* Cornelius Hill
1834 -1907
priest & chief among
the Oneida.
When Cornelius was 13, Oneida leaders summoned him from his studies at the Episcopal Church mission
in Nashotah, to attend a feast in his honor. As the
son of an Indian chief of
the Bear clan in Wisconsin, he was about to as-
sume the role of a chief himself. In the ceremony
that followed, he was given his tribal name,
Onangwatgo, “Big Medicine.” He
would bring honor to that name.

I was feeling really down about the state of the country and our inability to do anything about the corruption, the ineptitude & the cruelty I see. But I sat down to read Morning Prayer and the first lesson was 1 Samuel 8:1 -22. I recognized the passage and was going to skip by it ... what can prophet’s kids going wrong and the people wanting a king have to do with today? And God whispered; “Shhhh. Just read it Louise." And as I ddid I heard "If everything is kattywhomus, maybe maybe it's not about veering off into something completely different. Maybe the call is to reform, to return.”
As an Episcopalian, I do not read the Bible literally. But when I literally read it, when I stop long enough to "hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them," it IS the Word of God, active and alive today. But I do need to sit my butt down and listen. When I do it’s t's like manna in this wilderness.

Monday Evening, June 24, being the Nativity of John the Baptist
_Luke 1:63______________________
His
name
is John
______________________________
I Do love this story - it’s so many layer-
ed!! Remember, this is the birth of Jesus’ cous-
in John. Mary, newly pregnant went to be with
Elizabeth (who was in her 6th month after being
barren & now both she & her husband Zech-
ariah are old.) Nonetheless she is pregnant.
Meanwhile, taking his turn as priest
at the evening sacrifice, an angel prophesies
about the coming birth. SAY WHAT? Zech-
ariah said and was struck dumb. (There are
times when God needs to get our attention)
When the child is born, they ask Eliz-
abeth what the baby’s name is and she says
what the angel had told her to name him:
John. Which causes a furor. JOHN?! Silly
woman! Where did you get that!? Nobody in your family is named John - you should call him Zechariah after his father. What doss SHE Know? So they MOTION to Zechariah, as f he was both Deaf AND dumb! They give him a tablet and he writes: His name is John
And his tongugue is loosed.
