twice awakened from sleep to hot bread and water. “So let us watch for bread on hot stones. Seek out some pita or fry bread or a tortilla if you can. Especially on those days when you have nothing left. When even the miraculous power of God has somehow not won the day,” she says. “Food for the journey. From the people of the land. Enough.”
